Others had sung on the James Craig before of course, and had tried to get some shantly singing going. I did sing below decks some years ago,while setting up for a corporate event, and lobbied to get the sessions going, and crewed on it for a day, but others including John Warner have crewed on it and sung far more since, including a proper ocean sail to Newcastle. She is a proper ocean-going ship, magnificent through the water. Maybe all ships that have a great shape for sailing sound good too. Unfortunately I have since had to worship her from afar.
