Gibb, I really appreciate you putting all of this material into this thread! And it's good to see the discussion with Q and Lighter. I hope that this might set some precedent for the future discussion of individual chanties and encourage others to jump in and go looking. And, as usual, I like the way you combine the "found" information with your own analysis. We get to deal with more than just data! This begins to put these chanties into a different kind of historical framework and that should launch some interesting discussions about the contemporary chanty business, or not.
