Anglogeezer Help: Help finding pre-1600's sea songs (18) RE: Help: Help finding pre-1600's sea songs 31 Mar 05

You could look out for:-
"NAVAL SONGS and BALLADS" by C.H.FRITH.
Publisher, THE NAVY RECORDS SOCIETY.Vol XXXIII.1908.
Reference is made to songs of the late 1500's though nothing seems to have been recorded until the early 1600's.
EG. JOHN DORY mentioned in 1575 but not printed until 1609.
Roy Palmer's book, already mentioned was republished in 2001
as "BOXING THE COMPASS" -(ISBN 0-9540682-0-3) by HERRON PUBLISHING
