GUEST,Suffolk Miracle	Folklore: Shantying on Military Ships (52* d)	RE: Folklore: Shanteying On Military Ships	16 Jun 08
"I have a memory of someone stating that there were two shanties allowed in the Royal Navy, one of which was 'Drunken Sailor.' Gurney Was the other one 'Spanish Ladies'? I ask, because the official Royal Navy history website lists 4 'shanties' as being RN - Captain Kidd, Benbow, Spanish Ladies and Drunken Sailor. The first two aren't shanties, and in my view Spanish Ladies isn't either, but Hugill accepts it as a capstan shanty.
