GUEST,Tony Coll What sea shanties did Blackbeard know? (52* d) What sea shanties did Blackbeard know? 08 Feb 18

I'm writing a play about Blackbeard the pirate, who was killed in November 1718. I'd like to include some shanties, but suspect that most of those still around today date from after that time. Can anyone suggest shanties that are old enough to have been sung by Blackbeard and his crew?
