GUEST,Phil d'Conch	Maritime work song in general (725* d)	RE: Maritime work song in general	22 Mar 20
1500AD The word “sailor” isn't part of the merchant marine yet. Johannes Gutenberg (1400-1468) The standard “Age of Heroic Commerce” is c.1600 to 1900 [Brown], however... Portuguese India (1505) “The styles of sea songs were shaped by the shipping routes that formed during the Age of Heroic Commerce, connecting Western Europe, the Americas, the West Indies, and Africa. Since ports of call were social hubs and trading centers for material goods, cultural philosophies, and traditional music, these sites served as meeting grounds for “white men’s songs and shanties and Negro songs and work-songs” where sailors would leave “after being hammered into shanties by the Negroes, and Negro work-songs from ashore would be taken by white sailors and added to their repertoire for halyard and capstan.” [Reidler]
