GUEST,Phil d'Conch Maritime work song in general (725* d) RE: Maritime work song in general 16 Jan 23


“SCOTLAND
...Entering a boat at the end of Loch Katrine, we were soon joined by four stout rowers, who started off in fine style, singing with tolerable melody the well-known boat-song, and “Hail to the Chief.”
[Summer's Jaunt Across the Water, Smith, 1846]

Advent of steam trivia, same volume: "The attempt to establish a steamboat on Loch Katrine, in 1843, frustrated by the boatmen's sinking it, to prevent interference with their trade, is about to be renewed; but the rowers seemed to think the effort would be attended with like success."
