If you can find 'em, try "Shanties from the Seven Seas" by Stan Hugill, Routledge & Kegan Paul, London, 1961 - excellent collection with hundred of shanties, forebitters and others, plus tunes.

Also for US shanties try William Main Doerflinger's collection of "Shanteymen and Shanteyboys". Very definitive collection published in 1951.

Good luck.
