This anthology includes both traditional songs, contemporary songs (from the early 20th century), and nautical poetry. Several women composers are included. There are many jewels in this collection, awaiting refurbishing. Unfortunately there is no musical notation. However, there is an excellent forward and full references and the whole anthology is clearly a labor of love.
