Subject: RE: Hugill/Dana's missing shanties
Well, we had authentic, working bowlines for the spritsail, so the only shanty was "haul on the bowline", and that was only when tacking. When we left London we were serenaded with "Loath to Depart". I played "Edystone Light" on my concertina as we passed.
As Archy would say, "Yours for Rum Riot"
