Hi, Snuffy.

Robinson's repertoire would be especially interesting, since he was at sea (though we don't know where) during the Gold Rush era.

If shantying was well-established in the late '40s, he would presumably have learned most of his shanties (though we don't which)in his first year before the mast.

Mark Page's repertoire would be equally worthy of investigation. I do know he sang "The Hog-Eye Man" for Carpenter.
