Subject: RE: August Press Room [NH] Shanty Sing
I'm back from my road trip and other adventures.

This morning I started reading "Dangerous Work" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- his journal when he was a twenty-year-old medical student (1880) and signed on as surgeon on the S.S. Hope, a whaler in the Greenland Fishery out of Peterhead.

Dangerous Work - Review

I'm only about 30 pages into the book, but he's mentioned singing aboard ship several times.
