Subject: RE: Maritime work song in general
“Now crossing the stream are numerous ferryboats, with passengers fresh from the rest of sleep, buoyant and braced for the day's trials and duties. Now comes ringing upon the ear the merry sound of the sailor's song as the anchor is weighed, the sail spread to the breeze and the vessel's head pointed to the outward passage.”
[The Sailor's Magazine, and Naval Journal, September 1849]


“ –– Du monde au cabestan! s'écria Wilder; il faut profiter de la brise et gagner le large pendant qu'il fait jour.
        Le retentissement des anspects précéda le chant des matelots, et l'ancre pesante fut remontée. Bientôt le vent fraîchit au large, et arriva chargé d'humidité saline.”
[Le Corsaire Rouge, Oeuvres Complètes de Fenimore Cooper, 1850]
