Subject: RE: Whalers and chanteys?
That's a crazy co-incidence. One of my research projects concerns a coasting vessel from Yorkshire called a billyboy c1820-1920. I just this week found out a local pierhead painter, Reuben Chappell, sailed on one of these from Yorkshire to Par in Cornwall c1894. Its name, 'Daisy'!
