For those of you who like sea shantys, here is a one hour documentary done in Scotland that’s very interesting and heart wrenching in their history. It almost makes me want to got to sea again, but the age of sail is no longer.

Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this. I’ve always loved this musical genre and am gratified there are some who think it important enough to keep it alive.
I had letters to write, but wound up listening to this instead. You demolished my morning and I’m so grateful! Thank you for posting this!
Nice! Thanks for the doc
Am with you, Zach; many thanks to David Voinier for this video. My dad used to sing me songs of Ireland and the sea, one I remember ended with “Many brave hearts lie asleep in the deep, so Beware, Beware!” Knowledge of our shared history can make us proud, but like freedom, once gone, it’s gone.
