Excerpt from Shore Life in Song Go, little book! Go forth! Fearless Go out into the world upon Thy mission sweet of sympathy, And love, and cheer. Seek every place. Shun no heart calling in the night For brothers thought, and deed, and voice; But seek thou most earths quiet spots - The wind-blown spaces of the shore; The dwellings clustered close of them That love, and live, and die, upon The sea. There fetch thy sunniest cheer. Enter those homes where great hearts be. That bravely breast the baffling waves Of care and trial that each day Beat ceaseless on the shores of time. Such homes for thine abiding choose - Those sea-side homes fixed firm upon Gray ledges, a-top brown-red cliffs That call and answer to the sea.

Passed down in the oral tradition and sung traditionally as working songs, sea shanties tell the human stories of life at sea: hard graft, battling the elements, the loss of ships or pining for a lady on shore. Its pages decorated with hand-drawn or wood-cut illustrations from celebrated artist Jonny Hannah, Sailor Song addresses the current modern revival of sea shanties, and seeks to celebrate and to explore the historical, musical and social history of the traditional sea song through 40 beautiful, mournful, haunting and uplifting shanties. Acclaimed shanty devotee Gerry Smyth presents the background to each one alongside musical notation. The lyrics are elaborated with explanations of terminology, context including historical facts and accounts of life at sea, and the characters, both fictional and non-fictional, that appear in the songs from the great age of sail to the last days of square-rig. Where appropriate, a direct digital link is made to a shanty recording in the British Library Sound Archive.
