From inside front flap: Of all the collections of Sea Songs and Shanties, Captain Whalls' is at once admitted to be the most authoritative.  With a musical training, young Whall ran off to sea, becoming a really fine seaman and navigator.  His musical training served him well, and his fine collection of sea shanties will fill admirers of the sea with an healthy glow of pride in the old days of sailing ships.  

From Preface:  By the courtesy of the Editors of Nautical Magazine and Yachting Monthly I now publish the songs and shanties in book form.  A few portraits of celebrated sailing ships of the date in which these songs were sung are added.

Ships, Sea Songs and Shanties (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Ships, Sea Songs and Shanties Second edition being called for so soon is gratifying to me. Curiously A enough, I find that as many shore people are interested in these songs as sailors. I have added a few more Songs and Shanties of course there are numbers of others, but I think this selection is fairly representative. I have been asked why The Banks of Sacramento is not inserted 3 this was nothing but an old Christy Minstrel song turned into a Shanty, and for that reason I omitted it. Questions have been asked about others, but it is impossible to use all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
