Not shanties but sailors' ballads
and forebitters, the songs sung when off-duty to entertain fellow seamen.
The pageant of British seafaring leaps off the history books' pages
and comes to life in these strong renditions by Ewan MacColl, A.L.Lloyd,
Roy Harris and other outstanding interpreters of sailors' songs.
