| | Shanty singing groups in-game; who's with me? - Flying Lab Software Forums |
 | | And as most of us RN folk are Hornblower and Aubrey afficiandos, we can't help but bear the "Nelson Touch" on how we see the Navy. |
 | | The songs that sailors sang, like the catches or ballads such as John Bannister, William Boyce, Henry Purcell, Dr. Garrick, Nicholas Staggins, or even something by John Eccles or Thomas Arne, are not marine-born, though they are forecastle songs, etc.. |
 | | However, these adopted sea songs, of which Hearts of Oak, When the Stormy Winds do Blow, Rule Brittania, Admiral Vernon's Ghost, are not exactly as apropos as "Liverpool Gals" or "Heavy Away, Joe." If I could enforce it to be all period, I would, but I'll opt for Victorian shanties, if shanties they be. |
