@hanno21664 I'm glad your students are interested in sea shanties. Did you also tell them that the age of sail might come back because they *shipping companies* figured out if you attach this huge parachute on the foredeck of a ship. it'll cut down on fuel costs. Now of course modern day sailboats are gonna look like giant monstrosities, but who cares?

@floorpounder also wanted to add that the subject of singing came up for one of my students saw an old movie with robert newton, who played blackbeard and she, the student had asked me if sailors good or bad sang on ships and what kind of songs did they sing. so i thought i would show the entire class some sea shanties that i found on youtube to give them an idea of songs at sea. although i did stress that the songs on youtube were not the same one they had long ago.

@floorpounder i understand that in fact i taught the class that once you decide to be a pirate you choose the criminal life, and you do what you can to inflict terror, my point in showing this to the students was that during the age of sail, no matter what ship you probably had specific songs to do certain work on the ship to keep the everyone in pace. everyone already knew pirates played both sides of the law. and did terrible things. take care my friend

@hanno21664 not every old sailing thing does with pirates... pirates steal, rape steal rap steal rape.
