What is a Sea Shanty?

Written By World Ocean School

Join Captain Matthew (on his boat, Rose!) as he discusses the purpose of sea shanties over the course of history and teaches two traditional sea shanties—"Rolling Down to Old Maui" and "Spanish Ladies". 

Disclaimer: Traditional sea shanties often make references to sailor's libations. While this video does not promote drinking, alcoholic beverages are referenced in the shanties' original lyrics.
