When I went through lifeboatman school in SF, the instructor, Tommy Zee, was a one eyed son of a British woman and Chinese man . He had sailed on everything from clipper ships to container ships. Very few people today could stand up to the harsh conditions of the whalers.

This is my favorite performance of this shanty in large part because of Teresa Morgan's harmony. I'm not aware of any other performance of this shanty that uses harmony in the response (as in call-response). Arguably, it's not authentic for a sea shanty to include a female voice but this is just beautiful to listen to.

[@stephentravis6718]

+Yes Master! This song ("Santy Anno") is from the 1989 album "Victory Sings At Sea" with Teresa Morgan singing harmonies. Philip Morgan formed this ensemble group "Victory at Sea" in the late 80's. "The Cutters", were formed by Philip and Teresa Morgan in the early ’90s. The Cutters" (which, by 2005, included the Morgan''s two children) released four CDs between 1994 and 2005. www.dancinweb.com/images/oct05.pdf

[@Rikki0]

+Stephen Travis Stephen I stand to be corrected but I don't believe this was written to be, nor was it ever used as, a sea shanty. It's simply a song that came about from disgruntled British sailors who joined the Mexican Navy after the war of 1812 so they could keep fighting the Americans.

[@Rikki0]

+Stephen Travis Hmm...after some consideration, though the meter doesn't seem appropriate for a work shanty, it could have been used as a forecastle/forebitter shanty.

[@rkt739]

[@Kaitipoo]

The Cutters recorded at least three CD's. you might look on Amazon or E-Bay. They are very, very good. hope you find some.

I wonder how these songs will change when we finally start traveling the stars, if they are sung at all that is.

[@codyyoung5946]

I'm fairly certain that Star Shanty's will come about once we take to the stars, after all, sailing through space is a long experience, you need something to pass the time, though don't quote me I'm not an expert.

[@madisonatteberry9720]

@@codyyoung5946 I hope so.....actually, I don't know if you'll find this interesting but I've been making something along the lines of 'star shanties' for a story I've been working on for a year or two now. Basically a lot of sea shanties were 'reverse engineered' to fit the changing times. So for example the song, 'Rolling down to Old Maui' is, 'We'll find our own Maui' about spacefarers finding their own tropical place to call home and has some of the elements of the original song within it and called 'New world shanties' while those that cannot be changed with the times for whatever reasons are called 'Old World shanties' and those that were meant to change with the times like, 'The last shanty' are called 'Cross world shanties.'

I've decided to review and rewrite a lot of it, as the writings show how my physical health was affecting me and then followed by my mental during lockdown when I was stuck at home for six months, I rent a room in the middle of the woods.....complete isolation sounds cool, nature all to ones self, away from cities, just you and your thoughts.....until you actually live it. Yeah, and also, in the middle of the woods, internet connection is sort of bad on many days, so I often cut off from the world, it.....shows in my writings.....finally read Adam Smiths 'The Wealth of nations' though, I found it fascinating how much of what he said in the 1700's, is still relevant. He even predicted that in 200 to 250 years from him time, more sources of gold would be found, and he was right....only, not on 'Earth' which kind of inspired me to rewrite a lot of things, or even update with more details in other parts, so, I've decided to review, rewrite, and add more back lore going back centuries from the main story so to set up not just the universe, but also a history of Humanity and several other spacefaring species.

Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, "Santi Anno" fought against U.S. invasion to Mexico. "Santi Anno" gained the day in the battle of Molino del Rey (King's Mill). This battle was won by mexican army to Zachary Taylor, and it was about 11 or 12 years after the Texas rebelion in which Mexico lost that territory. In that war many british and irish soldiers who had migrated to U.S.A. deserted american army and passed to mexican side because they knew it was an unfair war. Probably they invented this song.

[@pisica666]

don't be sorry for the whales back then , because men often died in the process. It was a nobel fight for survival . Nowadays we hunt them with machines for nothing...

[@fransbuijs808]

No. It's a fair fight when two opponents challenge each other. The whales didn't challenge anybody, they didn't do any human any harm, it was the humans that decided to hunt the whales. I don't feel sorry for captain Ahab, I feel sorry for the whale that is bleeding and has to keep dragging the corpse of this sorry human being with him through the oceans.

"Moby Dick" from Herman Melville's classic novel published 18 Oct. 1851 & the resulting 1956 film.

reminds me of a french song about a ship called santiano.

[@Lincoln2000]

Probably because the french version is based on this one or any other of the dozens of recordings of this song which exist in the English language ...

[@merovetouchstone]

Aaron Schuehly Don't know about that, both are sea songs but they don't have either the same melody nor the same meaning. On top of that, this one is about a place and the french one is about a ship called santiano. Maybe the ship is based on this song wich in turn is the base for the french song.

[@Lincoln2000]

I tought you meant the song "Santiano" by Hugues Aufray, because this is actually one of the more famous french songs (/watch?v=_sWdxvNj-n0), but if you say that the song you mean doesn't have the same melody it couldn't be this one... Who sang the song you mean?

[@rogermarsh5216]

Hughes Aufray didn't write the melody to his version but basically lifted it and the Santiano/Santyana name and wrote different lyrics to the rest. It's not originally a French song at all, but derived from the much older sea song in English. That said, I do also like the Hugues Aufray version.

[@ez45]

And that sea song is actually originally a war song from Mexican soldiers under General Santa Anna.
