[@anajinn]

Ah, but can you swim? Can you tie knots?

[@exJacktar]

@anajinn l can swim. Some guys didn't when they joined. As was explained to me that's what boats were for. You see, l grew up in the prairies, and it's common to know how to swim, but guys who grew up on the cast here frequently didn't learn. But during recruit training everyone learned how to swim if they didn't already. Knots, yes, was taught but as I didn't used that skill regularly, I'm rather rusty as my trade didn't need a great deal of rope work.

[@anajinn]

@@exJacktar Many sailors could not swim because, if the vessel was sinking, they preferred to go down with it, rather than to keep swiming around in the water

Its a video capture thing and common at concerts and performances with mics. Only reason you catch on-stage audio so well is because of audio feed and speakers while audience audio is not picked up as well, so it translates to what sounds like a poor response when it's very much the opposite.

In this time of Covid its worth mentioning that the world's first recorded clinical trials were done on board a ship in 1753 (ref. James Lind's 'Treatise upon the Scurvy').

[@ErikSundheim]

wow! I didn't know! But the old Norse viking population knew that plants (cabbage, angelica, and leek) could prevent the disease scurvy. These plants were cultivated in kitchen gardens. The theft of these plants was punished according to old Norwegian laws. The old Norwegian name for scurvy, skyrbjugr, was first used in the saga about Thorstein the White in 1000

are you related to the Norwegian family, or the german part from Wohlde in Braunschweig? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristofer_Lehmkuhl

[@warrenlehmkuhleii8472]

@@ErikSundheim I would assume I am related to the German part of the family. We don't know much about the geology on my father's side of the family, but we have always known the Lehmkuhles to be Germans. I knew the name was North German, I had no idea there were Norwegian Lehmkuhls. As I said, I don't know much about my father's side, what I do know is confusing. North Germans are by and prominent Protestants, but the Lehmkuhles I am directly descended from are Catholic, which led me to believe the name was south-German till I learned otherwise. It is sort of funny really, I have all of these Protestant ansestors in a branch of my family except my maternal grandmother's (Slovak) and I wound up a card-carrying Catholic. But like I say, we don't know much about my dad's side of the family. Maybe I am Norwegian on that side, I doubt it, I don't know when my part of the family came over to the United States, but I don't think we would have just forgotten where we came from like that.

[@yolufrades7468]

i respect your sailor traditions but norway must pay the jubilation to the galician which work since 1940 in norways ships,its a fucking silencious genocide,that sailors escapes from a dictature and work hard for norway,they deserves your respect

[@nicklausgutknecht6226]

got confused by the confederate flag but its not one

[@ErikSundheim]

Its the flagof Norway!

[@Pootycat8359]

I sometimes have trouble distinguishing between the flags of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark....but a Confederate flag? :)

[@esmaeelsamhan8161]

This is Exceptionally wierd, can some one explain why are they singing inA genuine native British English in Norway ?! And why are they singing about south Australia - what's Norway has to o with south australia

[@ErikSundheim]

The lead singer is very professional! Norway's maritime history is great, we still have one of the biggest fleets of ship globally. Oslo is ranked #3 on THE LEADING MARITIME CAPITALS OF THE WORLD

[@esmaeelsamhan8161]

Yes he is very professional indeed! And I definitely heard of how excellent Norway is in Marine Trade! But why is he singing a native British shanty? Why are the Norwegian sailors are singing a British shanty too? is there a common history between British sailors and Norwegians and so Norwegians have learned the shanties ?

[@Lauv]

Many Norwegians served on British ships over the years and shanties spread into Norwegian shipping culture that way.

[@bladwin321]

Norwegians have been all around the world , it is what we did in the old days. Explore . So i dont see what is wierd about it ^^

[@geezergamers7101]

Ismael Samham doesn't sound very Brittish, but you probably are. A lot of these are Irish Shanties too, but I grew up listenting to them sung by Canadians. :)

[@Marco-bf4uu]

Tradition? They're just screaming? Very weird.. And don't tell me I have no clue, I served in the German navy, very traditional there and this here definetly isn't.

[@ErikSundheim]

Then you should learn Norwegian and English languages!

[@Marco-bf4uu]

@@ErikSundheim But why do they scream so aggressively and randomly? We just sing songs normally with accordions etc.

[@ErikSundheim]

@@Marco-bf4uu this is a rough shantie, imagine singing in a storm you have to use a big voice!

[@Darkblade0926]

Not the best performance of Santiana i've heard
