A Sea Shanty (also known as a chantey) Is a traditional song sung by sailors, either in maritime trade or the navy. There are many different kinds of shanties. Some were used as work songs sung while performing particular tasks on board ship, some were ballads sung purely for entertainment as a pastime, and others were merely drinking songs. They usually have central themes of shipboard life, sweethearts/mistresses/evil women, and/or going home. They are still sung today aboard traditional sailing vessels and at designated "chantey sings" across the country.
