Bringing the rudder (the part of the boat that is in the water and steers the boat) or the tiller (the stick that is attached to the top of the rudder so you can turn it) amidship means to bring it to the centerline of the boat so there is no turning - to steer straight.

When did sailors start to sing sea shanties?

Sailors began to sing sea shanties in the 19th century, particularly during the Age of Sail when commercial sailing vessels were prevalent. These work songs were used to coordinate labor on ships, helping to synchronize tasks such as hoisting sails and hauling lines. The tradition likely evolved from earlier folk music and labor songs, with shanties gaining popularity among sailors in the mid-1800s. They served not only as practical tools for work but also as a means of boosting morale during long voyages.
