Berani nongol ku gilas

What is a Sea Shanty? Shanties are the work songs that were used on the square-rigged ships of the Age of Sail. Their rhythms co-ordinated the efforts of many sailors hauling on lines. Traditional shanties can be grouped into four main types. 'Short haul' shanties, for tasks requiring quick pulls over a relatively short time, 'Halyard' shanties, for heavier work requiring more set-up time between pulls, and 'Capstan' shanties, for long, repetitive tasks requiring a sustained rhythm but not involving working the lines. The purpose of these shanties was to ease the sailors' tasks on board a ship. The fourth type of shanty, called Torbitters' or 'Forecastle', were shanties sung by the sailors for relaxation in the evenings. This would have been in the forecastle, the living quarters that housed the sailors. Singing was a favoured method of relaxation. The songs sung could come from places visited, either at home or from some foreign land. Naturally, songs of love, adventure, pathos and famous men, battles, or just plain funny songs topped the list. The lyrics were by no means definitive. The shantymen could adapt a song based on the task at hand. The verses could be sung in any order or words changed/omitted/added. A good shantyman would be worth his weight in gold. Shanty singing on ships has gone on since 1493; the glory days of shanties were from roughly 1820 to 1920. The advent of steam and diesel powered ships killed the job of shantyman. Much loved by modern sailors, folk groups continue the tradition today.
