Top Sea Shanty Songs

A sea shanty/chanty is a 19th century work song that was sung by the crew of merchant sailing ships. Shanty songs had a practical purpose. Sailors would sing together to synchronize their actions and optimize their labor as they worked on the large ships. However, a recent TikTok trend is evidence that even after a couple hundred years, a sea of time can’t separate us from the fact that shanty songs still slap! Enjoy our list of the top timeless sea shanties.
