Interesting Facts about the Samuel Hall
“Samuel Hall” is a beautiful capstan shanty, that was based in the old pirate song “Captain Kidd”. J. Reed of the ship “St. Mirren” gave Stan Hugill these verses. Also, Stan Hugill has referred, to that song was sung at the capstan, from the log of a sailing ship bound out to the West Indies.
The song will be reconstructed by myself as the capstan shanty.
