Shantyman library

Part of an author of the page library

On this page; you will see descriptions and recommendations of positions, from my private Shantyman library. The sources which I think are worth diving into. These books are true sources of knowledge about sea shanties. Gaining knowledge about sea shanties is the main ultimate purpose of this library, every book in this library is somehow related to sea shanties and forebitters.
