| Summary | "The Shanty Book, Part I, Sailor Shanties" by Richard Runciman Terry is a collection of traditional sea shanties compiled and edited during the early 20th century. This musical publication aims to preserve the rich maritime heritage associated with sailor songs, which became less common with the decline of sailing vessels. The book provides a glimpse into the unique cultural expressions of sailors, emphasizing the importance of the songs in their labor and camaraderie. The content of the book features a variety of well-known shanties such as "Billy Boy," "Shenandoah," and "What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor?" Each shanty in the collection is presented with its lyrics and accompanying musical notation, showcasing the structure and rhythm essential for their performance. The shanties reflect a range of themes, from personal stories and romantic liaisons to humorous takes on seafaring life. Terry also provides notes on the origins and contexts of each song, contributing to the reader's understanding of the cultural significance of these folk tunes among sailors.
