Shanties

Hi kids!

Long ago men who sailed the seas in ships spent really long times on
their voyages because their ships were slow and they had a long way to
go. They didn't have tv or anything to do so they amused themselves by
singing songs. These songs were usually about sailing or things
related to ships. They were called 'sea shanties'. Here is a picture
of Angel Jen singing her sea shanties as she steers the boat with the
big wheel. Doesn't she look happy? Of course she does. She's sailing
with Pirate John!
