Songs of the Sea from Collections and Archives•
Castlebay / Julia Lane & Fred Gosbee

These songs are part of a rich tradition of singing and storytelling that came with emigrants to Maine from Britain, Scotland, and Ireland. Some retain the original lyrics and melodies, others have been changed as memory and environment have dictated. They give us a window into history, romance, anxiety, and humor shared by our ancestors at work and leisure.

* Subsequent to making this recording we have published a book of 160+ traditional sea songs collected in Maine circa 1880-1945. "Songs of Ships & Sailors" is available on our merch page.
