As a complement to Coot-san's excellent file of music for the Chanties in Arthur Ransome, I have added to the Literary Pages John Masefield's 1906 article 'Sea Songs'. This was commissioned by AR for the failing literary periodical Temple Bar, and undoubtedly helped to spark his lifelong interest in chanties: eight of the chanties in the Swallows & Amazons stories appear in the Masefield article.
