I was once crewing the sailing trawler Excelsior at a sail, music and beer festival in Horsens in Denmark
They had 'the other sort' of shanty, but nobody seemed to know the words.
Because of item 3 in the festival I was able to oblige.
Trouble is that most shanties have two quite different sets of words and I don't know - and nobody will tell me - which I sang.
