Heaving Shanties
99 songs
Heaving shanties are used while working the capstan, brake windlass, or ship pumps. The rhythm and structure is suited to specific tasks such as weighing anchor, cutting-in whales, offloading cargo, or pumping ship. Whereas pulling and hauling required great, punctuated force, the tasks suited to these shanties required continuous effort.
