Heaving Shanties
Windlass Shanties
21 songs
The brake windlass is a horizontal winch, smaller than a capstan, of later invention and especially popular on whaling boats.
The invention of this device led to a family of windlass shanties with a distinctly staccato rhythm, but other existing shanties were adapted to the job as well.
