p29 Cape Cod Shantey (American Sea Shantey) Tone color, solo-chorus, rhyming lyrics,
p30 The Whale - ballad (whales and whaling history date back as early as 3000 BC - whaling ships sailed from the northeastern ports of the USA (especially New Bedford and Nantucket, Massachusetts) - in the 1800s some whaling voyages lasted for three years and were very hard and dangerous - sailors passed the time by maintaining & cleaning the ship, mending nets and clothes, doing laundry, carving & scrimshaw (ancient art form of artistic engraving and pictures etched in ivory or shells made from by products of whales, sea shells, etc.), and singing songs about activities of the day. As the USA grew, the whaling industry (used for meat, oil (for lights which is no longer needed with the invention of electricity) , blubber, combs, jewelry (which plastic has now replaced the need for items made out of whale) grew so large that whales are now an endangered species - according to some sources - the International Whaling Commission banned whaling in 1986 with some exceptions. There are some countries still whaling - not participating in the ban.)
cross-trees - the top of the sail mast post where the lookout would climb to look for whales spouting
davit-tackle - the mechanism used to lower small boats into the sea
