15th Annual Sea Chantey Fest September 16, 2007

For centuries, sailors have honed their shipboard skills to the cadence of songs recounting the adventure, tragedy and romance of life at sea. These sea chanteys come to life in a dramatic way on board the majestic sailing ship Star of India. The Maritime Museum of San Diego, along with San Diego Folk Heritage, presents the 15th Annual Sea Chantey Fest. This years lineup features two performances from special guest Oceans Apart along with favorites such as the Jackstraws, Gilman Carver, the Westlin Weavers and more. The museum sail crew will demonstrate various shipboard skills traditionally accompanied by sea chanteys and visitors will have a chance to join in and raise the sails of the historic ship.
