The Humpback Whale and Little Pot Stove are both sea songs too. Wonderful album, as you say.

Always loved Oysterband growing up they have an album called Little Rock to Leipzig thay I adored as a child that have a good version of New York Girls on it however, this one featuring Biggie Tembo is better when he comes on towards the end it looks so much fun:

Not completely convinced. Think she can just about pass off a shanty song albeit admittedly not quite your usual pirate.

Maritime yup
