This book is an excellent start: https://www.amazon.com/Shanties-Seven-Seas-Maritime-Hugill/dp/0913372706/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=hugill+songs+seven+seas&qid=1611260987&sr=8-1

i was a small child when I heard this instrumental compilation of shanties called the wind in the rigging

i've liked that album so much i dug up the tape and ripped it to mp3

Thanks.

for point of distinction, the first station is strictly sea shanties, period.

This one's just an indiscriminate bucket of sea slop, i used it to try to find new content http://www.pandora.com/station/fa8c57f79ee8a12d3cdad521cf74a9f23d02505b8421c31b

this one is for sea songs that are not shanteys, including a few where i can't tell if it's a forebitter or a capstan chantey http://www.pandora.com/station/199151603435771868

So I found some stuff that helped me slightly make heads or tails of the version with which I'm familiar.

The Holy Ground Once More is a sea shanty, closely related to Old Swansea Town Once More. There is a book called Shanties from the Seven Seas by Stan Hugill that is a very important reference if you enjoy sea shanties. It is published by the Mystic Seaport Museum and is available from several sources online. It is ISBN 0-913372-70-6.

Duolingo has a free Irish language course available as an app or in a browser.

Shanties from the Seven Seas: Shipboard Work-Songs and Some Songs Used as Work-Songs from the Great Days of Sail https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B75X2GJX/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_ZJHJ39S32X1A2HGYBJ63

This is probably the definitive text! Stan Hugill was instrumental in the recording and preserving shantys in the 1960s.

Worth noting, of course, that the tune was composed in the 1960s by the Young Tradition's Royston Wood; no historical tune has survived. Bits of another Fire Marengo text, heard in 1850s Mobile, and a description of its usage, can be found here.

Most of the "standards" are 100+ years old. A little googling should turn up citations attesting to the fact.

You can also look for old collections like this which have publication dates that put them in the public domain, which means the contents are as well.

You are well on your way to understanding the breadth and depth of these genres of folk song - keep it up! For a solid grounding in traditional sea chanteys I highly recommend Gibb Schreffler’s book Boxing The CompassBoxing The Compass.

Couldn't find a mirror, but you can hear a sample (and can buy it) on Amazon.
