My God. That's the greatest thing EVER. It's cooler than the Galactus Heroclix and the Spectre Heroclix put together with chocolate. And it's a COMMON.
Barrett’s Privateers is the only shanty I know word-for-word. I learned it when I went to Toronto Brigantine (), a cool-ass organization that teaches youth how to be crew on a brig, specifically the T.S. Playfair and the S.T.V. Pathfinder. I was on Playfair for 5 days I think it was; sadly I was pretty much too old after that (would that I had discovered it sooner!).
I don't actually have a recording of Barrett’s Privateers, though I think I've heard one. Where in hell did you become familiar with it?
The Savoy Society at McGill University all knew it by heart. By association I learned much if not all of it. I need to refresh my memory every once in a while.
