We look forward to greeting old friends and new. Monthly Sea Chantey Sings Join us for a rollicking good time, 8-10pm, the second Friday of each month. You help provide the entertainment by participating alongside professional chantey singers, performing the ancient songs of the sea. Held aboard the three-masted schooner Wawona, beverages and light snacks are available for purchase. Your free-will donations help restore the 1897 ship.
Sea chanties are the work songs sailors used to keep rhythm for the many manual tasks aboard ship.
They are a pleasant way to learn more about the lives of sailors in the good old days. Northwest Seaport's popular maritime concert series is setting sail for 2001.
