The crew of a clipper ship had to work together smoothly to keep the ship sailing. To help, they sang work songs called sea chanteys.
The chanteyman sang out the verses. They set the rhythm for the work to be done. The chanteyman made up his own lines, and the men joined in the chorus. The songs were about sailing, fishing, love, war, anything and everything. The men heaved or pulled the ropes on the beat of the chorus.
