Pirates, shanghaiers, slavers, and smugglers are just some of the central characters in this album of lusty, authentic maritime songs; others are ardent patriots, hard-pressed immigrants, and weathered sailors sheltering in the taverns of the seven seas. Their compelling stories of bold adventure are excitingly re-told here by an all-star crew of Irish singers and musicians led by New York based celtic folk vocalist/author Dan Milner. A detailed 40-page booklet tells the whole story.
