South Street Seaport Museum’s monthly Sea Chanteys and Maritime Music program continues on the first Sunday of every month. Join us aboard the 1885 tall ship Wavertree through October, for the lively chantey experience that will take place on the main deck of the historic cargo vessel.



Each sing will be hosted by a local artist who will lead the sea-song sing-along that will feature a variety of traditional maritime work songs and ballads. Attendees are encouraged to sing along with the chorus or just sit back and enjoy the music. Throughout the event, attendees of all skill levels are welcome to take the stage for this round-robin where you can sing and share the chantey of your choice.



Singers of all levels, as well as listeners, are welcome to attend and can lead or request a traditional maritime work song or ballad. The program will offer a round-robin where anyone can sing and share the chantey of their choice, join in the choruses throughout the event, or just listen.



The host for the August Sea Chanteys and Maritime Music program will be Jules Peiperl.



This event is free, and registration is encouraged. seaportmuseum.org/chanteysing



Advanced registration is encouraged for this event but walkups will be accommodated as possible. Any attendee is welcome to lead a song during the round-robin; if you have a specific song in mind, please inform us of the song title when you register.
