Revisiting the sea shanty
This Forum considers the changing place of the sea shanty in musical culture since the late nineteenth century. Its three articles explore successive phases in the genre, from the first major published collections in the 1900s, through an important revival in the 1960s, to the dramatic recent growth in shanty festivals. This introduction locates the Forum in wider historical, musicological and related issues, and explains the research context fro…
Collecting the sea shanty
This article explores an important phase in the survival of the sea shanty as a collected, recorded and documented musical form. The final demise of the sailing ship as an economic mode of transport in the early twentieth century inspired a plethora of books and memoirs celebrating the age of sail, and many authors focused on the sea shanty. Collectors debated the accuracy of written versions, the sanitisation of lyrics and the likely origins of …
Memory and place on the Liverpool waterfront in the mid-twentieth century

Deriving much of its evidence from a collaborative public history project, it demonstrates the continuing vitality of the near waterfront zone into the 1960s, and interprets the subsequent sudden collapse of the district with the closure of the south docks in 1972. Interviewees identif…

The telephone was initially used to improve internal communications within firms, by connecting offices with warehouses, or by enabling staff working away from the office to report back. With the expansion of exchange networks, the commercial, intermediary and brokering sectors became heavy users o…

Using previously neglected evidence, it assesses the causes and consequences of major changes in the port's economy, and considers the activities of the international trading community that had to work in this complex business environment.
