Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Sailors from time immemorial have had their own brand of folklore. Much of it is borrowed from that of landlubbers, Norse Mythology and Greek Mythology, for instance, but sailors have had their own unique twists. These types of tales are what they sang to each other during long, boring voyages. They included tales of great deeds, quirky superstitions, fantastic creatures and day-to-day life on the sea. Sailor lore also has such things as haunted islands and accursed ships. Sometimes sailor tales were sung rather than told, especially as sea chanties provided rhythm to help with their work. |
