Each session is hosted by a local artist who leads the group through a variety of traditional maritime work songs and ballads. 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. Attendees are encouraged to sing along with the chorus but you can feel free to just sit back and enjoy the music.

"Preregistration is encouraged. Walkups will be accommodated as possible. If you have a specific song that you would like to sing in mind, please inform us of the song title when you register.

"With colder weather on the horizon, the November program is moving indoors to the first-floor galleries of the Maritime City exhibition in the Museum’s A.A. Thomson & Co. warehouse at 213 Water Street. Surrounded by wonderful objects from the Seaport Museum’s collections and archives, this special setting will bring a unique atmosphere to the program."
