4．You have signed on for months of hard work．You're far from home．The pay is bad．The food is worse．You find rare comfort in the simple songs that you and your work mates sing．
This is what a sailor's life was like in the 1800s．The songs sung aboard ships were called sea shanties．You have probably heard a shanty or two yourself．Many of these songs have lasted through the years．They can often be found in surprising places today．
Sea Shanties Then…
Sea shanties were valuable friends to sailors．Some shanties，such as"Blow the Man Down，"had lively words and melodies．They broke up the boredom of long trips．Other shanties，including one called"Oh，Shenandoah，"had a sadder tone．They helped seafarers express longing and loneliness．Still other shanties，such as"Leave Her，Johnny，"let sailors complain about their hard lives．
But the first job of the sea shanty was to help the men work as a team．Ships had sails that were controlled by a system of moving ropes．For many jobs，all of the sailors had to pull on the ropes at once．
When faced with such a job，the shantyman，or song leader，began a tune．The crew joined in on the chorus，and it might have sounded like a playful sing-along．But when the sailors came to a certain beat，they knew it was the signal to pull together with all their might．
Raising or lowering the anchor called for a rhythm with a slow，steady motion．Then，the shantyman would choose a shanty with a slow，steady beat to match the job．Each duty on the sailing ship had its own rhythm and its own kind of song．
…and Sea Shanties Now
Sea shanties have been passed down to us in much the same way as folk stories．Long ago，someone came up with a memorable idea and melody．Others repeated the shanty，often adding changes along the way．
Over time，people saw the sea shanty for the treasure it was．Like any treasure，shanties were collected．Many were written down in books．
Where do the old shanties appear now？Today's musical artists love the fun，beauty，and history of these songs．Many musicians，including Bob Dylan and Harry Belafonte，have their own versions of"Oh，Shenandoah．"One group，the Robert Shaw Chorale，recorded a collection of shanties．
In Hollywood，shanties serve as a symbol of the sea．A fisherman sings the shanty"Spanish Ladies"in the film Jaws．The cartoon character Woody Woodpecker whistles"Blow the Man Down"when he finds himself aboard a pirate's ship．
Today，shanties tell us about shipboard life more than one hundred years ago．They help us understand what the working sailor sang and perhaps thought about．
So the next time you're doing a boring task，try making up a tune to go along with it．Time may pass more quickly，and your job may seem easier．Also，you may understand why sailors loved those old songs of the sea．

A．to communicate with passing ships
