All aboard for stories from the deep...

Inspired by the music, mystery and magic of the sea, The Wellerman and Other Shanty Tales brings together a crew of storytellers to spin you a salt-sprayed, rollicking good yarn. Some have taken their bearings from the songs and shanties of the sea, imagining the stories behind the verses and the lives of those who sang them, while others have sailed into different waters. Together, their tales bring us whalers and warships, press-ganged sailors and distant sweethearts, ghostly encounters, maritime legends and the enduring pull of the ocean. So, hoist the sails, weigh anchor and turn your face to the wind, ready to voyage across centuries and oceans.
