A sea-music event ,Sea Chanteys and Maritime Music - the original NYC chantey sing - continues virtually. Join for a round-robin of shared sea songs, featuring members of The New York Packet and friends. How did the old time sailors keep their spirits up? Singing together! Work songs and fun songs, story songs and nonsense songs, songs of nostalgia and songs of up-to-the-moment news -- all were part of the repertoire onboard. At South Street Seaport Museum, the Chantey tradition lives on. Each online singalong includes a virtual look at some objects from the Museum collection related to the songs being sung. Many singalongs also include a virtual visit to one of the Museum's ships and a chat with a member of the crew.
