It kickstarted the professional career of at least one shanty band @thelongestjohns.bsky.social who soon after signed to Decca partly because of it. Also because they were great!

Personally as someone with other shanties up on streaming sites, I did get a massive boost that continues to this day.

I'm bad at hearing lyrics and to this day I hear, "when will the weatherman come"

Good times. Still never got my sugar and tea and rum, though.

Have you done the tonguing?

The folkies remember. Not often you have to avoid a song in a pub session because too many people join in.

As someone who had gotten into the Dreadnoughts in 2020, suddenly seeing everyone singing whaling songs and shanties in 2021 was one of those strange moments of validation like "fuck yea this stuff is cool glad yall see it too"

An then all the TikTok people who added their own parts. It felt like world peace was a possibility
