Does a sea chantey group exist in the general Boston area?

Just to clarify, do you mean a choral group that meets and performs chanteys? You might check out the Revels folks: http://www.revels.org/

Yes. (http://homepage.mac.com/lynnoel/crosscurrents/groups_bands/mit_chantey_sing.html)

The pit kids in Harvard Sq have been known to perform a few.

...in South Australia my native land
Heave away! Haul away!
Full of rocks, and fleas, and thieves, and sand
And we're bound for South Australia.

I'd recommend the group pierceheart linked to if you're looking for an opportunity to sing and learn more songs.

Also: sea chanteys are the best. Period. And now I realize I need to make that pic of me with a pirate hat into an icon.

Ha! Did you hear us kicking up a ruckus on the Stad Amsterdam?

We're the group pierceheart (http://pierceheart.livejournal.com/) linked, but there are chantey sings (http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/NE_ChanteySings/) all up and down the east coast!

Arrrrrrr!
