Maritime Music

Northwest Seaport’s music program strives to carry on the rich traditions of nautical music, and bring to life diverse historical and contemporary maritime work songs and forebitters.

Attend a NWS Monthly Chantey Sing to connect with these maritime folk traditions.

Sign up for email notifications of our Chantey Sings and other local maritime music events. 

David Kessler leads this traditional chantey at the November 11, 2016 ​NW Seaport Chantey Sing in Seattle, WA.
