Ship's Company Chanteymen
Saturday, December 1, 8 p.m., Unionville High School (Driving Directions)

Ship's Company is a non-profit living history organization dedicated to the preservation of the American maritime heritage. The Ship's Company Chanteymen are dedicated to preserving and performing maritime music and perform professionally in addition to donating time and energy in support of Ship's Company living history initiatives. The seamen of the early nineteenth century were fond of singing and Ship’s Company is no different. They show many aspects of maritime life between 1775 and 1865 and include both Sailors (Navy and civilian) and Marines.

The wars that defined what the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps were to become in the future were from 1775 to1865 and include the American Revolution up to and including the American Civil War. Both Sailors and Marines within this period defined the spirit for the future generations of our proud Navy and Marine Corps. Ship's Company demonstrates these traditions to the public, for both audience enjoyment and education.
