New Sea Shanty EP Surfaces Today
They say some things never leave us. They’re always there, just out of reach, between sleep and dreams. Between the foreshore and seabed. The plaintive moan of a bachelor seal. The treasure we never found. The life we never led.
But fear not sweet hearties – the Wellington Sea Shanty Society (WSSS) are back from exile with a swag bag of forgotten futures! Secrets given up by the sea in the form of Sea Shanties of the 70’s, 80’s & Today! (their new EP).

The WSSS are also running ‘The Great Sea Shanty Treasure Hunt of 2022’. Featuring handmade bounty by WSSS alumni and jewel-smith Su Keates, free tickets, and a bottle of locally-made gunpowder rum! The map was drawn by cartographer extraordinaire Sam Van Der Weerden.
