Returning to the deck of the 1885 tall ship Wavertree from May through October, the monthly sea-song sing along, will be hosted by a local artist who will lead the group through a variety of traditional maritime work songs and ballads. Throughout the in-person only event, attendees of all skill levels are welcome to take the stage for this round-robin where you will be able to sing and share the chantey of your choice. Attendees will be encouraged to sing along with the chorus or just sit back and enjoy each performance. Singers of all levels, as well as listeners, will be welcome to participate in this free event where you will be able to lead or request a song during the round-robin or simply listen.

Advanced in-person registration is be encouraged, but walkups will be accommodated as possible. Any attendee is be welcome to lead a song during the round-robin; if you have a specific song in mind, please inform us of the song title when you register. This event will take place rain or shine. In the event of rain, the event will be moved from the main deck to an indoor place on the ship.

Access to Wavertree involves climbing a few stairs, walking up an angled gangway, and descending a few stairs onto the deck. The lower decks are accessible via stairs, while the upper deck requires navigating steep ladder-like stairs.
