Turbulent seas. Love to draw 'em. I took some creative liberties with historical accuracy in the writing of these shanty lyrics, however. In 1843, American whalers would not yet be going into the Arctic, not for another 5 years. To learn about whaling in the ice however, I wrote one of my history essays here!
