I just recently discovered what he meant to be his volume 2 of the work, but it was not published until after his death. Found "Chanteying Aboard American Ships" during a trip to Mystic this year. A delightful suprise and the introduction detailing the facinating life of Mr Harlow was excellent, as well as all the lyrics, music and descriptions of who, what, when and where certain chanteys were sung during his billets were excellent. Ahoy,
