Sea shanties are a form of work song traditionally sung by sailors working on the rigging of ships. There are several types, divided based on the type of work they set the rhythmic base for. For example:

• short haul shanties: for quick pulls over a short time
• capstan shanties: for repetitive, longer tasks that require a sustained rhythm
• halyard shanties: for heavier work that requires more time between pulls to set up
