Shanty Singing on the Golden Hinde ship- London Bridge
The Golden Hinde, 1 & 2 Pickfords Wharf, Clink Street, London SE1 9DG, London, GBThe Golden Hinde was the first English Ship to sail around the world, captained by Sir Francs Drake in the Elizabethan era. Besides hearing us, and joining in singing the choruses, you can also explore the ship. And for your further convenience, there is an on board bar with wine and beer at pub prices, and a flushing WC or two. We have always had top class guests who were lively and all of whom joined in singing the choruses,
Below is also a link to a couple of videos on YouTube of us singing in this the ship, if you want to take a look and have a listen. The ship is currently in dry dock undergoing hull maintenance, and you can reach it by going to London Bridge Underground station, and from there it's five minute walk walk through Borough Market.
And, by the way, when it was first built, this ship sailed from Devon to San Francisco, and from there onto Japan, where is starred in the original film production of Shogun
