So, I got in a bit too early with this week’s #ThursdayFiveList theme, #The5Ws, and got the wrong end of the stick... we're supposed to answer the questions Who, What, When, Where, and Why, detective style.

That's my cue to try again. Let's find out what we must be investigating...

Who
Tri Yann - Tri Martolod
youtube.com/watch?v=V-gcngrkwT
Tri Yann's recording of Alan Stivell's arrangement of this Breton song about three sailors going to Canada and meeting a pretty young lady definitely feels like it has a lot more, significantly lewder, verses, that only get trotted out after more cider has been drunk.
Lyrics + translation in wikihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri_Martolod

What
Blackbeard's Tea Party - Whip Jamboree
blackbeardsteaparty.bandcamp.c
Possibly the most technically accomplished performance here, among some strong recordings, Blackbear's Tea Party do some fascinating with this shanty standard. It seems to have entered the British canon of cotton screwing sea shanties via African-American work songs.
Lyrics (trad): sailorsongs.com/whup_jamboree.

When
Ye Banished Privateers - When ye Dead Come Sailing Home Again
yebanishedprivateers.bandcamp.
A ghostly 15 minute pirate folk take on When Johnny Comes Marching Home

Where
Gothica - The Land Under The Waves
youtube.com/watch?v=hKXHxKlVU9
Get your obscure Italian neoclassical darkwave here. I adore this album.

Why
Alestorm - Under Blackened Banners
youtube.com/watch?v=nEQ_kV428A
Lyrics: genius.com/Alestorm-under-blac
"Raise your hook
Raise your sword
Fight the world and face the horde
We're the brotherhood of pirates
We’re the sisters of the sea
Sailing under blackened banners
Stealing ships and getting hammered
The destiny of piracy
Belongs to you and me"
