Album of famous British Sea Songs in rousing style and good humour, arranged for piano. Includes brief notes about the origins of each song.

British composer (William) Heller Nicholls (1874-1939) was born in Derbyshire, but latterly lived in Gloucestershire, and was a music master at Dean Close School near Cheltenham. One of his pupils there was the poet James Elroy Flecker. Nicholls was a prolific arranger, and writer of educational music, but also wrote light opera and orchestral music.
