Shanty singers at heart. The Blankenberge shanty choir was founded in early 2000 and started with a first performance during Sail Blankenberge. It was the first Belgian choir of its kind. It currently consists of 40 members, decked out in the typical sailor's uniform of the fishing people on the Flemish coast. The only female member is the conductor. In addition to the traditionals, the Blankenberge shanty choir performs the typical Flemish sea shanties from the illustrious Icelandic trade.
