William Boultbee Whall (1846 – 1917) was a master mariner, who compiled one of the first collections of English sea songs and shanties in 1910. He joined the Merchant Navy as a boy of 14 and learned the songs during 11 years aboard East Indiamen. In the foreword to his book he wrote that he thought the songs "worthy of preservation". In addition, Whall wrote a number of books about navigation and practical seamanship.
