Falmouth was packed with people enjoying voices raised in song as the town hosted the tenth International Sea Shanty Festival.
This year saw 39 groups over 20 venues spread through the town, with packed venues out as far as the Pandora Inn at Restronguet hosting groups from as far afield as Holland.
Over the past decade the festival has raised more than £30,000 for the RNLI.
