Overview
We came across this musical act on Facebook on 28 Nov 2025. It is difficult to understand the category of this act as it calls itself a “choir” but in its introduction it also states, “Welcome to the Salty Sea Dog’s page,” but then references the website of a solo performer. They also refer to themself as “Scotland’s Shanty Queen”. Based on the solo performer website, then:
Joss Cameron is a Scottish folk singer, and has a long professional career behind her. Starting off her career as a nightclub singer in 1988 in the Costa del Sol, and a soloist with the Gibraltar Choral Society. Joss initially studied classical music under her mentor, Maestro Hector Placido Cortes.
‘Joss Cameron…one of Scotland’s best loved traditional performers. She also happens to be one of the country’s foremost sea shanty teachers and is a passionate collector of these historic songs for future generations.’
– Robson Green
The website also references “The Salty Scrimshaws” but it is unclear if this is yet another name for the same musical act or is another, separate musical act. We hope to gain clarification soon.
