Capstan shanties were used to coordinate the efforts of seamen during 'heaving' activities. They are named after the capstan on a vessel, a revolving winch with a vertical axis and side spars for pushing. Capstan and 'heaving' songs tended to be used over a longer period of work, because the arduous task of pushing the capstan could often take a whole day and was continuous and intensive.
A “Yeller Girl” is an old sailors' slang term referring to any dark skinned woman.
Callao is an old port city (1537 founding date) of mid-coast Peru, close to Lima.
