Revision 1

Good Morning Ladies is one of the traditional sea shanties included on the official Windrose Original Soundtrack. A traditional shanty included on the Windrose OST. A version by Sean Dagher previously appeared on the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag soundtrack, making this one of the direct bridges between the two games' shanty cultures.

On the Soundtrack

The track appears on the Windrose: Original Soundtrack (Steam App 4564200), released alongside the April 14, 2026 Early Access launch. Vocals are performed by Sean Dagher, the same shantyman who recorded the sea shanties for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Arrangements are by the Kraken Express audio team.

Origin

The traditional "Good Morning Ladies" is a shanty that greets the morning crew or departing port with a light, cheerful tone. Folk-music sources classify different versions variously as pumping, capstan, or halyard shanties; it is one of several versatile multi-job songs in the tradition. Its exact origin is not firmly attributed, but the form appears across multiple 19th-century sailing traditions.

In-Game

Triggered at the ship's helm by pressing B while under sail. NPC crew members on deck join the vocals while you steer between islands. Shanties pause when combat begins (naval cannons take priority) and resume once the engagement ends.

Notes

• Sean Dagher, Nils Brown, and Michiel Schrey recorded a version for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag; the Windrose OST version is a fresh Kraken Express arrangement.

• Because of the AC IV connection, "Good Morning Ladies" is frequently cited by players who made the Windrose-to-AC IV comparison in launch-week coverage.
