AB Travel writing is characterized by a narrative discourse that describes landscapes,transforms adventure into a mythical journey and reveals the fears of humankind. Thesea gathers momentum when the protagonists overcome the fear of death. However,the significance of the tune of sea songs has not been adequately highlighted, beingrelegated as side special effects that embellish the narration. The aim of this paperis to analyze the symbolical element of the songs to foreground its function in seatravel writing in the English and American fiction from the 18th to the 21st centuryaccounts, and their symbolic implication.
