Michael (Row The Boat Ashore) is a spiritual with deep historical roots, symbolizing hope, freedom, and salvation. The song was first documented during the Civil War (1860s) by abolitionist Charles Pickard Ware, who transcribed it while working with freed African-Americans on the Sea Islands of South Carolina. Its soulful melody, enriched with powerful Biblical imagery, has resonated well beyond its origins, becoming a cherished classic embraced by people worldwide.
