Hamilton roads haven't gotten any smoother😂😂😂

We had this recorded accidentally on a VHS tape from one of the premium cable movie channels back in the mid/late 80s and I have never forgotten how much it made us laugh. Thank you very much for posting this and bringing back such a wonderful memory.

I remember seeing you at Horsham folk club, West Sussex, United Kingdom about 12 years ago. You are are an amazing duo, so much energy in the music Hope you're still performing.

in all seriousness, I've regaled this video for at least forty years and this is the first time I've been able to revisit it since the first time I watched it way back when. I don't even recall where or when but it made an impact. It didn't change my life or anything that dramatic but it was the source of many a laugh and much entertainment, and after only one viewing. That is a job well done. Good on you mate

I must have seen this originally on TV at around 3:00 in the morning back when I was in my teens. This is the only reference I've seen since then. Thank god for you sir. Thank god that you're here to remind me, nay, remind us ALL of the important role the Ontario Film board play in the war for the moral soul of not just the folks in Ontario and Canada, but for us all. God bless you sir, god bless you

why does it shake so much?

Sounds good dam just beaten to HELL

Beautiful Wolseley. Look after it.

There have been 10,000 ships sunk in the Great Lakes. One hundred and sixty in Lake Huron in one storm. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a White Squall, hasn't spent much time on or near the Great Lakes.

thats my great,great grandfathers ship

My great grandfather, James Fox, and all others on board, perished by drowning when the J.H. Jones went down in 1906

The wreck has been found

They found the wreck of the J H Jones this year (2018)

Beautiful. Ken Theriot also does a gorgeous version of this. I think he posts under Raven Boy Music.

This is the song that made me a Stan Rogers fan. After hearing this one time I had to go find all his records.

RIP

I believe it. I have seen a blue norther on land that was just as explosive.

Wtf

How can anyone vote a song like this down? Great (& sad) story, strong music, and such a wonderful voice.

Gordon, spring looks a little cold:) Sweet drive. Michel

Cheyenne, could you tell me more about the Sightlines 10 textbook, because I'd like to try to find a copy? Publisher or authors or at least copyright date.If you didn't already know,there are scenic caves on the Eastern Shore of the Bruce Penninsula, not far from Wiarton, that are a little off the beaten track, but worth going to see if you're in that general area.

Very nice Gord! Now the whole world knows where you live... :D

...the model builder was extrememly talented...I shot it over about a month...just stopped in every few days.... The music was written by the chap who did the music for the show....

That's amazing :) I'm just starting to construct model boxs for set though not as complex :( How long did it take to complete?

Slow down...you're speeding

....just wait till i take you for a ride down Abino Rd......

hahahaha....that was quite awhile ago... it hadn't been tuned ...everything was noisy....(its a tad quieter now, but still pretty sporty).... Much more civilized, and faster then it was here..... (must do something about the microphone and wind......)

Wow! What a rush! That baby has quite the sound...nice :)

Wonderful story teller. Too soon lost to us.

Same here! Who thought English class would be good for something, eh? Haha :P

This song is in my sightlines 10 textbook and I had to do a essay about it. I decided to look it up and I now have my new favourite song! :D

....thank you....I just shot the vid.... the builder was fabulous....

Your video is wonderful. I make miniature roomboxes. Your work is somewhat similar to mine. My video is "making a miniature room" Great stuff.

THIS SONG GIVES ME CHILLS EVERY TIME I HEAR IT --SUCH DRAMA IN STANS VOICE

@drbob3 A White Squall, an anomoly, no one has actually ever seen one. Even the knockdown that the Albatross(movie White Squall), suffered in the Gulf of Mexico was most probably not a White Squall per say. Her sinking was probably incorrectly potrayed in the film. She was gone in under a minute. Suggesting she opened up down the middle due to the removal of structural bulkheads to accomodate more living space in a previous refit by Capt. Sheldon.

@sinjin480 ummm im pretty sure all i said was hi.....

@gbmgtd and the LP is even better :)

@Moonchalice I'd assumed that someone just figured the song would go well with the images of the disaster, even though they don't describe the same event.

please, what's the name of this song and artist? Great mood!

so powerfull

@drbob....yes, I think you're right. Perhaps it's possible that the sinking of the JH Jones was inspiration for this song. But the song is absolutely about the " old-timer"on the deck watching the loss of the "youngster". It's a tragic and beautiful song. I love the way he describes the ship (like a great dog, she shook herself)....and the storm (so fast it seems enchanted).

what an excellent shanty...thank you Stan for your poetry

This looks like portuguese folk :D

Looking good gblawson :) -Indy (Wolseley Forum)

dude i had to do this song for a poem in english but my grandma used to play this song all the time when i was little! I REMEBER IT HAHAHAH sorry i feel awesome right now

Man I'm glad I ran across Rogers online. He should be more well known.

I agree Sinjin. One of my favourites of Stan Rogers' songs, who is one of my favourites.

@devin2482 I understand your opinion, though disagree strongly. But if this music is not something you enjoy then I must ask, why do you have to comment? A decent debate is more acceptable, but a plain insult makes no sense, and makes you look like an ass. (no offence intended). But that aside, in my opinion this is great. One of Stan's best.

i have to do this for a school assignment this shit is anoying as hell

So uplifting! ;)
