Haul Away Joe

[WolfgirlIsabella]

who is joe and why are you hauling him away XD

[J0EYC1O]

@WolfgirlIsabella im joe dur



[MrRizikoo]

Then you would yank your hart out, now they will yank your heart out.

...............

[ubergoofball]

I know they're saying 'tell me'… but it sounds like they're saying 'TIMMAY!'

[JTB1956]

@ubergoofball It's "To Me", as in haul the line...South Park references both define and set our cultural standards....Abandon hope all ye who enter here....

[coyoteshark]

Got Yar? Here it Be........

[steverblock]

Haul away Joe?...more like haul away Jack!! ;0)

[JTB1956]

I recognize some of these heroes,Confederate ,Adm. Raphael Semmes at 1;09, CSA Marines at 1;30.(.Possibly on the Alabama or Shenandoah?), and CSS Virginia at 1;47. And yes, this shantey predates some of these images. ..makes no difference...That's what it means to be timeless.

[gallifreyfarm]

Great images

[razoredge45]

great version thanks

[TheSpaceMost]

Thanks for the upload my grandfather sang this!



[gpecaut1]

These shanies are much older than the Civil war. They are fron the wind jamming days, the mid 1800's saw the end of wind jamming and the beginning of steam power. These shanties were used to keep time while hauling on braces, brales, sheets and halyards. These are from the days when ships were made of wood, and men were made of iron.

[willybillysilly1]

First I met a Yankee girl and she was fat and lazy...

[Noremorse10]

This is so amazing. How can you not like this?

[Tschardash]

great song :)

[squashballferg]

anyone got the score for this?

[DICKORINA]

awesome good the best

[42whatelse]

I like it and love it. So I was nicely think, they would also sing a sea shanty as I would imagine in during in the American Civil War. And along with Jules Verne time.

[ubergoofball]

i love shanties, and i love this shanty. but i can't help but to think of south park when listening to this song. when he says "tell me", it sounds like he's saying 'TIMMY!"

[asmorrey1]

@ubergoofball haha i noticed this when i first listened to it. Cracks me up every time!

[2manynegativewaves]

@squirrelrides Does it really matter, The Royal Navy and the US Navy have been on the same side since 1814 :) (Dont forget,John Paul Jones was a Scotsmen born and bred :) )

[M40]

the USN-USMC team is the most agile force on todays seas and has been since the Battle of Nassau 1776

just bomb the beaches, we'll assault

[McGrenzer]

Great pictures  Go Navy

[PeterGriffnbump]

hmm when i was in the 4th grade we sang this song in music class. yep 4th seems like yesterday. when its actually 9 years ago :( i actually miss it

[Briselance]

01:06 : Black sailor ? I thought the military was segregated in that time ?

[fishsama999]

@Briselance Not the Navy. Granted, different tasks were allotted depending on race. Usually black sailors would be given kitchen duties and the like, but I think it could depend on the captain.

[McGrenzer]

@Briselance Not so, Briselance! There were blacks on navy ships at least as early as the American Revolution and by the War of 1812, some even held the responsible rank of gunner, I believe.  There were seldom enough qualified seamen to fill a ship's crew, so recruits were often enlisted regardless of race or nationality. What mattered most, even then, was the individual's ability.

[Tigerwolf890]

i love old songs X3

[007boyof011]

at 110 the man seated is Raphael Semmes of the CSS Alabama a true naval hero and at 133 is the Confederate States Marine Corps.

[MrCheesedogim]

britania rules the waves!

[USMC444817]

OOORAH!

[ThePinkZeppe]

they don't make 'em like that anymore!

[bk206]

Timmy!!

[007boyof011]

@bk206 he is saying to me

[DaKidnc910]

i sung this song in chrior hell yeah

[Alejounoloco]

Tommy Makem, GOD BLESS YA AN KEEP YA, AN FOREVER HOLD YA IN THA PALM OF HIS HAN!!!!

[therealdcsniper]

does anyone know who this is performing?

[mfb25890]

@therealdcsniper It's exactly how The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem perform it, so I'd assume it's their rendition.

[rexlibris99]

It is them.

[10thnametried]

Yes it is The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem and a rare appearance of Timmy from South Park ( you can just hear him in verses)

[Soldat80]

Those were the days...

[587seachef]

god bless the MERCNT MARINE avast ye lubbers

[TheJasleen]

king louie got his head cut off!

[stevevandien]

Powerful and moving. And the pix remind us about the sheer physical labor that sailoring required in those days --

[JillyBoan]

i'm singing this in music class

[TheJasleen]

me too

[zoodles2531]

my teacher made me sing this in music class xD

[bolt449]

OMG THIS WAS IN MUSIC CLASS!

[TheJasleen]

yes it was!

[dremoraman1]

mp3 for this?

[islingtonlad]

still after near a thousand years at sea, no one can compare to the might of the british Royal Navy.

[pml08usaf]

That could be disputed.

[50TNCSA]

so the constitution beating a good many royal frigates was just a lie oh no

[walls0stone]

"Beat you British twice as I recalect"

:)

what's the point of beating a small force :)

[BinLadenMustDie368]

what u mean twice...

the in the war of 1812 you can damn wiki it!

they burnt are capital... they took some of east coast cities...

they repelled us on ALL attempts to invade Canada... even though the war was a sideshow to the Napoleonic Wars!

Hell they were just tired of fighting and the reasons for even fighting had disappeared! but KNOW THIS!

if they had decided to continue we would have lost and the Union would have fallen apart... with some states going back to British control!

[BinLadenMustDie368]

So i think we should all be a little thankful that the British felt the way they did and decided to put an end to the fighting...

[walls0stone]

I don't know it would have been that simple. but it could have gone ether way. All it takes to turn a war can be a single jumpy picket I.e Jackson.

[SludgeSlinger]

No. If they had decided to really try to take the States I think they would have failed. The Union may have been lost, and another government formed, but they would have lost again I think. It was a long way to project that kind of power and the US populace hadnt gotten involved.

[MACLEA1987]

@islingtonlad USS Nimitz class carriers enough said ;)

[junkerdunk]

@MACLEA1987 indeed. The US has over 5 times the deckspace and capability in naval airpower as the rest of the world combined.

[hawkmoon03111951]

@islingtonlad Let's get real. We were a great power. Now, although our individual servicemen can compare with anyone, we have neither the manpower, equipment or money to compete with the big nations. We'd still have a go though.

[chuckneworleans]

@islingtonlad

The US Navy is the strongest in the world. The Reagan is the size of a medium sized city.

[Fireheart528]

@chuckneworleans The USS Reagan is a medium sized city--on water, nae doubt!

[CajunCommie]

@chuckneworleans thats great and all but id like to be able to see a doctor when im sick, or go to school even

but hey have fun with your big rubber ducky blowing up people armed with assault rifles as old as my grandfather

[amerikai]

@islingtonlad US Navy is now much much stronger than the Royal Navy, they dont even have any aircraft carriers

[asmorrey1]

@amerikai well that's just wrong. You have your Nimitz class aircraft carriers and we have the Invincible class. We also have two more under construction at the moment. I'm not trying to start a 'who has a better navy' because the USA outmatch us in size, that much is obvious. But yeah... we do have an aircraft carrier.

[Fireheart528]

@asmorrey1 I know ya'll have carriers, but would you ever want to put to sea on an Iowa or Missouri class battleship? Aside from the Yamato, Bismarck, and HMS Hood, the Iowa and Missouri class battleships were the finest battleships ever built. R.I.P. to all who fought in WWII and to Taffy 3, especially those on the Samuel B. Roberts and the USS Johnston, the ships who turned the tide of the war against the Imperial Japanese Navy's Center Force.

[IsThisSumBattleToads]

@islingtonlad

Had it not been for the domination of the seas by my ancestors, the vikings over a thousand years earlier, the British would probably still be trying to make a trans-Atlantic voyage in a canoe.

[seaninferno1]

@islingtonlad in 17th century british navy might was below dutch navy might and in later centuries you always had problems with the french

[Soldat80]

"The good ship now is rolling! ..."

[Alejounoloco]

Erin Go Bragh and God keep all who have, will, and do sail any and all the worlds oceans and seas.

[sssuubbb]

HAULLL AWAY JOE

[rakamora]

ya dont say

[NiDrako]

When the USS Franklin was damaged in WWII, the crew used chanteys to set a rythem for pulling the tow ropes over the deck of the carrier. The chaplain describes it in his book "I was Chaplain on the Franklin."

[beamaudio]

These pics are incredible!! Makes me onder where did you find such rarities as these?? Thank you sooo much. Always wanted to know what life was like on the ships in that era

[sssuubbb]

for all the marines allover the world

[Soldat80]

Unthinkable these folks are all dead by now...

[walls0stone]

the pics are from the Civil war mostly.. so they all been gone some time.

[Soldat80]

@ Hawk

Yeah, a bloody shame. - But ships are to big nowadays. They simply wouldn't hear each other, if they not gather up...

[casja2222]

'Tis from the album CB&TM Reunion concert released in 1989

[orckiller91]

sad how only liam is still with us

[rexlibris99]

They're all still with us.

You just have to listen....

[md278]

@rexlibris99 nice :)

[helmuthoorn]

Makes you feel wanting to round the Horn aboard of the ''Stag Hound'', the ''Flying Cloud'', the ''Cutty Sark'', or the Dutch queens of the seas from those days; ''Kosmopoliet'', ''Thorbecke'', '

'California'', ''Staveren''.

[rmm413c]

I've always thought that this is one of Tom Clancy's best songs. I don't think I've heard this version before. What album is it from? The version I have was not recorded live. I like this one better.

The pictures are nice too.

[Hoot1SFD]

Semper Fi, rexlib. Two good friends of mine are Marines, and all my prayers go out to them and all who serve.

Great job.

[thosuncree]

Huzzah!

[sKEtLeZz]

Me and my class mates haft to sing this song in music and it is a great song!

[Hawk88568]

it is too bad sailors dont sing like this anymore

[MotherRaksha]

hey now, i was at a maritime fest just last weekend and there were about 75 sailors singing this song (among others)! If you live near water there is a maritime community, it might just be a little bit hard to find. They're usually more in ports with Tall Ships - yachties are too modern for shanties.

[bidiox91x]

Anybody know who's performing this? Sounds like Ronnie Drew

[rexlibris99]

The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem

[Jabberwocky010]

@bidiox91x derp

[Comerford1986]

@bidiox91x its the clancy brothers and tommy makem, tom clancy's singin the verses and sounds in NO way like ronnie drew!!!

[CANNIBALEX]

@bidiox91x it doesnt really sound like ronnie at all.

[ameleeeq]

In Poland we have other version of Haul away, but both are great : D

[Blademistrz]

masz rację

[Sinrman68]

Gung Ho and Semper Fi any of you big ball saking Marines

[Soldat80]

So much enregy. Shanties are uncompared in thid discipline... Sail the seas, that what they're there for, mates...

[piro6220]

this song was sung by royal navy during the early 19th following it disapproval of the french revolution. in fact the US were big supporter of the french revolutionary Government since it was the french that really defeat the Brits at the battle of Yorktown

[ajferet]

Not so.. U.S. public and elite opinions were deeply divided as to whom to support during the Napoleonic Wars, and fought an undeclared war with Revolutionary France (the Quasi War) before fighting a Declared with Britain (The War of 1812)... Some Americans were upset with the execution of the hapless Louis, some were happy... etc.. Also, some were unhappy with the invasion of Holland (also an important U.S. ally)

[rrvb]

You are correct. It was the French monarchy that supported the US during the Revolutionary war so they could not officially lend any aid nor be seen to support the French revolution. However I think it can be safely said that ,ideologically speaking, a great many of the early American statesmen agreed with the sentiments of the French revolutionaries.

[ajferet]

Yes, but it was strictly divided by Federalist/ anti-Federalist lines. Jefferson supported it, but Adams did not... Generally divided by political lines, but also by who was the most radical in personality... T.J. also reacted with deep alarm to Bonaparte and the slave rebellion in Haiti...

[Liam987hebbo]

Love this song. I sing it with my four young sons and have done for years. It is British!!

[JMD0429]

In case anyone is wondering the music is the Clancy Brothers (famous Irish folk musicians).

Great pictures and music.

[waterloo2you]

In reality sea shanties like Haul Away Joe were forbidden on warships of the U.S. Navy, even in the days of sail. Shanties were only sung on commercial vessels.

Herman Melville complained bitterly about this restriction in his book "White Jacket" which chronicles the time he served on the USS United States in the 1840s.

[bosnmate820]

The American Navy didn't ban the use of Sea Shanties (Chanties) during the 1960's! My deck crew used them to haul in the mooring lines and high lines on many occasions. Even the Captain liked to watch us work to the sounds of the old days

[FunmasterBob]

Here was me thinking this was a British sea shanty...

[orckiller91]

Irish actualy

[FunmasterBob]

Irish didnt really ever have a navy, and was part of Britain in that period, I believe.

[rexlibris99]

There were quite a few Irishmen in the US navy.

[Cyclonus5]

aye there were a lot of Irish in the U.S. Navy, and just because it was forbidden doesn't mean there wasn't a good shanty in the foc'sle

[fooz125]

realy they used this song to haul up the boom it wasnt forbidden at all ya could sing with this song iv been on qite a few tallships and we used this song alot or capecod girls to haul up the sails

[Cyclonus5]

merchant ships definatly but military ships often had either specific working shanties or forbade shanties altogether, though it did depend on the captain. Thats my understanding at least.

[ajferet]

And the Royal Navy too...

[sailorette1]

This is great! One of the best renditions of

I have waited years to see something like this video, and I am sure I am not alone.

Some of the ship and crews there are the Hartford, the Miami, the Monitor, the Alabama, the Pawnee and the Kearsarge.

Thank you, rexlibris99!

[MonetteBooks]

Excellent!

[rossraff1968]

MUA here ta stay !

[WWII4444]

It could use more pic of monitors

[sensei48]

Lead vocal is Tommy Clancy, d. 1990. Paddy Cl;ancy passed away in 1998, and Tommy Makem last August 2007. Only Liam is left. But what a body of music they left behind! Fine job with the video!

[HaulAwayJoe]

yesssssssss

[bondie45]

true clancys brilliant thanks for uploading
