Stan Rogers - Bluenose

[vaughnsalem]

Canadians are the true peace makers of the world

[mirish59109]

We Canadians lost a great musical artist in Stan Rogers....Can you only imagine the music he would've written if he had've lived? What a shame he passed away the way he did....This music is haunting

[vatti902]

Yes the bluenose was built in Lunenburg my american friend. :) nice try tho.

[choptrees902]

to be able to combete in the race the vessles needed to spend a certain amount of time fishing the grandbanks 

[kirra77]

ZERO dislikes, that means the average idiot won`t click on this by accident. Next beer is on me Stan Rogers........

[mrtruculent]

If she was from Gloucester, why isn't Bluenose on the American dime?

[mapleguyedm]

@mrtruculent She competed in sea races against the boats from Gloucester, which weren't real working fishing vessels but just toys for the Gloucester boys.

[shogun412]

Being a Glouesterterman, I:m very proud of this song. Stan had such a wonderful way of writing his songs about the sea and the ships that sailed on her. The "Bluenose" was in fact from Gloucester but the song that really hits home for us would have to be "The Jeannie C." So many times in our history, this song has played out for so many going to sea never knowing of they're coming back or not.

@shogun412

how is the Bluenose from Gloucester?

[ArmouredPhalanx]

@shogun412

Yeeeah, not so much. The Bluenose was designed by William Roue, from Halifax, Nova Scotia. She was built and crewed in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. So, yeah, how is it from Gloucester again?

[jillgivler]

@ArmouredPhalanx No - he's comparing the Bluenose to "rich men's toys", or yachts, or "the Gloucester boys, with their token bit o cod" - meaning the Americans would never catch up with the Bluenose and her sisters and what they could bring home.

Feel her bow rise free of mother sea...

Stan Rogers, a truly wonderful and gifted musician. A powerful voice for a great man.

[canmoore]

@shadycat1 Canadians are a funny bunch. We have lots of amazing national treasues..but just like the fate of the bluenose, we turn our backs on them.

[rtogurl]

@canmoore So true! We are not near patriotic enough....I hear you:) We are far too passive.

[PrairieMcFox]

Stan Rogers had one awesome beard.

[judeyorke]

I love Stan, wish he were my family member.

The final generation of the Scottish 'zulu' fishing boats were arguably the most powerful British sailing craft of their size in any era. Their dipping lug rigs reached the technological boundaries of wood and cordage. But despite an ambitious start at restoration to the seaworthiness of their Fifie boat 'Reaper', once delivered to the Anstruther museum she was neglected to the point of now being an empty hull as central indoor display! This video link gives further links.

Proud to be Haligonian, and to have stood on this great ship's daughter.

[badnewsBH]

Thanks so much for putting this up. The video is great, the song is awesome, the man is a legend. Awesome.

[Englishhegemony]

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE UPLOAD GORDON LIGHTFOOT'S VERSION OF 'BLUENOSE'

“The wood of the vessel that will beat her is still growing.” ~ Angus Walters, captain of the Bluenose

One of Stan's best.

[Kineticmoleculartheo]

Lovely poetry embedded in a song

[Wuuhey]

Truly beautiful. His voice is amazing.

[Wuuhey]

Truly beautiful. His voice is amazing.

[somegalfromcan]

Stan Rogers is one of the people who make me proud to be Canadian!

[DesolatorMKX]

Stan Rogers is simply amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing Bluenose II this summer, its been to many years since I returned to the Maritimes.

[paintrboy]

@DesolatorMKX She's being rebuilt in Drydock down in Lunenburg..........won't be seaworthy till 2012.

[jessiewhisper]

his voice is unlike any other... I love it. There are no words to describe how his music makes me feel.

[grimmorrigan]

@mannalert Your English is better than that of many of my students. There is a documentary about Stan Roger's life. It is call "One Warm Line" it can be found here on youtube or on google video.

[MultiMetalWar]

i see the bluenose 2 all the time, it sails in and out of the harbor a lot in the summer.

[Prometevsberg]

@mannalert

do a google serch on videos for one warm line, and you will find a 45 minute documentary, that can also find in seperate parts on youtube

[daver852]

Did this man have a beautiful voice, or what?

[badnewsBH]

@daver852 Beautiful as I could ever imagine. :)

[flyinghighoverthesky]

I have to say this song has a very good melody.

[1helihog1]

I discovered Stan far to late! What an awesome artist!

[smeghead1851]

I saw Bluenose II under a press of canvas a few years ago on Chesapeake Bay. She and Pride of Baltimore II were going like scalded cats... and me out of film in the camera ! What sight they were.

[Squarekn0t]

@smeghead1851 Nothing like a fleet of Schooners off the line below the bridge heading for Norfolk, just came back from Downrigging in Chestertown and they bearly had room to turn around but impressive, and looking larger on a small river. The only thing left of my schooner is my dory.It sails well and I only used two gallons of gas all summer.RIP Capn'Lane Briggs

[brianl890]

Merry Christmas Stan

[brianl890]

"that stings the cheek while the rigging well speaks of sea miles gone away." God bless this man. Canadians are always best under "full press." All of us. God bless Stan Rogers.
