Stan Rogers - Bluenose video free download

Shell Trek

A bit of N.S. Nostalgic, attempting to survive! It symbolizes a vessel that was the top-of-the-line, when it came to speed & endurance.

I saw around the Bluenose II in early August 2003 on a visit to Halifax, N.S., I'd just started listening to Stan's music through visits to my local live music club where his songs were, and are, popular. Stan's very well known over here in the UK, particularly in the NE where I live. Bluenose II shouldn't have been in port that day, but she had been unable to sail due to really awful weather. On the quayside was a shop where I picked up a copy of Stan's CD 'Home in Halifax'.The CD is still a favourite, but how sad to read that Bluenose II hasn't been under sail due to regulations. Thanks for sharing info and memories of her.

this really reminds me of jethro tull for some reason

I find it a great irony that Stan states that the Bluenose is "what every schoolboy remembers" but nowadays you will hardly find a student who even knows the name, nonetheless the story behind her. We are now too busy teaching about why the white man is evil and how great precolonial Africa is to be bothered with such petty things as Canadian history and culture. It is an unfortunate byproduct of multiculturalism that our history is now nearly entirely (and perhaps even deliberately) forgotten within the younger generations (and perhaps forever) in favour of that of the allegedly glorious history of the 3rd world. Still a great song that brings up many great memories of our nations heritage.

Even if I'm German, this song touches me deeply in my heart!! I've lived some Time in Nova Scotia and truely understand what the Bluenose means to the Maritimers.Love this Song!!!

another great song you should check out is "Dogtown" by Harry Chapin about the Gloucester fisherman.... excellent

The fiddles sound like gulls! This is great!

Kiss't er bowsprit while she rested in Halifax harbour, in the 70's ,.then again, years later, after she emerged from the mists off Vancouver Island...though this melancholic song reminds of Bounty, also born in Lunenburg, now lost at sea with skipper.

Can we make this the alternate national anthem? After all she IS on the dime. We deserve something to be proud of - something made by Canadian hands, and a part of Canada's great maritime history. As a people, we are so often heard lamenting our nation's woes. Part of it is our self-effacing national identity, such as it is, but it would be nice to have a song sung by every schoolchild in the country that instills pride in them, and our country.

Man! Garnett sure is doing some nice stuff with that viola. Reminds me of his work on Three Fishers. Anybody got an idea of how fast these schooners could go?

There should be a movie. The end of the era of sail, men who followed a tradition of sailing, an underdog. One last glory for a fading way. There's a great story in there I'll bet.

Jack Cunningham

Proud to be a bluenoser but It's sad to see he bluenose II all locked up because of stupid rudder regulations the original didn't need a massive Steele rudder and look what she accomplished. fuck the new regulations and make her how she is meant to be made.

Just once more old girl....then you can rest

Richard Rogers

Bah... not a one of you I'd go to sea with. Ever.

This song brings to mind being on the deck of a ship as she sails with the wind, bow cutting through the waves. I've seen Bluenose II, and she is a beautiful ship!

Wow ... thanks for posting this!

The heartbreak of the loss of Stan is also felt, here, in England. Well, I'm only 18, so I obviously wasn't around for 1983, but I still receive great sadness whenever I remember Stan has passed. I'd have loved to have met him, or go to one of his concerts. Terrible loss and shame.

"Under Full Press" refers to unfurling and flying all the sails on the vessel so as to catch as much wind as possible. When you see pictures of schooners like the Bluenose and they are "laying hard over", they are "under full press". Usually, a ship was difficult to steer when under this condition, but it would go VERY fast. To say that a ship was "at her best under full press" is quite a statement, because it meant that it performed well under conditions that usually were very difficult...
