Great song and vintage footage of the schooner Blue Nose.

Okay. I just spent the last 2 hours watching sailing movies. Guess its as good as anything on a cold windy day.

The Bluenose II is actually undergoing a "reconstruction" right now in Lunenberg. They really are building a new boat but it is fascinating regardless.

Nice, outstanding vessel. I recall going aboard the replica in Nova Scotia years ago. Bluenose is a proud part of their heritage still today.
Stan Rogers was one of my favorites, may he rest in peace

Me, too, especially "Northwest Passage", "The Mary Ellen Carter", and, of course, "Barrett's Privateers".

If you like the music of Stan Rogers check out his brother Garnet who played bass on those recordings and is still recording and touring North America.

I always thought that "Mary Ellen Carter" was one of his best.
