What's your favourite part of the North Stars history? Anything you find particularly interesting?
Growing up in Victoria, I was well aware of the North Star. I grew up in James Bay and spent many years living on a boat at and adjacent to Fishermans Warf. We knew the family (owners) of North Star well... I hung out with their kids. Was only ever on board a handful of times however.
I remember the stories and thinking how amazing it would have been up North on that vessel.
I am so stoked to see this happening. Would love to come and see her during the rebuild process. Also pretty excited to see another major restoration of a historic wooden vessel hit the CZcamss. Tally Ho is in th water now and I need my West Coast old boat restoration fix.
@@GregBird She's a fantastic vessel, you're welcome to come to Shelter Island for a tour :)
@FavouriteBoatworks thanks! I might just have to take you up on that offer some day.
I was the foster daughter I miss her so much it was an amazing experience living on something so beautiful
She’s a beautiful boat, it was must’ve been such an adventurous upbringing living on her
It would be cool if u could be part of one of the episodes!
Wonderful, and love the sound Lyle Franklin.
Thanks for sharing the backstory and looking forward to the refit process 🤙
Glad you like it!
Amazing. Looks great! Excited for more!!
Thank you! 😃
I first saw the North Star on the bank of the Mackenzie River at Inuvik, where I was working, in 1970. Next in the inner harbour of Victoria, BC, where I live. Quite a surprise! Glad to know a little more of her history.
Wow that’s cool! What kind of work were you doing in Inuvik?
@@FavouriteBoatworks I was working for Northern Transportation. They run barges up and down the river.
Love the videos and the history behind the boat fantastic workers 👁️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
As a fellow restorer of an old boat, I'm looking forward to seeing this project begin.
What kind of boats have you restored? :D
@@FavouriteBoatworks I'm restoring a 1962 wooden Tahiti Ketch named Maverick. She's the first boat I've ever owned or worked on.
Oh very nice, I’m sure you’re enjoying the process
@FavouriteBoatworks The boat work is nothing but fun, even when going gets rough. The filming and video editing, on the other hand... That's been a steep learning curve.
Awesome! Great history.
Such a great story!
It’s a fascinating one!
Great to hear and see Quill in the series !
I've done my fair share of work on old wooden hulls and you folks have a massive job ahead of you. Also a massive opportunity to bring back a real piece of Canadian history.
What kinds of boats have you worked on? :) Its a massive job!
@@FavouriteBoatworks My favorite job was the 1953 Chris Craft power launch. The mahogany planked hull was in great shape but the top sides were shot. Total cabin rebuild. Then there was the 1903 deep keel sail boat my boss brought over from England. That one was a rebuild from the water line down. I'll never forget the day the shop foreman dropped the lead keel on his leg. An anchor bot opened his leg up like a zipper.
So neat! What a beautiful timeline ✨
Right! 🚢
How interesting 👍🏼
Right! She’s got a fascinating history
Good to see the North Star in good hands
😌
Wow, the arrogance of Pedersen and company at doubting the Indigenous fur traders’ ability to commission a ship such as The North Star of Hershel Island. This ship illustrates the economic savvy and entrepreneurship of us, we the Indigenous peoples of this nation of nation known as Canada.
👍!!!
What a sad world it has become when we have to give warnings about animal pelts etc.
We like to be careful to let people know when displaying images of endangered animals :)
Just have to add climate change to every story
Not much of a "Tallship"
You had me until you said climate change.
“Before climate change”….lost me after that garbage
Climate change....🤣
Herschel Island where North Star was working is actually one of the islands that is heavily affected by rising sea levels and tawing permafrost, the island is disappearing at a high pace unfortunately.

Bud you had me till you claimed climate change…the crisis is not climate it is stupidity
Are you seriously arguing against the fact that the ice pack in the arctic has drastically declined in the last decades? Herschel Island, North Stars home port, is one of the most affected islands in the world by rising sea levels.
