@@shannondawn44 I'm 65 now, so hardly young. LOL. My grandfather was a stevedore in Halifax from the 1930s to 50s. Before that he worked the banana boats, freighters from Halifax to the Caribbeans. He owned a small boat for puttering around Halifax harbour. It had a make and break one lunger. My dad told me stories about some of the trips he took. Pretty amazing stuff. . .

Cannot listen to this song without a tear coming to my eye.
Beautiful... Newfoundlander here...
Very fitting video for one of Stan's best.
Great song, great artist, & great Video.!
The pictures told the story as well as Stan Rogers did. Nice job.
So sad that so many old traditions are gone, among them the small coastal fishing fleets powered by the sturdy old make and break.
