    The Esso Northumbria was an enormous oil tanker built at Wallsend by state commission to carry crude oil from the Persian Gulf around Africa to Britain in response to the Suez Crisis and Egypt denying British ships access to the Suez Canal. Her design was effectively a scaled-up version of existing designs, which introduced a number of unforeseen structural problems as she was at the time the largest ship ever constructed in Britain. She was also constructed on a tight budget to a fixed-price contract, and there were major cut corners in her construction.
    The story told in the song, of an oil spill and fire at sea, never actually happened. However, the Northumbria required frequent repairs and only served for 12 years before being retired due to fears of a minor spill. She was broken up in Taiwan starting in 1982, followed by her Sister ship Hibernia not long after.

      @@Kaiserboo1871 Then why does the lyrics say "she was the _tanker_ to outsize them all"? And mention hauling "the black tar?" Not to mention that there was a tanker named "Esso Northumbria" that was built at Tyneside and was decommissioned after only 12 years due to technical issues and stress cracks in the hull. Unlike the song it wasn't involved in any oil spills, but the fear of it and ongoing technical issues made the owners retire it relatively quickly anyway.

    The lyrics if you want them (I just copy and pasted from google):
    'Twas late '65 at the old Wallsea Yard
    Where she was commissioned to haul the black tar
    We built the Northumbria there on the bar
    Roll Northumbria, roll
    For when the Egyptians they closed the Red Sea
    The call came on high from the powers that be
    To build a royal monster right down the quay
    Roll Northumbria roll, me boys
    Roll Northumbria, roll
    Carpathia
    Vengeance
    Celestial call
    She was the tanker to outsize 'em all
    From the banks of the Mersey
    To the port of Hulal
    Roll Northumbria, roll
    And fair princess Anne threw a bottle of wine
    And watched as the giant set down in the Tyne
    What lay ahead could no mortal divine
    Roll Northumbria roll, me boys
    Roll Northumbria, roll
    And it's one for the hot sun above
    Two for the empire we love
    And it's three for the fire that burns down below
    Roll on Northumbria
    Roll Northumbria, roll
    So come all you good workman
    Beware the command
    That comes down on high from the desk of a man
    Who's never held steel or torch in his hands
    Roll Northumbria, roll
    For atop a wild breaker the cracks in her frame
    Spilled her black guts all across the wild main
    She limped away through an ocean of flame
    Roll Northumbria roll, me boys
    Roll Northumbria, roll
    And it's one for the hot sun above
    Two for the empire we love
    And it's three for the fire that burns down below
    Roll on Northumbria
    Roll Northumbria, Roll

      @WhitzWolf92 2 роки тому +9

      Funny, that's the opposite sort of environment from where shanties originated. They were originally devised as a way to keep sailors (and other work crews) motivated and in-step (when that mattered). Nowadays, of course, the term evolved to encompass a far wider variety. 'Roll Northumbria' is a great example of that broadening, given how slow and chill it is (at least, as performed by the Dreadnaughts - Colm might hit us with a curveball and crank up the tempo) compared to something like 'Drunken Sailor' or 'Fish in the Sea'.

    Built in 1969, The Esso Northumbria was once the largest oil tanker in the world with a beam of 170'. She truly was a royal monster.

    As my tastes have been narrowing, you are still on my playlist. Right next to my heavy, thrash, doom, and glam metal. And a few classic country songs, lol

    I'd initially heard of the Northumbria from a sci-fi story, one of those "Humans, fuck yeah" things. I thought (and still do) that story was great, but I didn't realize it was based on a real story, a real ship.
    Your version of this song is fantastic. Keep up the great work.

    Yes! I was hoping you would do this one! Wahoo! As an aside, take a listen to Patty Gurdy's The Yule Fiddler for a possible Christmas song; would highlight your vocal and musical talents.

    I did *not* expect your voice to hit so hard, the energy of it knocked me off my feet. I love the original and I might love this one even more. Thank you for doing such a good job on this.

    I just saw that you did this and my heart dropped, I love this song! This is my alarm, ringtone and I regularly listen to it on loop for hours. All I can say, that I love your cover of it equally. ♥

    Roll Northumbria is a modern sea shanty that paints a melancholic yet defiant picture of a fading empire. Written by the Canadian folk-punk band The Dreadnoughts and released in 2019 on their album "Into the North", the song quickly resonated with fans. Its evocative lyrics, haunting melody, and themes of loss resonate with a feeling of decline and societal upheaval. Though inspired by the Esso Northumbria tanker, the song has been adopted by online communities as an anthem of defiance and change.
