- A beautiful song about the lifeboat disaster in the Firth of Tay, Scotland in 1959, written by Peggy Seeger. This is a slightly updated version of the last version I had up here (I had to make changes to the titles). Hope you still enjoy it.

My great great great uncle is Ronnie Grant...my Nana was 11 when this happened 😔
When I listen to this song, I always have tears in my eyes. And I want to thank with all my heart to all the lifeboats crews all over the world. Fellow sailor, the very first sea wolf I met, told me to treat "Lifeboat Mona" as an anthem. And so do I.
I am senior crew/restricted skipper on a lifeboat in WA. Love this song, brings a tear to my eye everytime, reminds me of our RNLI brothers and sisters.
Lifeboat crew all over the world are true heroes. Thank you.
it's polish version this songs too, it's almost like anthem. Ave!
EKT Gdynia - Mona
Still got wet eyes everytime i hear that song. Awe! to all ppl risking their lives for others. Polish version of this anthem Mona by EKT for any fellow sailor.
Lifeboat crewmen are heroes. nothing more to say. thank you
Piękna pieśń,w Polsce jest uwielbiana przez szantymenów i publiczność. U nas tytuł „Mona”.
Subskrybuję i przesyłam podziękowania z Gdańska 🎶⚓️🌊✨💖✨
It's not a competition, folks. I thought it was brilliant that Luke honoured the lifeboat Mona with his version.
However, the 50th anniversary coming up in December, 2009, I suspect that's why this was put up as a tribute to the brave men. And come on, this is a superb effort by emerald folk.
God bless them all, how many of us can even imagine going out in a storm in a little boat, with one aim, to save other lives. it's the stuff of fairy stories.
Unbelievably brave. RIP.
The Mona saved 118 lives during it's existence.
8th Decembr 1959 a terrible storm hit Dundee. At 3.13 am she was called out to rescue the North Carr Lightship adrift in St Andrews Bay.
The last radio message was received at 4.48 am and in the morning the wreckage was found on the beach at Monifieth.
Who in their right mind would face the most terrible of storms and as a volunteer risk their own life for another?
Bravest of the brave, you shall never be forgotten. RIP!
God (with many names) - bless all who serve in emergency services
Super pieśń super wykonanie.
My grandfather was coxwain on this boat.
My grandad was also on the Mona (Alex Gall)
I salute your grandfather as a fellow coxswain
What a grand tribute this song is.great job too.
No need to compare the singers : both versions are great and give a wonderful tribute to selfless and courgeous men who gave their (often young) lives to save other ones.
The Broughty Ferry life boat was called out to rescue a boat in trouble in the Firth of Tay December 1959.
The lifeboat capsized and was washed up on Carnoustie beach while the ship they were called out to help survived along with the crew....unlike those who had gone to their aid.
used to listen to this song as a child feeling very touched ,but never knew what it meant,my parents used to put this song on and i still play it forever more,very sad at what happened to find out the story he was telling was true ,r.i.p the brave xx
I love this song and stumbled across the video looking for something else! - as I looked at it I thought the rocks looked familiar and then saw the unmistakable Hook Lighthouse near the end of the video. My uncle was lost at sea just around the point in 1957.
I love this version AND the Luke Kelly one. They are both great tributes to this brave crew and all the lifeboatmen who have given their lives down the year.
I've posted links back to both UA-cam clips from the video section of a tribute to The Mona lifeboat crew that's on the online memorials website Lasting Tribute, hope that's OK with you.
RIP
I'm sorry for the loss of your Grandfather,,, such a Brave Crew !!!! such a sad song,,,,
I remember it happening. I lived in the town where she washed up, Monifieth, and my Dad coming home the evening after, telling us she had been burned there where she lay.
Hey thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
@cathal627 Thanks Cathal...glad you enjoyed.

@Firstmate74
Hi. I'm glad you enjoyed the song, & yes....you're 100% correct. It is Hook Lighthouse, in the beautiful county Wexford. It's one of my favourite places in the world. Thanks for the nice comment. This video is a dedication to the lifeboat service & to all those lost at sea...that includes your uncle.
Thanks again. You're english is fine....much better than my dutch, which is zero!!
Glad you enjoyed the song.
@BillDFC It's such a sad story when you hear details like that. I hope you liked the song. check out my other song when you get a chance & thanks for taking the time to post.
My grandfather died in the mona they didn't know he died until he was wash up on shore
@@franicestokes2928 That must have been very tough on the family. May he rest in peace.
Hi, Thanks for your comment, unfortunately I'm not multi-lingual, so I actually don't know what you're saying. Thanks for taking the time out anyway.
Hi,
Yes I totally agree, Luke Kelly's version is far better. Thats why I didn't even try to be as good as Luke (RIP) cos in my opinion it just wouldn't be possible. He was just amazing, and is my all time hero. Thanks for your comment.
Bohaterom co z morza nie wrócili.
Great song... makes me well up every time.
Is this the Dubliners version?
And everyone a volunteer.
Bound by blood and salty foam. May they rest forever together. Their ship it was their coffin there grave it was the sea.
never mind.. i missed the test at the start.
Pourriez-vous poster les paroles ?
