If you want more about this story read about the Franklin expedition and the history of John Rae and the Hudson Bay Company. It's a sad but incredible story.
This song was written and sung by Stan Rogers, born in Ontario but had strong roots in the Maritime provinces. He and Gordon Lightfoot are two superb Canadian balladeers.
The brilliant Longest Johns & their wonderful harmonies.
Im learning so much about nautical history through all these sea shanties.

Dear Old Stan...
@@TimJohnsonBizNet3 The world will never see the likes of dear old Stan.
Don’t leave out Leonard Cohen.
Wonderful
This is my favorite recording of this song. Sad it’s not on Spotify etc.
Spot on boys, Stan would be proud 💜
Yeah--pretty sure one of them is a woman.
I'm here in 2024
Wonderful.
Awesome!

Stan Rogers sang this song in D-major, these men are singing in E-flat.
People tend to do that to suit their vocal range. I have to, as I am a bass and can't sing in the same key as many others.
there's live versions of him Stan singing it in D flat, though the album version is in D. what now?
ok
