Land & Sea: Wooden vs Steel-hulled Long Liners

[@brianchar6912]

It would be better if this great collection of cbc heritage had the accurate date the episode's were released

[@alexeveleigh6980]

Wish they would turn down the music when someone is speaking, I can’t hear a word skipper says when he’s describing his boat. Something about the galley on deck and sleeping quarters and engine being forward?

7:09 What's that port in the side of the ship? A bow thruster?

[@Joelontugs]

I cant believe they where still building wooden boats at that time that's insane in south east Louisiana the iron boats took over

[@MrCrabbing]

Not too many wooden ones left fishing here in the uk now, I think the last wooden one buily I can remember was 33 feet built to be under ten meters long rule and that was 1998

I don't understand why the Canadian regs are so difficult. I am from the USA side, on Lake Superior.

Wow. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Gail

[@andrewrose2627]

Being a Fisherman myself I have heard numerous times it's bad luck to change a boats name

[@williamchace649]

Miss Penny was renamed Andrea Gail.

[@caseydixon8714]

Thats Proof that its bad luck to change the name of a vessel

[@spinedctr]

Just wondering what year this was filmed in? 1982? 1983?

[@nadaway7253]

PORT IS ALWAYS TO YOUR LEFT WHEN YOU ARE SURE YOU ARE FACING THE FORWARD OR FRONT PART OF THE BOAT. While a bow thruster is a type of propulsion at the STERN or rear of a vessel normally found in equal quantities on both sides to ensure balance of the thrusters with the added centuries old tried tested and true screw shaped propeller on a shaft in the center of the ship, or a "prop" or what ever, propeller. not to be confused with the concept of multiple outboard motors or the physics of barges and towing etc.

i must sound like that crunchy the clown 2 u but, i meant 2 say Roddick_TOWN RODDICKTOWN IN THAT LAST TWEET or whatever :)

[@nadaway7253]

I THINK NEWFOUNDLAND COULD POSSIBLY RECEIVE GOOD SIZE SHIPMENTS OF GRAIN AT PORT HARMON, STEPHENVILLE, CORNER BROOK PORT, C.B.S.Long Pond Manuels, St. Anthony South superport Cremaline Harbour or Cremailier or Crueller or Croissont Cove or Crusty Cove with a side of bacon, it's none of my busines what the mayor of Roddictown has for breakfast in the morning, sure. Any other good grain ports in LABRADOR, ANYONE? HI! LOVE to HOPEDALE, MAKKOVIK and south and Lance au Loup, the presumptive capital of southern Labrador.

[@IStink3]

Im betting most of them lost their shirts a decade later. What a sin!

[@whyte428]

they where both lost at sea with some losing more than there shirts

[@Captyogi]

The miss penny looks like the boat from the prefect storm

[@johnplesha5479]

@@Captyogi I saw a comment on the thread that did say that she was later renamed the Andrea Gail and was also lost at sea. Good catch!

Letting government dictate economic activity will lead to bureaucratic impediments to common sense problem solving -Sails went out when engines were developed out of the need for power not dependent upon winds- y’all lucky the government is not mandating sails because of sail makers
