Just wanted to clarify for those that don't know, this man died a hero. He died of smoke inhalation while trying to help others toward the exit of a burning plane back in 1983. One survivor of the incident said that all she remembers was being ushered toward the exit by a bald man with a beard....that man was Stan Rogers.

[@bryanm4473]

They set sail in 1778, during the American Revolution. 6 years later would be 1784 which marks the end of the War. The narrator was engaging in war with the Americans so it's possible that he was held as a prisoner of war and released back to Nova Scotia. That's what I think. By the way Sherbrooke Nova Scotia was not founded until 1805, 20 years after the events of the story. Doesn't really matter, it's a fictional song... a GREAT fictional song!!!!

Rogers would have been proud to know that the crew of the Northern Harrier sang this shanty to pass the time as we did the Trans-Superior International Yacht Race, August 2019. The best part? We were a crew put together online, Canadian-American. We came to Sault Ste. Marie, MI from as far as Thunder Bay, ON and Baltimore, MD. On the third day, alone on deck, I started to sing this song and a lad from Duluth, MN actually knew the lyrics, too, and joined in.

I met Stan Rogers one afternoon in 1978 in Ginger's Tavern in the South end Halifax, N.S.. I was sitting at the bar where my sister was tending bar and there was no one else there. A man came in and sat down two stools from me and we talked for about an hour about 'stuff'. I had no idea who he was and I assume he knew it. I did know his music. After he left, my sister told me who he was. He was a gift that did not last long enough.

[@seansky2721]

Stan Rogers might have saved my life during the Wuhan flu season. I kept my head, and stayed the course.

[@mattthecat5036]

This is far and away my favorite version of this song. The tempo is a little bit faster, and its sung with a bit more naturalness and gusto when compared to the studio versions: Exactly the kind of thing that happens when you're sitting around singing with friends. Awesome.

[@henrylynch1966]

Is there a full version of this version?

[@simonsmith6053]

Stan's face throughout that was epic - you could see him literally carried along by the love of the music. Brilliant stuff

So Stan is singing with his brother, garnet, the dude with the super long hair, and the three other guys were from Ryan’s Fancy, another amazing folk band of the 70’s-80’s, Denis Ryan, Fergus O'Byrne, and Dermot O'Reilly, not sure who the guy in the sweatshirt is though.

Maybe it’s cause I’m not Canadian but Barrett’s Privateers is the only piece of media I’ve seen depict the American Revolutionary War from a Canadian perspective and one of the only ones I’ve seen from the perspective of the British side

[@ericjensen4434]

In July 2017 I was at a remote fly-in fishing camp in Labrador. The sun sets late and us American Sports and our Newfoundlander Guides were sitting with some drinks and a couple guitars playing and singing just having a great night. It got late and we were headed to bed when one Newfie says, "Anyone know Barret's Privateers?" I've been waiting decades to hear that! All the Canadians sure did. We closed out the night with that song. It remains one of the most unforgettable moments of my life. Every one of those folks revered Stan.

Man, it really chaps that this version isn't the one that's sold on his albums -- live or studio recorded -- because it's *easily* the best one. XD It's the slightly unhinged quality of it + those percussive THWOCKS underneath that keep it moving.

I can vouch for that- I sat front row center at a concert where Stan and Co. had clearly gotten pretty well-oiled in advance, though they never missed a beat. Garnet was a bit wound up, quoting some unrepeatable verses to "Barrett's Privateers", and calling the audience "wimps" for not singing loud enough, which got a sharp look from Stan. I'm glad I had the chance to see him.

The song takes place during the height of the American Revolution. The song begins with the line "the year was 1778" which is what puts it in that time period. 6 years would put the narrator back in Halifax in 1784. This lines up with the end of the American Revolution. My best guess is that the narrator was taken as a prisoner of war and was released when the war came to an end.
