Stan's song Mary Ellen Carter is also credited with saving a man's life. The sailor was shipwrecked and clinging to the overturned hull in the frigid waters, and when he felt his strength failing, he thought of the words of Stan's song, and for three more hours he sang the song out at the top of his lungs over and over until he was rescued. "And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow, with smilin' bastards lying to ya every where you go: turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain, and like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again!"

When I first heard the album(start to end, without even reading the names of the songs), the moment I heard "But I am a Canadian" it ticked for me that this is not another sea shanty but an original song, and of course it's Stan Rogers, and I actually burst in tears. IDK if I *knew*(like, he was a huge influence on them(if they said it in an interview or something). But it was always obvious to me that he was, and this is such an amazing way to pay respect to an artist that inspired you. Especially in an album that consists almost entirely out of original sea shanties, that are done so well that it was at times hard to tell weather they were written by The Dreadnoughts or forgotten traditional shanties.

"Arise, and be merry, and sing out while you can" is possibly the most Stan Rogers line ever not sung by Stan. Could have easily fit in with the likes of his songs. He was always about making the most of life while you live it, and by god he practiced what he preached. His music, all of which was made in only 7 years of career leading up to his death (with minor exceptions) have been released gradually and remastered and relistened to millions of times over the following more than half a decade.. he is treasured not only by us Maritimers whose land and waters and culture he loved so much but by people all around the world. There are those who live places with nothing in common whatsoever with Stan's beloved scenery or cultures or way of life, and they still listen to him. That's one hell of a legacy, Stan.

From the streets of old Victoria; to fair old Mabou town; from Portage to Spadina; listen closely for the sound. A voice still echoes softly; 'cross the rivers and the plains. So don't you dare stop listening; and don't forget his name. [Chorus] Arise and be merry; and sing out while you can. The world will never see the likes of dear old Stan. [Chorus] The Yanks have Woodie Guthrie; the British, Ralph McTell. The Celts have got The Corries; aye, and Ronnie Drew as well. Adge Cutler sings of cider; out in the West Country; but I am a Canadian; and so I say to thee... [Chorus] When I was just a nipper; bouncing on my mummy's knee; 'twas "Harris and the Mare", me boys; she sweetly sang to me. And as I closed my eyes beneath the Northern moon so pale; I dreamed I was the Captain standing on the Nightingale. [Chorus] At The Wolf and Hound, Vancouver; just for a pint or two; these blokes were singing "Old Maui" from the whale's point of view. I thought of old Stan Rogers; and walked straight out the bar. And started up The Dreadnoughts, and here we bloody are! [Chorus]x2

Well, this "Yank" has been a Stan Rogers fan since I was a "nipper" as well. One of my earliest memories is dancing around the living room to "The Idiot" and "Working Joe, and my "mummy" singing me "Northwest Passage." I once got in trouble in Kindergarten for calling my friend an "idiot," thinking it was a complement. Now I'm 26, and despite the fact that died more than a decade before I was born, he's probably had more impact on me than any other musician (except perhaps that other great Canadian Joni Mitchell). Among many other things, I would confidently assert that he was at least in the top five, if not the single greatest lyricists in history. And to think that he accomplished everything he did before he turned 34 is something I still cannot quite wrap my head around. The world truly shall never see his like again.

Discovered him in quite possibly the nerdiest way one can discover Stan Rogers. Made a character in Final Fantasy XIV that I headcanoned was a former pirate whose story arc was about rediscovering his love for sailing. So of course, because I'm, again, a huge nerd, I took to Spotify to make a Playlist about my depressed pirate man, and I searched for any music with a nautical theme I found Mary Ellen Carter. Easily the best intro to Rogers' work. I quickly binged the rest of his work for its own sake, immediately falling in love. A weird and deeply geeky road to finding my way to his work but I'm not complaining

The Bandcamp page for this song talks a bit about it. The lead singer heard a group of hippies in the bar singing "environmentally correct" shanties, with lyrics for Old Maui like "thank pod we're homeward bound." From the sound of it, he founded the Dreadnoughts out of spite.

[@Scarfy397]

@@Eamil Aye, some time after making my comment I was able to track down the song they were talking about. It's called "Whales of Old Maui," and would be almost be a decent rendition of the song if not for the loud, distracting whale calls played over the frankly flat voices of the singers.

Thank you for making this song. I fear would have never found Stan Rogers had you not. ❤❤

As a Yankee, I believe I can definitively say, that Stan Rogers is the Patron Saint of Folk Music, at least on this Continent, with all due respect to the late great Woody Guthrie.
