[00:40.033] | Designed by William Rou茅 and built by Smith and Rhuland Co |
[00:43.455] | Launched in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in 1921 |
[00:46.877] | Christened by lady Audrey Smith, she slipped into the bay |
[00:50.403] | Oh captain Angus Walters, a skipper of high degree |
[00:53.851] | The Bluenose now was on her way |
[00:56.946] | |
[01:03.046] | Season after season a regatta she'd endure |
[01:06.547] | She won the cup for fastest ship and this we know for sure |
[01:09.943] | For 17 years no challenger could best the champion ship |
[01:13.469] | For captain Angus Walters, a skipper of high degree |
[01:17.126] | The fastest schooner ever |
[01:19.268] | |
[01:19.268] | She was a champion of the sea |
[01:22.508] | None could best her as it came to be |
[01:25.904] | Old Angus and his crew were quite the team |
[01:29.482] | The Bluenose was the fastest ship make you no mistake |
[01:32.957] | All others failed in her wake |
[01:36.417] | |
[01:58.583] | A submarine from Germany had got her in her sights |
[02:01.874] | And surfaced and called, "Are you the bluenose?". Angus cried, "That's right!" |
[02:05.584] | I'd sink you with torpedoes now if you were not the champ |
[02:09.032] | So get back in to the the harbour now I cannot sink your ship |
[02:12.558] | 'Cause you're the scooner non can' |
[02:15.327] | |
[02:21.544] | She's obsolete in fourty-six, she eventually was sold |
[02:25.019] | A freighter in the Caribbean, this was now her home |
[02:28.545] | A-laiden with bananas as she struck a Haitian shore |
[02:31.915] | Her back was broken hopelessly, she floundered on the reef |
[02:35.598] | She broke apart with no relief |
[02:37.871] | |
[02:37.871] | She was a champion of the sea |
[02:41.058] | None could best her as it came to be |
[02:44.611] | Old Angus and his crew were quite the team |
[02:48.085] | The Bluenose was the fastest ship make you no mistake |
[02:51.637] | All others failed in her wake |
