"Barrett's Privateers" is a fictional sea shanty written by Stan Rogers in the 1970s but evokes the spirit of the age of privateering. While the ship (the Antelope), Captain Elcid Barrett, and the disastrous Caribbean voyage are inventions, the song accurately captures the dangers of privateering life, the lure of potential riches, and the often grim realities faced by sailors during the late 18th century.

Nothing quite like storytelling through shanties. And nothing quite like the Longest John's trademark harmonies to deliver a fun take on Stan Rogers.

You guys never fail to please. But lets be honest, it be very hard to go wrong with Stan Rogers. The man was a true genius at writing music. I'd love to hear you guys cover White squall or The Last watch. Your harmony would make those songs so much more impactful

Just looked it up on Wikipedia, right now. Apparently, it goes back to a Child Ballad, and the first known version is from 1636, and it's original title was "The Sweet Trinity" (which is the title of the Wikipedia article).

Being here in Nova Scotia, or New Scotland, I am a true Stan Rogers fan. As I have said before I love your covers of his and everyone you do. You always add that little twist that makes it your own when you are following the original so close. I'm going to see his brother, Garnet, in a couple of weeks. He was in Stans band and sang on some of his recordings. Have you heard his song "Welcome to Hell"? There are live vids of him doing it at some of his shows.. you could always substitute some of the government leaders names. Keep up the good work, you bring so many smiles to peoples faces.

I only have Garnet's 1984 album...obviously, I've been neglecting him for too long. I also don't have all of Stan's albums, either. It is nice to hear a cover of anything of Stan's, but Barrett's Privateers has always been my favorite. The version on Home in Halifax seems impossible to beat, unless there's another live version I haven't gotten to hear yet.

@@Mr_T_Badger- Nathan performed in our Labrador venue a few years ago, during a tour where he was performing only Stan’s songs. I was in the box-office when he did his sound check and the auditorium doors were open. All of a sudden I was covered in goosebumps and the hairs on the back of my neck were standing on end. I thought I was hearing a ghost! I walked in to the auditorium, half expecting to see Stan on stage. It was eerie how much like his dad he sounded.

I like how JD leaned to his left at "list to port". A real shantyman knows.

The absolute grip Stan Rogers has on my ears. This is a great cover.

Love it..... It reminds of The Dubliners - my family have been follow for years. We love Sea Shanties and folk songs. I heard about U through: Home Free - who is on tour in Europe. I have seen your tourlist. And Denmark is not among the countries.... We love folk songs, country music and A'capella music. Please, visit Scandinavien. Thanks.

Hey friend. If you want something to bump to that's new? Listen to Heather Alexander/Alexander James Adams (it's the same person) I am NOT joking when I say Alexander was and IS the soundtrack to my life. Every major event. Every car ride with dad. Every high and low. Trying to sleep as a kid my dad played Alexander every night. Seriously listen to Alexander. He does children's songs and war songs and if you like loud bass? Go give him a listen. But just a warning, he, being seemingly a mild mannered sweet folk singer of a bit chaotic like the fey (that's his stage persona) hits decibels higher then pantera. You'll blow your speakers if you play it full volume. Ive killed a few myself that way listening to March of cambreth.
