My Grandfather Donald Sturrock and Learmonth from The Hudson Bay Company were actually the first Southern people to ever navigate the Northwest Passage from West to East before the St. Roch I have a book written by His nephew Walt Sturrock it was transversed in a small vessel.

I volunteered there in the 1990's running the Black Duck and BCP 45 with a bunch of other volunteers. Great times.

Good work cuzzin. Keep it up.

Built a wooden model of this ship..didn't realize its significance at the time.

Was Van Couver originally a Dutch name?

My great grampa 🥰

Why is it that mini-documentaryx/educational programmes of the 1930's/40's are infinitely more watchable than today's one's ??. This is excellent !

I went to the Vancouver MAritime Museum a couple of weeks ago and we saw this ship. It was hard to believe that it had the history it did. Especially since its in such great condition. Ive been OBSESSED with local Vancouver/Canadian history of this period since and this is such a fantastic video.. I love it! What a fuckin cool ship and story.

how does this work?

Very informative. Thanks for uploading. New subscriber here. Greetings from the Philippines.

Amazing rendition. Very beautiful music. Lovely.

Thanks for doing it for the City!

I’ve been there, is about 100 miles NW from Taloyoak. Not recently though. Beautiful place.

Gee, I love So. California!

Great upload thank you

Excellent, thank you !!

Wow, I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

Awesome!! 👍😎🇨🇦

Don’t let Shackleton see the bit with poppy music where they happily dig the boat out

A nice vacation, while a bloody world war 2 battle rages on at Dunkirk

So many interesting things. Brave and strong men. Wonderful inuit/Eskimos

Very interesting. Such vibrant people all of whom would be dead now except perhaps some of the children.

Amazing this was done during the war. Adventure and discovery still alive and sadly our need for power ,greed and murder. Strange isnt it.

Frankling. And the crew of both the terror and Erebus are well remembered in the UK.

Nice

A little wooden ship did what the largest modern ice breakers have trouble with today!

It's amazing how the music plays on the perspective of the film. This sounds a little like the old laurel and hardy pictures

And nuclear ice breakers struggle to transit now! Well that is global warming for you!

So was the Polar ice disappearing due to global warming back then to?

inuit -which the eskimos call themselves -means human

North west? From where? From Japan the north west passage is leading to Norway. Just saying. You Yanks are far too ego centric, aren't you? Do change that name. North west passage is nonsense.

My uncle Bill, a serving Canadian Naval Radio Officer was stationed up north, and had film of the St. Roch, but there was no perspective (trees, docks, vehicles) and even as a serving Naval Officer (William St. John) he was not allowed within two miles of the boat!!!! Remember also during the war filming was very restricted.

Great looking boat. Anybody know what the moto was?

31:16 check out that iceberg!

We forget how many brave Mounties forged this country out of unexplored savage wilderness. For the most part they were of Scottish, Irish and French Canadian rugged strong stock.

My Grandad has more historical memories of navigating the Anderton Boat Lift with a wife and 6 kids aboard their working narrow boat💪

"..Point Barrow Alaska, the most northerly tip of the North American continent." they must mean America, Ellesmere Island has the most northerly tip of North America.

today men would perish, including me BRAVO

This is an excellent documentary !!

Back when Canada was CANADA. And Newfoundland was still a British Colony.

thank you, i enjoyed this very much.

Just visited the Museum today. It is amazing to watch this video. Suggest to play the video in the Museum beside St. Roch.

What is known about the construction of the St. Roch? Was it built at a shipyard in Vancouver? I'd love to know those details and more. This was an epic voyage.

Good stuff but the music sucks let nature make the noise

I am reminded of the song performed by Stan Rogers "Northwest Passage" the rising Canadian folk singer who died in a tragic plane fire on the tarmac in 1983. Also, at the other end of the pole, the Shackleton Expedition. Bless from Arizona 4 : : corners 🦁⛄🎄🏜️

Thank you, this was a great piece of history.
