    GREAT VIDEO! I recommend looking into the Newfoundland pirate John Phillips, who stole a fishing boat with 4 other men, swore a pirate code on a hatchet, and then plundered 30 ships before being mutinied upon and tossed over of the coast of Newfoundland in 1724. Could be a good add to this :)

    Just wanted to say how much I love this series and your guys’ work, these videos are truly incredible, not just the stories themselves but also the way you tell them. In fact, you guys are the first and only channel I’ve ever become a patron on patreon for, because I’m so enthralled in it and want to see you succeed in producing more of this content. I can offer one piece of constructive criticism, if you’ll have it, in that I think in this episode the music and the narration were slightly out of balance. In some parts, it was just a little hard to hear your narration over the soundtrack. Not that I entirely minded, as the music of this video is also phenomenal. I’ve learned so much about my own Canadian history from you guys in the last few months alone, and it’s really renewed my interest in our local stories that much more. Thank you, from Cayuga/Guelph

      @Canadiana  2 года назад +2

      Thank you so much, sorry we didn't see this comment sooner. You can never know how much we appreciate and rely on our Patreons! And we appreciate the feedback! Sound mixing is one of the hardest things to get right, and sometimes it seems like RUclips throws a wrench in after the upload (though we don't know how that could be). If we could afford a sound mixer we would because we agree that at times the balance is off. Part of it stems from the microphone we use during production, it almost always sounds oddly quiet no matter what we do in post. But we do sometimes get a little complacent with the level of the music after hearing it so many times. We really hope to get better at it with each episode because there's nothing worse than having spent so long on animations only to lose the viewer due to the finicky audio! We hope you enjoy the rest of the season!

    Had a maternal loyalst ancestor so took the time to do research about him (Haldimann Papers, etc). Had an adventurous life. Started off in Stiĺlwater, NY. His father Isaac Sr was Col of the militia. All his 4 sons were very active during the 1st Colonial Civil War. Captured as a chief of scouts, far behind rebel lines just after Saratoga battle. Sentenced to death. Exchanged day before his execution date. Ended up in the 'Baie de Chaleur' (Bay of Heat) fed by the magnificent Restigouche River, with his extensive family.
    Was appointed the '1st Sheriff of Gaspe, given a sloop and tasked with intercepting smugglers, revolting rebel fishing poachers and other such stuff. Believe he operated out of New Carlisle.
    Have lots on his active Revolution period but can't find anything about the 1786-1816 period. Can anyone help ?

    • @Canadiana
      @Canadiana  2 года назад +1

      Our guess is that boredom was the greatest evil a ship's crew had to face. Maybe boredom, especially on ships where alcohol was regulated, bred mutinies. At the same time, music in the form of sea shanties served a crucial role in the running of a ship. Most of the actions the crew performed to steer and maintain their ships were best done quickly and methodically. Sea shanties behave like metronomes that keep dozens of men working on a task in sync. While providing a boost of energy. Music might have been the lifeblood of a well-maintained ship.

    • @hilariousname6826
      @hilariousname6826 Год назад

      Contrary to popular belief, sea shanties do not seem to have been common until into the 19th century, when types of ships and gear came into use that necessitated tasks particularly amenable to shanty-singing - for a dive into the details, look up the work of Gibb Schreffler, probably the leading scholar on the subject today. Shanties did not require a 'musician' as such, rather just a 'shantyman', i.e., a singer capable of leading the singing, which involved having a loud singing voice, a repertoire of shanties suiting various tasks, and often the ability to improvise verses. The 'golden age' of shanties was from about 1820-1870. However, there was a tradition of fiddlers accompanying rhythmic work. William Bligh infamously had a fiddler on the Bounty to provide music for the requisite dancing drills he put his men through (he wanted to make sure they got their exercise!).@@Canadiana

    But times were hard and though I tried, the money wasn't there
    And bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair
    I looked for every kind of job, the answer always "no"
    Hire you now, they'd always laugh, we just let twenty go!
    The government, they promised me a measly little sum
    But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum
    Then I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone
    I'm gonna be a PIRATE! on the River Saskatchewan!
    (arr! arr! arr!)

    The Beotuks were native to Labrador and were helped to the Newfoundland Island.. no natives found dating pre- portuguese. They have sites dating 500 years old but there was 100 years of the Island before the Beotuks

    Ever read “River Thieves” about the last of the Beothuks. It’s written by Micheal Crummy.

    What about Refugee Cove and the story of the Miqmaw saving and helping the Acadian refugees?
    So much in the maritimes of Canada to remember…
