The Shipwright of Saint John

The Shipwright of Saint John is a historical folk ballad inspired by the craftsmen who helped build Atlantic Canada's great wooden sailing ships. Set in the shipyards of Saint John, New Brunswick during the age of sail, the song follows a shipwright whose work carries him around the world without ever leaving home. Through skill, patience and pride in his craft, he becomes part of a maritime tradition that connected Atlantic Canada to distant oceans and ports.
