Old Polina
Old Polina is a traditional Newfoundland folk song. It is most likely based on the ship ''Polynia'', built in 1861, of the Dundee Seal and Whale Fishing Company fleet. ''Polynia'' was commanded by Captain William Guy from 1883 to 1891, when she was sunk by ice in Davis Strait. This song is similar to another song called ''The Balaena,'' about another whaler. Background story Every year, the whaling fleet would sail from Dundee, Scotland to Newfoundland, there to pick up men to hunt the whales. Since the first ships to make it to Newfoundland would be able to pick the most experienced men, it became a bit of a competition to see who could make it in the fastest time. The other ships named in the song, ''Arctic'', ''Aurora'', ''Terra Nova'', and ''Husky,'' are all ships from the Dundee Seal and Whale Fishing Company fleet. ''Aurora'' was the ship that rescued the crew of ''Polynia'' in 1891 when she sunk. Art Jackman, Mullins, and Fairweather were captains of the ships at that tim ...

The North Atlantic Squadron (song)
"The North Atlantic Squadron" is an obscene drinking song associated with Canadian sailors and other groups of (primarily) men. It has a large number of traditional verses, mostly of the kind that rhyme "whore" with "Labrador", and is easily provided with new ones to suit the occasion. It is thought to have originated in the Royal Canadian Navy as the "Old Destroyer Squadron" during the First World War, although one source says the "squadron" referred to is "probably the 10th Bomber Reconnaissance Squadron" of the Royal Canadian Air Force. In any case it does not refer to the former North Atlantic Squadron The North Atlantic Squadron was a section of the United States Navy operating in the North Atlantic. It was renamed as the North Atlantic Fleet in 1902. In 1905 the European and South Atlantic squadrons were abolished and absorbed into the Nort ... of the United States Navy.

Lukey's Boat
"Lukey's Boat" is a comical folk song originating from the east coast of Newfoundland. Given its metre, it may have derived from a sea shanty. There are many minor variations of the song, depending on the singer; however it is essentially about the characteristics of the title boat, with the last few stanzas about Lukey returning home to find his wife dead and buried (who appears not to grieve her much, as he'll have another "in the spring of the year"). The earliest printed version was in "Ballads from Nova Scotia" (1932) by Helen Creighton, listed as "Loakie's Boat". It was recorded as "Lukey" by Great Big Sea for their 1995 album '' Up'', by Great Big Sea with The Chieftains for the 1998 album ''Fire in the Kitchen'', by Fiddler's Green Fiddler's Green is an after-life where there is perpetual mirth, a fiddle that never stops playing, and dancers who never tire.
