They genuinely are not, as in they are almost always talked about in good terms, neither are they underplayed really since they're probably the biggest or very near to the top in their genre.
For those who don’t know, this song is about the Northumbria, launched in 1969, and the largest vessel Britain had ever built at the time. It was an oil tanker that was built after the closing of the Suez Canal, as Egypt had blocked off the Red Sea during an attempted invasion by Israel aided by Britain and France. But after pressure from the US, UN, and USSR, the invading forces were forced to withdraw, and the entire event signified the end of Britain’s status as a major power, along with Europe in general, with the US, Russia, and China being the three major superpowers to this day. The Northumbria essentially served a second purpose of attempting to show that Britain was still a major power. But due to poor construction and fear of a massive oil leak, she was decommissioned and scrapped in 1982, only 12 years after her service. So in a way, this song isn’t about the death of a ship, it’s about the death of one of the greatest empires the world has ever known.
I had a big explanation of this up on the Dreadnoughts video before TH-cam nuked all of the comments, but this is more concise and covers just about all the points. Well done!
The main point I'd add to this is that _Roll Northumbria_ is about the dangers of management. Of letting higher-level strategy run roughshod over sound ground-level experience. _Esso Northumbria_ was built, very literally, as taking the design for an existing large tanker and simply scaling it up, making all the numbers on the blueprint proportionally larger and then readjusting internal space for sane deck heights. Any man who's ever "held steel or torch in his hands", who has engineering and shipbuilding experience, can tell you that's monumentally stupid and doesn't work. Stresses change with size that require design changes. Those weren't there for _Esso Northumbria,_ and it doomed her to her early end. She was never structurally sound, and was built that way as a result of Britain trying to rush out a response to a world passing her by. The results speak for themselves.
I’ve heard that Great Lakes sailors refuse to listen to the song when sailing, it’s an unpleasant wreck to even mention when the storms very well could claim you next
If you can haul away a halyard, and harden in a sheet then yes, your a jolly ol jack-tar! I just put my sailing vessel back in the water yesterday from it being on the hard all winter. Can't wait to get the mast and rigging lifted back on her in a few days after some maintnance work!

@@Tartarknight well from what I know you need to get trough a six months sailor school of sorts, then you can pretty much apply to work on any kind of ship as a labor worker
"As you sit in the mess hall, you hear the Head Engineer start to tap his foot and hum a tune. One of your colleagues pulls out his Harmonica and follows along. Soon enough the cold winds howl, and the creaking of this wretched vessel is forgotten in a haze of comradery fueled warmth. Soon enough our debt might be paid, but until then, we have each other."
Do it as my neighbor does. He carries an antique saber all the time around the farm just for them possums. I have never met someone so rabid at them. And it is strangely amusing seeing someone charge screaming into a barn, with a sword raised lol
The chorus "Roll, Northumbria, Roll" might be understood by laymen as slowly moving forward but actually describes the tanker in bad weather as it leans from side to side. This sounds heroic on first glance but it implies putting stress on the vessel which especially in her case being structurally weak means slowly breaking the ship. So there are already three different equally valid interpretations of just those few words. This song is just epic.
"The ship was designed to carry crude oil from the Persian Gulf, and its large design was a result of the Suez Crisis, which had resulted in the closing of the Suez Canal. The ship was single-hulled and was designed with relatively limited knowledge of the behaviours of such large structures at sea, being generally a straightforward scaling-up of a smaller design. It was also built to a fixed-price contract at a time when rampant inflation was occurring in Britain. This led to many attempts to cut costs; Swan Hunter ultimately made a loss on the contract. Final cost of the ship was £6.5 million. The ship was plagued with problems both with its fittings and more seriously, with cracking of the hull under stress. It needed many repairs in its short working lifetime and this, together with fears of a major spill, prompted its retirement in 1982 after only 12 years in service. The ship was broken up at Kaohsiung, Taiwan. A similar fate befell its sister ship, the Esso Hibernia, also built on Tyneside and launched in 1970."
So come all ye good workmen, beware the command That comes down on high from the desk of a man Who's never held steel or torch in his hand... ...felt that lyric like a cold metal boom to the face.

I like to think this guy is the Doomer in 20 years after he took to the sea and found a new purpose in life rising up the ranks of the Merchant Marine and is now a captain who has crewed and commandeered many tankers, freighters, and container vessels. His views on the world remain unchanged from when he was younger but he has found away to spend long periods of time living and working far away from society, for when navigating the great blue wilderness the darkness of the world is out of sight and out of mind. He has made many crossings of everything from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Ocean. He has seen crews come and go, but through them he has found the comradery he has always desired, and though the work can be hard and the seas foul he has become stoic and proud because of it. Now it is 2041, climate change has made storms more extreme just as he feared when he was younger, but during a crossing of the North Atlantic his tanker was overtaken by such a gale. As the ship tosses and turns, he walks across the deck of the vessel to perform inspection on a potentially damaged valve (much to the amazement of his crew), with hardened stoicism in his eyes and with a spirit (that learned from being beaten down by the world so long ago) of bravery and readiness to tank through the chaotic storm of life much like the his tanker in the violent gale.
I’m an American, and know the feeling. Haven’t built many merchant ships since Gerald Ford was President 40+ years ago. We sail those steamships til they sink.
Nearly a year ago today, as I sit in a foreign country by way of service to the country, I still can’t unsee that hospital. The last song I listened to before my father passed away on the early morning of August 11th, 2021. There’s a pain and loss in this song that seems to speak true. Frank Anthony Lewis Jr., March 17th 1939-August 11th 2021. I can only hope and pray that he knew I was in the hospital next to him though I was overwhelmed with exhaustion. A flawed man, a good man, and the last of his kind. I know he was proud of his son, and how badly he is missed by him. A year ago I learned what it is to be loyal unto death, and that death holds no terror, as on the other side is forgiveness and reunion. Sleep well, father, you have earned your rest. Your baby yoie misses you.
Moved away from hydrographic surveying last year to take a job position inland for stability to start a family. I do miss being out on the ocean though. This brings back good memories.
I love it,this is a great addition. Also I had a suggestion that I thought might provide a good challenge, how about some Johnny Cash? Maybe Folsom Prison Blues?
I love to see scroll through images of the northumbria while listening to this. "What lay ahead could no mortal divine" is an accurate feeling of seeing the beast
Roll Northumbria is probably one of my favorite songs in recent time. My favorite part is- actually i was going to type a couple parts out but i realized it would be too long. long story short this is a banger and i sing it while working the seafood department

Adding adequate ambient sound to music is such a good idea. The feelings the song wants to pass on are so much more palpable with a storm raging on the back.
While The Northumbria tanker is long since gone and there's only a handful of its large size tankers still operating today because there's a practical limit on making such large vessels like that When fully loaded with all the oil the VLCC( which what northumbria was) and ULCC class of tankers could not even come into port they had to be kept outside at a single mooring point to be loaded and then offload their stuff onto smaller tankers off the coast at lightering points They were also very slow and they had some of the longest routes at sea typically lasting around 70 days or more
