David Coffin Performance - Maine National Guard

For the past two years the Maine National Guard has volunteered their expertise in the restoration of the Life Saving Station off the coast of Kittery Point, ME. During their stay a dinner is held in their honor. This year Sea Shanty singer David Coffin led the men and women in song.

This guy aged over the past 9 years exactly how I would have expected him to.

Dude in the back is dabing till this day

These guys aren’t appreciating Mr Coffins instruction as much as they should....I’d smile ear to ear singing with this man.

I would love to be at one of his shows. Singing sea shanties by yourself: tired
Singing shanties in a crowd with Coffin himself: WIRED

[Lore.]

Who needs instruments!? WHEN WE GET DAVID THE ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!!

[zuzuspetals]

How cool that he wrote a wry toast for them. Nicely done, Mr. Coffin.

[WildGoose]

Guy in white with camo cap and guy in green were definitely not having fun🤣🤣. Too cool to join in

[fallisinator]

They were too drunk for that second one lol

I haven't been in a social gathering for 6 years. I never ever thought that I'd see men in ☮️ but it isn't over we ARE going to find out where that road goes! Gentlemen I'm crying my eyes out. I've been singing these songs about 38 years ago. God bless all and music is the weapon of our future!

Living near Alexandria, Virginia, that old town has almost as many Irish bars and pubs than any town in Ireland. And Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, every damn one has live artists and bands singing every drinking song and sea shanty you could possibly think of. It is literally packed wall to wall singing drunks in every one. You would think they were competing. Then it turns into one huge pub crawl. This is every weekend of the year and some are cop bars, some fireman bars. Don't confuse them !! Then on New Years Eve they host First Night where every pub and restaurant has one group or another playing about a 25 minute show every half hour. You buy one ticket and it gets you in everywhere, but that is set up more family friendly. Usually that is alcohol free until 10pm and the kiddos go home. Most of the buildings are even origional to the late 18th century. It is perfectly insane and everyone needs to experience it at least once.

I’m from Brazil, this is song is fantastic!

That "don't be wry (rye) with me buddy" (6:36) was so sharp I got cut three years later...

[Naturalbodybuilderever]

😭 this is a Great Christmas and birthday gift! Cognitive. Thank our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd responder's. God bless our Universe!

Hed have been better off with some Marines. We literally sing cadence and love crayons in boxes. Were fakin loud as well. Either way well done to these men.

[hawkinatorgamer]

Come on cannon cockers, if this was 11Bs we would have been way more into this.

[markmarjanen]

This is type of shit that makes me happy

[JaredWroten]

For David to include this group in a shanty that the internet would watch and see some of these gentlemen not participate disappoints me. I am looking at the gentleman in green and the guy in the front in a grey shirt and glasses. National Guard commanders should council any man that doesn't conform to unit activities like the active US Army.

[Ravishrex]

I need a quarter master . Coffin is a great name.

[RyanKenway]

Just look at how lively they were
(they were all drunk)
