SEA
POEMS
A Seafarer Anthology
SELECTED AND INTRODUCED BY BOB CREW
This exciting collection of sea
poems is like no other. It brings together two separate maritime nations
and cultures - the United States and Britain - through the works of
many different poets on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean telling the
colourful and awe-inspiring history of seafaring. From the landing of
the Pilgrim Fathers in America in the early 17th century,
following the defeat of the Spanish Armada in the English Channel by
Sir Francis Drake in the late 16th century - to the Battle of Trafalgar
and the defeat of Napoleon's French fleet by Lord Nelson in the early
19th century - this book has a gripping story to tell and a fitting
tribute in Sea Britain 2005 to our great maritime heritage.
