The call of the sea and the mystery of foreign lands has drawn sailors and travelers to risk all and venture forth. The inspiration from the experience drove many to make all kinds of models to record and preserve the details of the vessels and among the array you will find the ship in a bottle. Neil McLeod traveled by sea to and from Africa, and his grand parents went on sailing ships to New Zealand. The poems in this anthology capture the essence of ships and the sea and the ports of call.
