About this ebook
Sir Francis Drake, Sir Henry Morgan, and other legendary figures from the age of buccaneers star in this 1906 history of the Elizabethan age of sailing ships. Ocean voyages, shipwrecks, treasure hunts, raids, sacks, sea battles and privateer customs and politics round out accounts of how ships were rigged, sailed, armed, and crewed.
John Masefield
John Masefield was a well-known English poet and novelist. After boarding school, Masefield took to a life at sea where he picked up many stories, which influenced his decision to become a writer. Upon returning to England after finding work in New York City, Masefield began publishing his poetry in periodicals, and then eventually in collections. In 1915, Masefield joined the Allied forces in France and served in a British army hospital there, despite being old enough to be exempt from military service. After a brief service, Masefield returned to Britain and was sent overseas to the United States to research the American opinion on the war. This trip encouraged him to write his book Gallipoli, which dealt with the failed Allied attacks in the Dardanelles, as a means of negating German propaganda in the Americas. Masefield continued to publish throughout his life and was appointed as Poet Laureate in 1930. Masefield died in 1967 the age of 88.
