New Selected Masefield launched on the Cutty Sark
Monday, 14 Mar 2005
On 10th March Sea Fever: Selected Poems of John Masefield enjoyed a launch aboard the Cutty Sark: a vessel long-admired by the late poet laureate. The poet Simon Armitage (seen here on deck) read some of his favourite poems by Masefield, and Corona Extra stepped on board to quench the guests' thirsts. The reading took place amongst the Cutty Sark's superb collection of figure heads in the hold.
