And never sail of ours was furl’d,
Nor anchor dropt at eve or morn;
We loved the glories of the world,
But laws of nature were our scorn;
For blasts would rise and rave and cease,
But whence were those that drove the sail
Across the whirlwind’s heart of peace,
And to and thro’ the counter-gale? (Stanza XI of Lord Tennyson’s “The Voyage”)
Relive the majesty, grace and romance of sailing ships and their voyages around the world, including the ever-respected Cape Horn.
