Bobby Shafto's Gone to Sea (Silver Buckles on his Knee...)
A delicious Cromer Crab
England Expects that Every Man will do His Duty. Nelson's famous message to his men at the Battle of Trafalgar.
A Flying Fish, of the family Exocoetidae (after whom is named the Exocet missile)
Full Fathom Five Thy Father
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that does fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong,
Hark! Now I hear them – Ding-dong, bell.
(The Tempest, W. Shakespeare)
King Neptune, god of the Seas and of Earthquakes.
