”Sea Fever” first appeared in John Masefield’s 1902 poetry collection, Salt-Water Ballads. The collection was influenced by Masefield’s own years spent at sea during his teens. Unhappy at boarding school, Masefield left to become a merchant seaman at the age of 15. His love of the sea and awe of the nature that surrounded him permeate his poetry. Students reading “Sea Fever” will find Masefield’s enthusiasm evident, but may need some background on a few nautical terms listed below.
