Like a Ship's Fair Ghost Upon the Sea - Poetry Dedicated to the White Ship

"e;Like a Ship's Fair Ghost Upon the Sea"e; is a collection of poetry by various poets dedicated to the White Ship, a vessel that sank in the English Channel on 25th November, 1120. The ship was carrying around 300 people, including the only legitimate son and heir of King Henry I of England, William Adelin. All but one of those aboard died, and it was the death of William Adelin that led to a succession crisis in England that threw the country into civil war and a time that would be known as the Anarchy between 1135-53. Contents include: "e;Ballad of a Ship, By Edwin Arlington Robinson"e;, "e;The White Ship, By Dante Gabriel Rossetti"e;, and "e;He Never Smiled Again, By Felicia Hemans"e;. Ragged Hand is proudly publishing this brand new collection of classic poetry now for the enjoyment of a new generation of poetry lovers.
