About this listen

As befits its origins in an island country with a language founded by seafaring invaders, with an empire that ruled the oceans for over two centuries, the English language has many words and idioms related to the sea.  I’ve chosen here some words we may be surprised to find telling us a tale of the sea and others with a history that satisfies my curiosity or delight.
