In the first stanza of ‘Cargoes,’ the poet uses several words that readers might not know. Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine. Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir, Most allusions provide readers with a bit of information about something but don’t go into detail.

Allusion: occurs when the poet uses very specific and unusual words like “Quinquireme.” Readers have to either look up what the word means or depend on a faint understanding of its origin.

For example, “Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine” and “Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores.”

Imagery: seen when the poet uses especially clear and interesting descriptions.

For example, “tin trays” in the last line of the poem and “salt-caked smoke stack” in the first line of stanza three.

Alliteration: occurs when the poet repeats the same consonant sound at the beginning of words.

Throughout ‘Cargoes,’ Masefield makes use of several literary devices.

This makes sense when readers consider the content and Masefield’s interest in exploring cargo ships throughout time. This means that the poem changes a great deal from line to line and stanza to stanza. Stretching from four syllables up to more than ten. The lines are quite different from one another. The poet also chose not to structure this piece with a specific metrical pattern. The second and fifth lines rhyme in each stanza and the others do not. These quintains only contain one set of rhyming lines each. ‘Cargoes’ by John Masefield is a three-stanza poem that is separated into sets of five lines, known as quintains. There is nothing appealing about the dirty ship and its uninteresting goods. Sailing loses its romantic quality by the time the reader gets to the end of the third stanza. The world made a huge shift with the advent of modern shipping and that change everything, including the goods that were traded. The poet emphasizes the differences between these three different periods in history but especially between the first two and the third.

Throughout this piece, Masefield engages with themes of change and history. The poet describes a more contemporary, dirty, British ship that carries coal and cheap, uninteresting items. These two different periods in history are juxtaposed with one another as well as with the final. The second stanza brings in a Spanish galleon and the gemstones this particular type of ship would’ve carried. These include apes, peacocks, and sandalwood. In the first stanza, the poet explores ancient ships and ports from the Bible and the various items they could’ve been transported from Ophir.

Sorry.‘Cargoes’ by John Masefield is an interesting poem about the history of cargo ships and the cargo that they transported. These will be different wrecks then before, so the blueprints will be different then before too. Shipwrecks spawn every once in a while while travelling and can respawn if you travel back over an area you have been in before. So unless you are willing to buy the premium 'Black Galleon' for real money in the store, you will need to capture the civil version in the 'Open World' or build a lesser cargo capacity military galleon like the 38 gun or 44 gun galleon from blueprints. There is a civil galleon in the book of ships that travels at 9kns with that cargo limit but civil ships don't have blueprints yet in this game. No one has been proven to have found the black galleon that is shown in the Book of Ships that features 3500 ton cargo.
