The Verb

on BBC Radio 3

In a programme recorded at the new
National Maritime Museum in Falmouth, Ian McMillan charts how the language of the sea and ships influences how we talk, and conducts a masterclass in nautical speech. There's a specially written drama by young Cornish playwright Carl Grose performed by members of Kneehigh
Theatre; travel writer and novelist Philip Marsden , from St Mawes, considers the importance and poetry of names of places; and Ian McMillan browses through the Bartlett Library, one of Europe's most important collections of maritime books and papers, now berthed at the museum.
