He went to sea as a youth and his first volumes of poems earned him the title of Poet of the Sea. He was a prolific writer, publishing poetry and novels as well as taking on editorial tasks. In 1930 he became Poet Laureate, a post he retained until his death 37 years later. The Dauber is fashioned after a man (by trade a house painter) Masefield knew who was determined to become an artist and to paint ships on the sea.
