Description
White text on a black background with a small picture of a sailor at the wheel of a ship. The text is an extract from a poem by John Masefield titled The Buccaneer. It reads: "t's the old old road and the old old quest / Of the cut-throat sons of Cain, / South by west and a quarter west, / And hey for the Spanish Main."
