Question

why is the sea called proud and unfruitful in the poem the north ship?​

Answer 1

${\huge{\mathcal{\purple{ANSWER :- }}}}$

The natural condition becomes more intensive in the fifth stanza as the 'sky rose high and black' / 'Over the proud unfruitful sea'. The delineation of 'the north ship' alters for awhile into the first and the second ships that sailed 'east and west'. They 'came back' in two conditions e.g. 'Happily or unhappily'.
