The third stanza is a vastly different image from the first two. “Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,/ Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,” is a much more negative view than the reader has been shown. The word “dirty” helps show the reader that this not a stately ship like the other two. Other indicators in the poem of this are the cargo,” of Tyne coal,/ Road-rails, pig-lead,/ Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.” These are far from riches or luxury items. The cargo described in this stanza are items needed for the function of industries.
