The following is the preface of the book I'm currently reading:
"Come with me, ladies and gentlemen who are in any wise weary of London: come with me: and those that tire at all of the world we know: for we have new worlds here."
Substitute "Southampton" for "London", and this would suit you well. It's The Book of Wonder, by Lord Dunsany, and the highest of high fantasy - the quality of the writing is astonishing...
