Suppressed by the ocean
Memories lost, families broken, wishes destroyed
Built to for indefinite journeys
A hurtful surprise, sadness of death before eyes, scarce life boats
Captains abroad desired to sail her in 1912

Men second to the women
Two hours and forty minutes to the end, 1,517 passengers dead, three days until the Carpathia
Thousands greeted the survivors at the dock
First class survived, second class barely sustained life, third class sank with their tickets
Titanic, largest maritime disaster for the time
