"Morn on the waters, and purple and bright
Bursts on the billows the flushing of light
O'er the glad waves, like a child of the sun,
See the tall vessel goes gallantly on."
Author: Thomas Kibble Hervey

But never came to shore."

About: Ships
"Her plates are scarred by the sun, dear lass,
And her ropes are taut with the dew,
For we're booming down on the old trail, our own trail, the out
trail,
We're sagging south on the Long Trail, the trail that is always
new."
Author: Rudyard Kipling
About: Ships
"The Liner she's a lady, an' she never looks nor 'eeds–
The Man-o'-War's 'er 'usband an' 'e gives 'er all she needs;
But, oh, the little cargo-boats, that sail the wet seas roun',
They're just the same as you an' me, a'-plyin' up an' down."
Author: Rudyard Kipling
About: Ships
"Lord, Thou hast made this world below the shadow of a dream,
An', taught by time, I tak' it so–exceptin' always steam,
From coupler-flange to spindle-guide I see thy Hand, O God–
Predestination in the stride o' yon connectin'-rod."
Author: Rudyard Kipling

Staunch and strong, a goodly vessel
That shall laugh at all disaster,
And with wave and whirlwind wrestle!"

"There's not a ship that sails the ocean,
But every climate, every soil,
Must bring its tribute, great or small,
And help to build the wooden wall!"

When heaven was all tranquillity."
