Capt Smith's Immortal Words As The Titanic Sank Without A Trace

She was posh and built at enormous cost Alas, She was fated to be star-crossed Plunged to Her eternal grave Capt Smith gave a final wave And shouted, "Cheer up folks! All hope is lost!"

Yikes, it certainly was Bob, the only good thing to come out of that was a law was passed to ensure that all ships were to carry enough lifeboats. Hope your new year is off to a good start. Tom

Thanks Tom. Fictional write of course but I suspect he said under his breath, "Oh, sh**! Have a healthy and prosperous New Year! - Bob H
