The Titanic
"Not even God can sink this ship", so came the powerful answer. "How strong is the ship?"
But the Titanic sank on its very first voyage.
Yes, the Titanic sank.
Yes, the Titanic sank.
"How strong is the Titanic?"
"Not even God can sink the ship."
But the Titanic sank.
Mr. Captain, how come you did not heed the first telegraph: "there is an iceberg on your route?"
Mr. Captain, how come you did not heed the second message: "there is an iceberg on your route?"
The Titanic sank after it struck an iceberg.
And about 1500 men perished.
The women and children were rescued in life boats.
