There Is A Poetry In Ships' Names



It can still be heard in the quiet watches of the night..., when mist obscures the waterfront and foghorns call mournfully through the darkness. Out across the bay, blinking lights mark the channel down which Navy ships have sailed for a hundred years, and bells sound a knell for those that never came back. There is no quiet Arlington for ships; their bones rust in unknown lands beneath the sea.

The names that entered history in minutes filled with fire and thunder are soon forgotten, except in long hours of the night when the bells call the roll of missing ships.

Morning Sam!!

Interesting topic this morning. Listening to the tunes now. Thank you for Poetry, coffee, tunes, and donuts at the Lair.

Have a great day Sam, any field trips planned today?

A battle group photo. Makes my heart flutter. :-)

Good sad poem. Our great ships, wish we could preserve them all. I love that at least they have a proper ceremony for those we know will be scuttled.

Good music today, thanks Sam.
