Some wealthy passengers were overheard saying, “Even God Himself couldn’t sink this ship”.

“Even God Himself couldn’t sink this ship”.

There is the kiss of death.

Cf. THE FLOATING ISLAND by Jules Verne. This was a huge floating platform, supposed to be invulnerable by virtue of its size alone. It is undone by financial and political struggles leading to factionalism and armed insurrection on board, although it is finished off by a typhoon, as it must be for the sake of poesy. The last lines:

And yet - we cannot repeat it too often - to create an artificial island that moves on the surface of the seas, is it not to overstep the limits assigned to human genius, and is it not forbidden man, who disposes not of the winds or the waves, to so recklessly usurp the functions of the Creator?
