They always stay in the stations until the ship sinks, supreme courage and far beyond the call of duty
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
In memory of all those I have known in my life who have been lost at sea, merchant men and fishermen alike, both fellow engineer's and navigators.

But this ship can't sink!...
She is made of iron, sir. I assure you, she can. and she will. It is a mathematical certainty.
Strength and honor
