CHILLy waters marked by silent sirens:
CREAK nor clang nor song do they sing.
CACHE of brute strength waiting, watching:
RIVET and bulkhead’s final cries ring.

Really like this. It sets a mysterious, chilly, menacing tone. Makes me think of submarine warfare.
I like this, Steven, but the sirens seem to be being a bit slack on the singing department.
Indeed. But, those in the North Atlantic in April 1914 weren’t too vocal, after all.
I can be slow on the uptake. Titanic! Though that was 1912. How did Unsinkable not clue me in?
That’s right. I had a nagging feeling that the year was off, but I was too lazy to look it up.
