Based on some situations originated by James Cameron.

They called her the unsinkable,
With her unbending steel:
They called her the ship of the dreams,
With her sturdy appeal.
Her bow looked like a sharp island,
Strong and tough and bold:
Her stern was wide and hard with steel,
One that would not get old.
On that day of her departure,
So many stood and gazed:
Seeing her tall and strong figure,
So many were amazed.
As her pipes made a long, deep sound,
Her engines turned their rounds:
The people cheered on and off board,
Listening to the sounds.
As she sailed through the endless sea,
Day and night she went through:
All were fine until that night came,
When none thought it was true.
In the mist there appeared something,
Something giant and white:
Coming straight ahead of the bow,
Unseen through the dim light.
But then it was too late to turn,
The sirens made their scream:
All were suddenly in chaos,
As if in a dark dream.
The loud crash made the ship shake hard,
The iceberg passed by fast:
Panic ensued all over her,
Not enough time could pass.
Not enough boats for every soul,
All were too soon and late:
All wanted to escape and live,
Few could fight their own fate.
Slowly down toward the sea she went,
All slow first and then fast:
Into the cold when thousands cried,
All were then gone and passed.
