~ CROSSING THE BAR ~
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me.
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark;
For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far.
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.
~ Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1889

This hits hard here. My husband was an engineer on that ship for 11 years. He is mourning as if for an old friend.
