Titanic was the ship of dreams
The White Star Line went to the extremes
To make sure she was the grandest ship
When she left on her maiden trip
From South Hampton she set sail that day
A collision with the New York caused a short delay
Into the Atlantic she made her descent
Bound for New York was her intent
Her crew was made up of some of the best
The passengers were all impressed
Especially with Edward Smith their captain
Murdoch, Lightoller, and the rest of the men
The passengers included the richest of the day
Vice-President of White Star, Bruce Ismay
John Jacob Astor, was the richest on board
Isador Straus, owner of Macy's and Ford
The sea was calm, the sky was clear
Icebergs looming very near
All the warnings they ignored
Into the ice sheet the went forward
With the persistence of Ismay and his greed
The ship began to pick up speed
Then out of nowhere a berg struck with such a force
It caused the ship to veer off course
She was unsinkable, or so they presumed
Dead in her tracks, Titanic was doomed
Andrews could do nothing, it was too late
The number of compartments filled was too great
In two hours time she would be no more
Laid to rest at the ocean's floor
The ship was sinking, there weren't enough boats
Women and children were loaded, dressed in their coats
As the boat began to descend
The band would play till the end
Boat #14 left, lead by 5th Officer Lowe
Molly Brown urged everyone to keep up spirits and row
The lights went out, the night turned to black
There was no sign of Rose, no sign of Jack
The priest gave some words of emotion
As they sank into the deep, cold ocean
They fired off rockets, telegraphed for aid
But soon their hopes began to fade
1500 people went into the sea
Life boats came back, but only found 3
Nearly 80 years later Ballard joined Woods Hole
To find the sunken vessel was his goal
He used a Russian vessel, got a able staff
They found the ship broken in half
The discovery was huge, the news hit worldwide
The story so sad, so many had died
Perhaps they'll turn it to a movie or show
