There is nothing quite so good as burial at sea. It is simple, tidy, and not very incriminating.
Gone before To that unknown and silent shore.
Death the last voyage, the longest, and the best.
I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap in the dark.
It is a quiet and peaceful place - and a fitting place for the remains of this greatest of sea tragedies to rest.
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.
Build then the ship of death, for you must take the longest journey, to oblivion.
There is one voyage, the first, the last, the only one.
