The story of Titanic has inspired books, films, movies and conspiracy theories abound over the years and still 706 people survived on not enough life boats(only 16) women and children first please but, Bruce Ismay, Chief Exec of White Star Line got on a lifeboat and he was never able to live that down (a coward) and the unsinkable sank In 1985 the wreck of Titanic was located 13,000 feet under water in the North Atlantic her portholes, walls and railings covered in rust her once grand rooms and staircases gone her wide decks no more first, second and third class rooms are now where fish swim and sea creatures crawl in the end it did not matter who you were on Titanic you either perished in the ocean or were saved many lost souls still remain part of the Atlantic ocean since the wreck was discovered items have been salvaged some think of this as grave robbing and to me it is oh, let Titanic and her 1500 lost souls rest in peace ______________________________ October 20, 2021 Poetry/Narrative/The Queen of the Ocean, Titanic Copyright Protected, ID 10-1398-477-20 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the contest, A Noteworthy Ship sponsor, Robert James Liguori, Judged 11/11/2021 First Place
