About this listen


IT SANK IN THE NOW,
ex-pat down with all hands
seen one Wednesday
in a sinking southern city.

It hit the April showers
serving death
en route to Yorkshire,
killing peace and war and
Mary timed it well,
she was the biggest,
longest woman
to float the virgin shore.

Oceanus tells a story that’s been told a thousand times before, one that’s known all around the world – the tale of a passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean with massive loss of life. Oceanus tells the story of the RMS Titanic.
