Written by Starlight 63

The grandest thing afloat.
She was a miracle that man created.
She was created with love and was loved by all who sailed on her.
But she would not be able to return their love.
She would return their love with despair and anger.
And she would take two of those who loved her more than anything with her.
Her father refused to leave her when she needed him most, and her brother,
For he cared about her like they were brother and sister,
Went down with her as well.
She was greatness personified, and one cannot think of her without thinking
Of her father or her brother.
Yet both are blamed for what befell her.
They were the ones who tried to save her when it was otherwise impossible,
And they stayed until the end.
Just like family should.
