Famous quotes containing the word ships:

    “I saw three ships come sailing by,
    Come sailing by, come sailing by,
    I saw three ships come sailing by,
    On Christmas Day in the morning.”
    —Unknown. As I Sat on a Sunny Bank. . .

    Oxford Book of Light Verse, The. W. H. Auden, ed. (1938)

    To whirl in tall buildings.
    Allow them many ships at sea,
    And on land, soldiers
    And policemen.”

    “The ships we sank with women and children aboard. The lifeboats we shelled. Mmm ... we were good at that.”
