Iron Bess Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 They that go down to the sea in ships... He went home embraced by the sea he loved.We should all hope for such fine an end. My prayers for his family and friends. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
The Doctor Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 From The Book of Common Prayer, circa 1785, for the Purpose of Burial at Sea... WE therefore commit his body to the deep, to be turned into corruption, looking for the resurrection of the body (when the sea shall give up her dead,) and the life of the world to come, through our Lord Jesus Christ; who at his coming shall change our vile body, that it may be like his glorious body, according to the mighty working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself. Amen. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?

CaptainCiaran Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 Thank you for sharing this with us, Charity. My prayers go to Hans' family and his crew members. I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map. -- Loreena McKennitt My fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime. -- Stan Rogers I don't pretend to be captain weird.
