Blue sea Quote by John D. Whidden
““With the words, “We commit the body to the deep,” the end of the plank was lifted, and the hammock, heavily weighted at the end, slid down, and, with a splash, the blue sea closed over all that remained of our shipmate, while the order to “Fill away the main topsail!” brought us back to a realization that all was over, and our messmate gone forever.””
