Lest We Forget

Shipmates who have Crossed the Bar

The Ode
They have no grave but the cruel sea
No flowers lay at their head
A rusting hulk is their tombstone
Afast on the ocean bed.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Our Condolences to the Family and Friends of those who have crossed the bar.
