Nobody has ever been hurt by the actions of ships I have been on.

We were wavering around like a ship without a sail.

The great difference between voyages rests not with the ships, but with the people you meet on them.

Our ships, God be thanked, have received little hurt.

One of the unique things is that whether we were out at sea or in the middle of the water tank, a lot of times you just couldn't leave. Especially when we were out at sea.

Seeing that our thirst was increasing and the water was killing us, while the storm did not abate, we agreed to trust to God, Our Lord, and rather risk the perils of the sea than wait there for certain death from thirst.

When my mother, sisters and I arrived on the shores of America when I was 8 years old, the boat on which we came, a freighter, passed the Statue of Liberty.

Many today feel troubled and distressed; many feel that, at any moment, the ships of their lives could capsize or sink.

And soon, too soon, we part with pain, To sail o'er silent seas again.

We were therefore obliged to unload our boats of their cargoes and pass them empty over the falls by means of long cords which we had provided for such purposes.
