The Launching: How Did They Build Titanic?
BARRETT
How did they build Titanic?
Near a thousand feet in length
Huge beyond past endeavor
Strong beyond mortal strength
Forty-six thousand tons of steel
Eleven stories high!
She's a great palace, floating...
Quiet as a lullaby
BARRETT
Fare-thee-well, my darlin'
I'll be back before a fortnight has passed...
BRIDE
Fare-thee-well, my darlin'
I'll be back before a
Fortnight has passed...

Fare-thee-well, my darlin'
ALL THREE
...I'll be back before a fortnight has passed!
