(2) The Brave Old Temeraire by James Duff

Our friends depart, and are forgot,
As time rolls fleetly by;
In after years none, none are left,
For them to heave a sigh;
But hist’ry’s page will ever mark
The glories she did share,
And gild the sunset of her fate,
The brave old Temeraire

Dry Dock
For the purpose of being broken up…
Oak, and iron, and man
