Ton Cargo Ship

Famous quotes containing the words ton, cargo and/or ship:

    Hearing your words, and not a word among them
    Tuned to my liking, on a salty day
    When inland woods were pushed by winds, that flung them
    Hissing to leeward like a ton of spray,
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    Nitrates and phosphates for ammunition. The seeds of war. They’re loading a full cargo of death. And when that ship takes it home, the world will die a little more.
    Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)

    To place absolute trust on another human being is in itself a disaster, both ways, since each human being is a ship that must sail its own course, even if it go in company with another ship.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
