"The Titanic Disaster Poem" by J. H. McKenzie is a poem that reflects on the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic, written in the early 20th century shortly after the disaster occurred in 1912. This work falls into the category of historical poetry, capturing the emotions and events surrounding one of the most infamous maritime tragedies of modern history. The poem serves as a somber tribute to the lives lost and the heroism displayed during that fateful night. The poem recounts the Titanic's ill-fated maiden voyage across the Atlantic, celebrating its grandeur and the excitement surrounding its launch. It paints a vivid picture of the moment the ship struck an iceberg, detailing the captain's bravery, the passengers' desperation, and the noble actions of several individuals, such as Colonel Astor and Major Butt, who sought to save others. The narrative transitions from the ship's majestic beginnings to its tragic end, emphasizing the collective human experience in the face of disaster and the lingering lessons learned from this catastrophic event.
