Was still the master of the longitudes.

Why hadn't I known Pratt wrote a long poem about the Titanic? Because of course he would have.

Encountered, yes, but not read. I have read Last Spike, Brebeuf, and ... ah, dang, forgot the title, a WWII poem set on a merchant marine ship. (Quick Googling isn't helping me here, drat it.)

ETA: Ah, found it: Behind the Log.

Okay, I've read Pratt's The Titanic, but why haven't I read this one?

I don't know. It's around and about.

I didn't know either, so thanks for that!

Damn. I had wanted the CEO to survive to be sued into the stone age for tech-bro recklessness and I had not wanted the kid to have died.
