1:49:06
And so we are met here today...
1:49:09
facing the open sea
on three points of the compass...
1:49:12
to pay tribute to the men
who have sailed from this port...
1:49:16
and gone down to that sea,
never to return.
1:49:19
For three centuries...
1:49:21
women and children of Gloucester men
have stood upon this shore and cried:
1:49:25
"There go the ships."
1:49:26
This year, as every year...
1:49:29
there are those that have waited in vain.
1:49:32
It shall be ever thus. In years to come...
1:49:36
women of Gloucester
shall watch and wait...
1:49:39
sending their prayers and faith
to men over the horizon.
1:49:45
Men whose every day
is one of life and labor uncertain...
1:49:49
but men of strong faith in themselves...
1:49:55
in their ships...
1:49:57
and in the God who is on land and sea.
1:50:00
So to those of these men...
1:50:03
whose last resting place
is beneath the sea they loved...
1:50:06
we pay our humble tribute...
1:50:09
as we cast these wreaths and flowers...
1:50:12
upon the waters of their outgoing tide.
