Now that I wrote one in Villanelle, I had to come and take a look at yours!  This isn't the one that initially motivated me to try it, but this is really good!  I love the great depth of life that you brought to this poem, going so far as to name the ship.  I didn't realize that the first and third lines don't have to rhyme, maybe I'll put together another one of these soon!  It was a lot of fun, thanks again for introducing me to the style!

What a twist to the theme in the last stanza! Reflects your humility. Kudos.
