Years ago when I was out to sea (via the U.S Navy), I started this slightly morbid collection of songs (whether the lyrics are literal or metaphoric) dealing with disasters/peril at sea and/or shipwrecks (inspired by Burial at Sea by Metal Church). It caught on with a few of my fellow sailors who contributed. I recently found another to add (The Talisman by Iron Maiden), so I was wondering if anyone else knew of some?
Here's the list we came up with (clearly, not just metal):
