This beautiful poem was written by Baroness Cox in honour of the vessel CILICIA and was recited by her at the Departure Festival on 28th May 2006

Historic Cilicia, with all your crew
We come today to honour you,
As you sail forth from your winter rest
To embark upon your final test.

When you leave our island, you will cross a sea
That is part of Britain's history:
Conquering Romans, Vikings, Normans came
To fight, to kill, set our land aflame.
But later, this sea kept our island free
From the might of Nazi Germany.

But Armenia's ships plied many seas
To bring trade, with peace, upon the breeze.
Cilicia, you're a symbol of Armenia's past
Of historic lands, seaboard and a kingdom vast:
You're also a symbol of Armenia's heart
With genius, science and every art:
Music, dance, drama and historic books.
 
So you've blessed this dock which overlooks
Shakespeare's Globe, cathedrals, and bridges around
And where today your many friends abound
To celebrate Armenia's spirit, which will never die
But, like the eternal phoenix, will always rise high
To create beauty from ashes, old life to new
This is your spirit, Cilicia, and we honour you.
