The novelist and poet Conrad Aiken was in his ancestral city of Savannah,
Georgia when he saw a ship named Cosmos Mariner. The name struck him, since
cosmos means universe. He looked up the vessel in the Shipping News. Beside the
name Cosmos Mariner it read "Destination Unknown." Aiken liked that
so much he had it put on his tombstone in Savannah's Bonaventure Cemetery.

Destination Unknown.
It's rather sad, isn't it? Most of us want to know what our destination is going to be when we leave the harbor of this earthly life. And we can!
