A large ocean liner tilted steeply at the bow as it sinks into dark water at night. The stern is raised high above the surface, with two smokestacks visible, one partly submerged. The ship’s deck lights glow faintly, and debris and water splash around the breaking hull. The sky is dark with scattered stars, and the sea reflects the light near the ship.
