The ship creaks and groans like the ice up there.

Then the ship groaned about her, and the lights came back on.

As if on cue, the ship shifted and groaned.

The ship creaked and groaned as they all considered her words.

All around them, the ship groaned and wheezed, but the cursed thing flew.

The huge ship groaned and sank back evenly into the water.

The ship thumped into another wave, groaned, and took flight again.

The ship shook, shuddered, groaned and came to a dead stop.

The whole ship groaned at the impact, like a living animal.

When it was done, the ships fair groaned, riding low in the river.
