Unverifiable. The verse 'predicts' iron/steel steamships, but it belongs to Hindley's 1862 compilation (an admitted 1873 forgery). It is still often quoted as a Shipton 'hit' despite the documented forgery. The imagery fits iron ships...

"Iron in the water shall float, as easily as a wooden boat." "Żelazo na wodzie pływać będzie, tak łatwo jak drewniana łódź."
