How does Hardy use personification in the poem, The Convergence of the Twain?

Personified throughout, the Titanic is very much the main character of Hardy's poem. Its construction, rich appurtenances and ultimate wreckage are described in a largely melancholic tone across all eleven stanzas. On several occasions, the ship is personified as an impressive and "graceful" woman (23). 'She' goes unwittingly to her desperate fate without any trace of individual agency. Her arch-enemy and "sinister mate" is, of course, the Iceberg (19). Just as Genesis describes God's creation of Adam and Eve as an eternal pair, so "The Convergence of the Twain" points to a predetermined "consummation" of Titanic and Iceberg (33).
