I only lack 3 words. I'm sure I've never read this, and anyway, I had to give back my HoMe books (which I only had borrowed) so I can't look it up, even if I knew where...

Our ships go now without the wind,
and many are made of --t-- that s---r-t- hidden ro--s (rooms?)
and they sink not in gale or storm;
but they are no longer fair to look upon.

sounds somehow like Numenoreans...

I just have to keep guessing to find out the material the ships are made of...

How about A ?

It's one of my favourite quotes from the Lost Road.

(it can't be rooms because of the double-o, and one of the other words you guessed is wrong.)
