Short stories set in a vanished world -- the transatlantic steamship. Today, a cruise is a vacation in and of itself, and ocean-crossing passengers are mostly well-to-do, but in the days when cruise lines were merely a means of transportation overseas, a broad mix of people came together aboard ship.

This collection forms an eclectic mix, too. Quality varies, but most of the stories are worth reading.

This release could have used better proofreading.
