In the summer of 1913, a family settles into third class aboard the RMS Olympic, crossing the Atlantic beneath electric lights and the steady hum of enormous engines. In their small cabin, a little girl has begun collecting the oranges served at dinner.
If you drift off somewhere in the middle of the ocean, nothing will have been missed.

Tonight: We spend the quiet middle days of an Atlantic crossing aboard one of the great ocean liners of the Edwardian age. There are white-painted cabins, freshly baked bread in the dining saloon, and long afternoons watching the ship's wake disappear into the sea. We walk the corridors of Scotland Road, sit among passengers from distant countries, and listen to a little music in the third-class general room. As evening settles over the Atlantic, the passengers return to their berths, and the gentle vibration of the engines carries on through the night.
