THE SCORE

MID-ATLANTIC, LATE DECEMBER 1932

To be read aloud by the most aristocratic person at the table…

You are a week out of Southampton en route to New York. Your

42,000-ton vessel, Morning Star Lines’ new lagship Leviathan ,

ploughs through these frigid waters at 29 knots. On this luxury

cruiser’s maiden voyage, the Captain has been directed to quietly con-

tend for the glorious Blue Riband — the accolade awarded to the fastest

crossing of the Atlantic Ocean.

Topside, you enjoy a salty Gibson while pulling the heavy double wool

of your coat closer to your body. Friends make merry with lively talk

amongst themselves — it’s a din barely overheard above the hammer-

ing engine and thresh of the ship’s mighty propellers. Spray from the

bow’s cleave manages to catch your cheek even this far aft. You smile,

playing the cocktail’s onion lightly on your tongue. Your gaze draws

across the dull, slate waters wondering at the marvel of it all: New

beginnings? Maybe this time things will be different? Perhaps your

dreams are within reach? What could possibly go wrong?
