( The RMS Etruria was an amazing ship. It offered ornate first class rooms, separate dining for the first class passengers, a music room, a gentleman's smoking room and even the unheard of luxury of refrigeration machinery, but what amazed most people was that it was capable of traveling at a stunning 19 knots. That's what most the passengers discussed while strolling on the promenade the first day on board. Standing alone, perhaps unaffected by the ship's majesty, a tall gentleman leaned haphazardly against the rail watching with tired detachment. )
