Produced by David Widger
"A List To Starboard" by Francis Hopkinson Smith is a maritime adventure written in the early 20th century. This novel revolves around life aboard a dilapidated ship plagued by structural issues and the tension between a steadfast captain and the ship's management. The book likely delves into themes of duty, bravery, and the perilous nature of maritime travel as passengers and crew navigate a situation fraught with danger. The story primarily follows a determined captain who is skeptical about the seaworthiness of his ship, which is set to sail despite its many deficiencies. In the midst of the journey, tensions arise as passengers, including a nervous actor and a cattle agent, grapple with their fears and uncertainties while rumors swirl about the ship's state. As the captain and his crew face the looming threat of disaster, they must not only manage the ship's integrity but also ensure the safety of the passengers, particularly a widow and her children. The narrative crescendos in a gripping climax where the captain must make critical decisions to safeguard his passengers as they confront the perils of the sea, all while navigating interpersonal dynamics aboard the ship.
