It is 1943 and these are dark times in most parts of the world. Ship cruises are at an all time high – if you happen to be taking a cruise on a troop ship or mili...tary ship of any kind. Submarines, airplanes, and mines have made any "cruise" very dangerous.

The Oceania is a very fast, sleek passenger liner registered in Canada. Because of her speed, this ship will not travel in a convoy but will sail directly from Nova Scotia to Portsmouth, England. It is carrying $40 million in gold bars to aid in the war effort, secret messages and plans. It also carries a new set of equipment (Mark 1) designed to pinpoint enemy submarines both on or below the surface of the sea. If a ship can use this equipment to evade U-Boats, the war will be substantially reduced in duration.

Gold, espionage, and patriotism may be motives for mayhem. Whatever the reason, with this much gold on board you can be sure that danger and death stalk this ship.
