Beschreibung
While the super-liner SS/United States is known for its long lists showing the names of prominent passengers, including presidents, dignitaries and famous celebrities known all over the world, this simple book tells the stories of the "common people" on board, the immigrants.
On a transatlantic voyage starting in Germany, via England to the harbor of New York City - USA, people from 4 different countries (Germany, Greece, Italy and Spain) are being randomly seated at Table "97" in the Tourist Class dining room of the ship. During this five-day journey together on a rocky ship, they share their life's stories, their anguish, despair and try to justify why they have chosen to leave everything behind in their homeland to start a new life in a new world, called: 'The Land of Opportunities' - AMERICA!
They tell about their lives in their homeland, their happy days with teary eyes and also express their biggest disappointments and frustrations in anger.
The book also describes some interesting encounters with rarely seen sea-mammals and the ship's courageous battle with a powerful, icy winter-storm, this vast North Atlantic Ocean had thrown upon its path - on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1961.
