Creator's Key Takeaways
The greatest danger turned out to be a microscopic virus that came aboard with the passengers and turned a luxury liner into an isolated steel trap in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
The ship was to cross the South Atlantic, sail along the western coast of Africa, past the Cape Verde Islands, and complete its long journey in the Canary Islands at the port of Tennere.
Three passengers died right on board. Despite all the efforts of the medics, more than eight other people were in extremely critical condition.
The ship's captain immediately imposed a strict quarantine regime, locking everyone in their cabins.
