This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Onedin Line is a British drama that originally aired on BBC, about a Family Business of Intrepid Merchants in the Victorian era. It begins with the disgruntled Captain James Onedin setting himself up as an independent businessman. He finds that an old ship is for sail which no one will buy. Upon exploring, he learns that the ship is owned by a dissolute former naval officer, who is being tended by his middle-aged daughter, Anne. James has no money of his own but offers to pay in shares. The daughter notes that if her father dies, the shares would revert to James, because women cannot inherit according to the laws of the time. She therefore insists on a marriage of expediency to seal the deal because, after all, it is a "not uncommon arrangement". Whereupon James, appreciating a business canniness to match his own, begins to fall in love. The two marry and begin their effort to become a lord and lady of the seas. |
