The Onedin Line (Set 2)
Whether on storm-tossed seas, in his native Liverpool, or exploring exotic ports of call, James Onedin is a magnet for turmoil and trouble. This second series of the award-winning BBC production captures both the exhilaration and dangers of life aboard 19th-century Britain's magnificent sailing ships as it explores the personal demons of its principal characters. The action never flags as our hero confronts labor strife, yellow fever, dubious business deals, and always, his strong-willed wife, Anne. Over 3 hours on 4 DVDs.
