Death was always a ship mate as Captain Beasley set sail for easy fishing in the North Sea. The chance of a fatality was 14 times greater than that of a coal miner at the start of the 20th century. Could the sea be a mistress that he could not forget? Gladly, this Yankee would give it all up for the Belle of Grimsby. However, she has many admirers, including Sir Henry Draker and the adoring fans of the London stage. He would give up the sea and become a farmer if she would only be his. Shipping out on the "Angel Girl" to forget her, however, backfires when he discovers the unwilling passengers aboard and their true destination.
