Up on the deck, dozens of university students played cards. In the first-class cabins below, passengers watched the movie “Air Force One.” In an overcrowded third-class compartment, a teenage soccer team on its way to a tournament belted out songs. All were aboard a ferry named the Joola when...

Ran across this on Netflix and thought you guys might appreciate it. Mostly 1901-1904. Quality is great. You can spend hours poring over freeze-frames looking at fashions, ads (Bovril!) and people. There's also a little movie aboard some Cunard ship of the era...
