- Synopsis:
From 1971 to 1980, millions followed the drama and spectacle of this lavishly-filmed television series: the glorious opening credits set to music from Khachaturian's Spartacus; the magnificent sight of tall ships under full sail and, of course, the trials and triumphs, loves and betrayals, adventures and disasters of James and the rest of the Onedin family. Already a seasoned seafarer at 28, James Onedin is determined to command his own ship and has found just the vessel - the schooner Charlotte Rhodes - even if it means marrying a woman he does not love. With the assistance of his loyal Captain, Mr Baines, Onedin soon proves a shrewd operator: battling storms, mutinies and the bitter rivalry of his former employer, Callon. However, back in Liverpool, he has other distractions, including his volatile sister, Elizabeth, who is courting both seafarer Daniel Fogarty and the wealthy Albert Frazer - and now reveals that she is pregnant... - Actors:
