"And they sailed off without us!"

 

I can imagine the front page story in the Esher and Surbiton Gazette.

"Our Holiday Hell.
Mr and Mrs Edwin Falconbridge told the Gazette of the disappointment when, on their annual holiday cruise round the Bahamas, they were callously left behind on the harbour quay when a foreign er pretending to be the Captain, sailed off from Jamaica, just because they were 75 minutes late from shore excursion."

This seems to be the "SS Queen of Bermuda",  She had an interesting life, including the ship having the distinction of being the only ocean liner to have sailed with one, two and three funnels.
