Handlung
James Onedin ist Segelschiffskapitän. Er führt in fremdem Auftrag Frachtschiffe über die sieben Meere. Sein Heimathafen ist Liverpool, man schreibt das Jahr 1860. Kapitän zu sein, bedeutet ein hartes und schweres Leben. Er trägt die Verantwortung für Schiff und Fracht, und wenn widrige Winde die Fahrt verzögern, streicht der Reeder den Bonus und die Heuer. Der 28-Jährige erkennt, dass es nur einen Weg zur persönlichen und finanziellen Unabhängigkeit gibt: Man muss ein eigenes Schiff haben, sein eigener Reeder sein! Doch James hat kein Geld...
