Margaret's P.O.V.
I woke up to the sound of chattering as we moved trough the street's of Halifax. We were aproching the habour.
"So your awake, huh?" i heard Thomas ask.
"I've had a nice nap, thats for sure," i replied.
I looked out the window. Watching people out on the street. Most of them didn't look very wealthy. Tho they also didn't look as poor as the lower class in britain.
I ended up lost in my own thoughts as we pulled down to the pier. "Margaret? ... Mararet!" i heard im yell at me. "Were here"
Thomas open'd the door and steped out. I followed after. What we saw was a beautiful sight. The scotish liner Excalibur. She was a beautiful sight. He design was sleek and elegant. While looking sharp and fast. She was indeed still the worlds Fastest ship. Two masive funnels stood ontup of the superstructure. The size of those masvie structures made the Excalibur look fast and strong.
We walked up to the pier. Thomas showed a man our tickets. The man was in a vary dark blue uniform. He had a single golden stripe on his sleve. On his cap, golden letters spelled out "Constellation Line"
As we walked onto the gangway you could really sence the scale. Sure the ship looked large on photo's. But you could truely sence the scale as you were right next to the ship. 622ft sounds long. But standing right next to it, it looked way longer. The hull was also a very darp blue. But on the photos is was completly black. But ofcourse. no picture can show colors.
We walked in trough one of the gangway doors. A steward lead us to our room. "Room 147" It wasnt the largest room in the world. But the bed was nice, and soft. With three windows looking out onto the river below. The steward informed us that"Once we depart dinner will be ready in the 1st Class Saloon." He left cabin after that. Thomas then said "Were on our way Magaret, i can almost fell britain already" He said it with a vaque smie on his face. "I highly doubt that, Britain is still 50 miles away" I replied with a grin on my face. But somehow i felt, this wasnt going to be an ordinary voyage-
