On the contrary, the Onedin Line dealt with a 19th century British
shipping line, which is now (I believe) a Swedish company spelled "Anedin"
with a little hole over the A. .  Whilst living in England, I became
addicted to the series, and now I can never hear the stately theme from
the adagio in "Spartacus"  without seeing a clipper ship on the waves.
A better application of the music, I suspect, than the original ballet.
