The role-play takes place aboard the RMS Titanic during her maiden voyage in April 1912, following the lives of Frederick Barrett, a stoker working deep within the ship, and Harold Bride, the young wireless operator stationed above deck. Despite belonging to completely different worlds aboard the ship, the two gradually find themselves crossing paths. Barrett is accustomed to the heat, grime, exhaustion, and rough camaraderie of the boiler rooms, while Harold spends his days surrounded by messages from the outside world, technology, and passengers who barely realize the work being done to keep the ship moving. Their first interactions are relatively ordinary—perhaps a brief conversation in a corridor, an exchanged joke, or Harold wandering somewhere he technically shouldn’t be—but those small encounters slowly develop into a genuine friendship.
