A British drama, aired from 1971-1980, about a Family Business of Intrepid Merchants in the Victorian era. It begins with the disgruntled Captain James Onedin (Peter Gilmore) setting himself up as an independent businessman. He finds that an old ship is for sale which no one will buy. Upon exploring, he learns that the ship is owned by a dissolute former naval officer, who is being tended by his middle-aged daughter, Anne. James has no money of his own but offers to pay in shares. The daughter notes that if her father dies, the shares would revert to James, because women cannot inherit according to the laws of the time. She therefore insists on a marriage of expediency to seal the deal because, after all, it is a "not uncommon arrangement". Whereupon James, appreciating a business canniness to match his own, begins to fall in love. The two marry and begin their effort to become a lord and lady of the seas.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This show can be found on DVD. All eight seasons are available as Dutch imports, uncut versions of seasons 1 to 3 have recently been released by 2entertain. The show deals with such things as empire building, intrigue, romance and, of course, seafaring in an attractively prissy Victorian way. One can actually believe that the characters lived in the late 19th century.

Belligerent Sexual Tension: Daniel and Elizabeth, particularly in later seasons. When they're both married. To other people.

Asshole Victim: Bucko Roberts in series 1. Whether he was murdered or not is disputed, but he was certainly an asshole.
