Anecdotes
"Specie" is an old banking term denoting money in the form of coins or bullion rather than notes. On a ship, the Specie Room is a strong room specifically for storage of this. Usually found at the bottom of the vessel, it is then surrounded by cargo, making it inaccessible during the voyage until the cargo is unloaded on arrival.

Something different

I'm not sure whether this was based on a Victorian/Edwardian mystery as it seems to me to be an entirely new screenplay. It's about the theft of gold bullion on a ship and the purser who has to figure out what happened to it. The plot feels involved and Ronald Fraser is excellent as the lead.
