The book notes: "Several passengers lived on board the year round and Mrs Clara MacBeth lived on the ship for fifteen years, spending an estimated $20 million in fares! Caronia was one of the biggest earners of dollars for Britain in the 1950s and 1960s."

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Long enough and new enough. QPQ done, etc. But Cunard, on what ship the waiter worked for? On the Caronia or the Franconia? There is a difference on that in the lead and in the last section. And I'll suggest an additional Alt:

  - Thank you for the review and for catching this error, Paradise Chronicle (talk · contribs)! The correct ship is the Caronia. I've fixed this in the article. The ALT2 hook also looks good to me. Cunard (talk) 03:51, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for the wait. I approve all three, but the Alt2 is mainly in memory of our editor Cunard. So if there is any concern, that I suggested the hook the prepper can also go with the original Alts.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 13:50, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
