Anchors Away (Aweigh)

While the younger heirs prepare for their rites into adulthood, the older heirs enjoy the life of exploration and adventure. The most important form of travel always involves the high seas.

After bowing at Buckingham Palace, Doris Duke returns to the United States aboard the Mauretania to prepare for her debutante ball. Traveling the opposite route, Huntington Hartford avoids his cheating scandal with a summer in Europe before starting Harvard. Utilizing the private yacht Nourmahal for the Astor Expedition, older heir Vincent Astor explores the Galapagos Islands among other tropical locations and brings back specimens of all sorts.

Other people and subjects include: Nanaline Duke, Henrietta Hartford, Astor yacht Nourmahal, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jakey Astor, Kermit Roosevelt, Museum of Natural History, Cunard & White Star Line, RMS Carpathia, Titanic, RMS Lusitania, Jonathan the Tortoise, and building resilience.
