A couple of thoughts:
Who is operating the ship? The
Union, the Confederacy, the British? I mention this as it is likely to be
important as to the tone of shipboard life. Furthermore, what type of
company is operating it? A sinister branch of Dr. Hellstrom's empire,
Smith and Robards, or some very ordinary but aristocratic company, say Cunard
(btw, if it Cunard, their ships names all ended in "-ia" up until the
Queen Mary in the 1930s)? Finally, what is the company's attitude towards
firearms?
What type of party are you intending
to recruit? Are they going to be all dyed-in-the-wool gunslinger/cowboys
spittin' tobaccy on the carpets? (Fish out of water) or are there going to
be more civilised types in the mix?
