November 18th, 1908, early in the morning. A fog drifts over the river water as the sun slowly starts to rise out of the horizon. By the docks rested a commercial ship, the S.S. Willie. The crew fortunate enough, or unfortunate enough, to pilot her consisted of 6 crew members;

Peter P. Louis, the Captain. Harold S. Goatsmen, the First Mate. Marlton K. Carlson, the first Deckhand. Nicolas P. Pigston, the second Deckhand. Minerva M. Figaro, the Chambermaid. Michael T. Mouse, the new Cabin Boy.

The cargo for the ship was being loaded and watched over by Peter, a smoking pipe in his mouth as he watched the cargo slowly get moved onto the ship. Harold stood right beside him, pretending like he knows what he's watching. Marlton and Nicolas help with the heavier cargo, while Michael helped with the lighter cargo while glancing at his soon to be wife, Minerva, the Chambermaid. Minerva was cleaning the decks, making sure everything was clean as a whistle. Michael and Minerva were finally going to 'make music' together once they got on board, and the rest of the crew WILL play along.
