1853. In the waters off Prince Edward County. A young Irish lass and a ship’s crewman meet aboard The Ocean Wave, a luxury passenger steamship travelling between Montreal and Hamilton, on its fateful last voyage. This musical is based on historical events and is inspired by the lives lived and lost off our southern shore and the heroic County folk who rescued the survivors.
