The story

Richard Sturges, a wealthy expatriate in Europe, buys a third-class ticket for the maiden voyage of the Titanic from a Basque emigrant. Once aboard, he seeks his runaway wife Julia and discovers that she is trying to take their two unsuspecting children, 18-year-old Annette and 13-year-old Norman, to her hometown of Mackinac Island, Michigan, to rear them as ordinary Americans rather than as privileged elitists in Europe. The passengers also include the wealthy Maude Young, social-climbing Earl Meeker, 20-year-old Purdue University tennis player Giff Rogers and George Healey, a Catholic priest who has been defrocked for alcoholism.
