This is one of the best episodes I've seen. the storyline adequately summarises the plot. It was written by Ian Hunter who was one of the blacklisted Hollywood writers, who appears in a significant part in the movie Trumbo. The story does not really explore racial themes, though the plot revolves around the fate of two black men. However, the captain of the ship is portrayed as basically a racist, though his humanity ultimately triumphs. This episode is, as all these episodes are, terribly sexist, and this adds a laughable dimension to the drama, from the standpoint of attitudes in 2016. Most contemporary attempts to capture the swinging sixties fail in this regard. It was wonderful, To see Faye Dunaway as the guest star.
