"A Fantasy of Mediterranean Travel" by Samuel G. Bayne is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This work recounts a voyage aboard the ship "King of Cork" as it embarks on a leisurely cruise through the Mediterranean, visiting various enchanting locations. The author vividly captures the experiences of quirky passengers and describes fascinating landscapes, cultures, and historical sites, showcasing the charm and eccentricities of Mediterranean travel. The opening portion introduces the setting and atmosphere aboard the steamer, where a diverse assembly of characters is introduced, each with their own peculiarities. Bayne sets the tone with a blend of humor and keen observation, detailing the ship's departure from New York, the nature of the passengers—which include an assortment of oddballs and types reminiscent of a Dickensian novel—and an amusing anecdote about the ship's adventures.
