USS Orizaba (ID-1536/AP-24) was a transport ship for the United States Navy during both World War I and World War II. She was the sister ship of Siboney but the two were not part of a ship class. During her varied career, she was also known as USAT Orizaba in service for the United States Army, as SS Orizaba in interwar civilian service for the Ward Line, and as Duque de Caxias (U-11) as an auxiliary in the Brazilian Navy after World War II. Orizaba made 15 transatlantic voyages for the Navy carrying troops to and from Europe in World War I with the second shortest average in-port turnaround time of all Navy transports. The ship was turned over to the War Department in 1919 for use as Army transport USAT Orizaba. After her World War I service ended, Orizaba reverted to the Ward Line, her previous owners. The ship was briefly engaged in transatlantic service to Spain and then engaged in New York–Cuba–Mexico service until 1939, when the ship was chartered to United States Lines. While Orizaba was in her Ward Line service, American poet Hart Crane leapt to his death from the rear deck of the liner off Florida in April 1932.

Постепенно Вольфганг понимает, что он не в 1791-м, а в 2006-м году,...
1962 год. Элиза Эспозито работает уборщицей в исследовательском аэрокосмическом центре "Оккам" в Балтиморе. Эта работа – лучшее, что смогла получить немая сирота из приюта. И если бы не подруга Зельда, да сосед Джайлз, жизнь Элизы была бы совсем невыносимой. Но однажды ночью в "Оккаме" появляется военнослужащий Ричард Стрикланд, доставивший в центр сверхсекретный объект – пойманного в джунглях...
