15. Ultimate Trip (1960)

Angela Lansbury are including the homicide possibilities on board a African vessel in this ensemble cast crime novelist murder mystery.

11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
This filmmaker imparts his suspense story a state-of-the-nation angle in this nerve-shredding yarn of bombs positioned on a commercial vessel, the fictional ship. What's the correct choice?

9. Total Loss (2013)
The lead actor delivers a mature exemplary performance in one-man show as a man battling to endure in the Indian Ocean after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is impaired in a impact with an errant cargo box. It's stressful enough to watch, so one can only imagine how physically gruelling it must have been for the senior performer to film.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
The lead actor does sterling work in one of his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the skipper of an commercial transport seized by Somali pirates off the geographical area. His performance is complemented by Barkhad Abdi ("I control this vessel"), delivering a remarkable initial cinematic appearance as the pirate chief in this filmmaker's suspense film, inspired by actual incidents. When the final sequence doesn't bring tears, you're emotionally detached.
