Per recommendation of the MHRS, I looked at "I Am A Passenger"  ( on the passenger liner "Orcades" of the Orient Line ).
Starting at 03:00 in, some nice radio room scenes with a stack of Marconi Atalanta receivers, bug key, etc.   
( Nice looking receiver; I wonder what it weighs, tho? )
Nice shots to do screen grabs from and maybe save. 
What a civilized way to travel. Not much diversity in the crowd; someone must be doing the heavy lifting though. 
Quite a bit more plush than my two crossings of the Atlantic on MSTS ships, where the entertainment was a lounge with
a few sofas, a score of paperback books, an old piano, and occasionally, mostly  incomprehensible to me, piped in BBC from the
radio shack. Oh, and warm salt water showers, for a guaranteed bad hair day.
