Cabin B-13 began as a radio play by mystery author John Dickson Carr, airing on CBS's Suspense on March 16, 1943. The episode was rebroadcast later that year, and again as a separate program -- not part of the Suspense anthology series -- in 1948; it also received a special broadcast for screen executives early in 1949 as they considered filming it. The show was also used as the premiere episode of the British radio series Appointment with Fear in 1943. The script was reprinted in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine in 1944. It was televised in 1958 on the television version of Suspense, and in 1959 on Climax. Canada's CBC aired it as an episode of the program The Unforeseen. In 1992, it was the basis of a made-for-television movie, Dangerous Crossing.
In 1948, Carr used the ;program as the basis of a radio series which ran from July 5, 1948 through January 2, 1949, as a replacement for Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts, again on CBS. The radio series was directed by John Dietz, and all scripts were written by Carr. Here, Doctor John Fabian (Arnold moss, in all but four episodes, in which he was replaced by Alan Hewitt), ship's surgeon on the luxury liner Maurevania, would relate tales of mystery and adventure concerning various passengers of the ship as it made port in different areas of the world. Cabin B-13 was Fabian's own cabin.
