Three children playing a board game possibly on SS ORMISTON, 1927-1939

    So they did play more games on board ships than whacking each other off a greasy pole ...

    PP, That may explain why the dining room chairs are so sticky?

    pellethepoet Highranger Wow, I hadn't seen those photographs. Interesting tradition. Thanks for sharing them!
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    pellethepoet you might be interested in the Australian War Memorial's pillow-fight-on-a-pole photos. Apparently a Navy tradition! bit.ly/PjmdEy

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Fascinating! A flapper in our collection! Fantastic quasymody :) There's another blog there for sure. Interesting, that newspaper report saying she was Chinese, must have been them just assuming that was the case and getting it wrong. Wish we had a film like the Anna Chang one. I wonder where the Anna Chang one came from anyway. So exciting that I have been distracted for the past hour doing my own searches :)

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Hmmm, I get the sense that was their promo tactic. Unless of course she really was well known, and the records about her just haven't been digitised...Although I can't help but feel if she really was such a raging success, wouldn't the Australian newspapers have given her more of a mention?
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] I think it must be her, after all, how many Japanese flappers did they have on that one ship at that particular time? I love the risque element to it all, what a fascinating discovery :)
