Surf riders, Honolulu (LOC)

  • Jan (LOC PP) said:
    In 1913, English artist Charles W. Bartlett began what was supposed to be a trip around the world. After leaving Japan, he and his wife scheduled a brief stop in Hawaii. They abandoned the rest of their travel plans and settled in Honolulu.

Bondi Beach

    The State Library also have this photo. Their date is March 1937. There are an awful lot of overdressed people for a day at the beach! And is that a pipe band in the centre of the arena?
  • pellethepoet said:
    Aha! It is a pipe band. Check out this newsreel
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    It sure is a pipe band! We've replaced this with a larger version so you can zoom in. The film clip you added is very interesting. Dated c.1929.

    There are some trams at the North Bondi terminus (the first version - not excavated). I can see part of an O class and what looks like a coupled set of the squarer Ps. I think that they are in the post 1934, cream and green colours which would rule out 1929. I recollect that the modernised Campbell Pde and the new North Bondi terminus date from Dec 1929.

    The Duke. Father of modern day surfing. Rode waves for 2 miles off Waikiki in the early 1900's.

    There is also a statue of the Duke at Freshwater Beach, Sydney, Australia near where he introduced surfboard riding to Australia. Great photo!
