EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of the 1920s as we take a glimpse into the High Jinks tradition on board the luxurious Canadian Pacific cruise liner, Empress of Australia. In this photograph, the dance band members are seen donning elaborate costumes and wigs, adding to the fun and enjoyment of the annual crossing of the Equator ceremony. The Empress of Australia, a symbol of elegance and sophistication, set sail from New York to Vancouver in December 1929, and this image captures a moment of pure joy and camaraderie among the crew. The tradition of High Jinks, a time-honored ritual performed when crossing the Equator, dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries, and was a way for sailors to celebrate their safe passage through the equatorial waters. The Empress of Australia was the seventh ship in the Canadian Pacific fleet and was renowned for its round cruises between Vancouver and New York, offering passengers a chance to experience the beauty of the ocean and the excitement of international travel. This photograph, taken in April 1930, is a testament to the rich history and traditions that were an integral part of ocean travel in the 1920s and 30s. As we marvel at the fancy dress and wigs of the dance band members, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era of luxury, adventure, and fun on the high seas.
