EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1931, three golfers named Boyer, Boomer, and Horton Smith are seen enjoying an unexpected round of golf on the deck of the luxurious ocean liner, SS Berengaria. The trio seems to be in high spirits as they take turns practicing their swings, their concentration unbroken by the gentle rocking of the ship or the vast expanse of the ocean before them. The Berengaria, a renowned transatlantic vessel known for its elegance and sophistication, was a popular mode of transportation for wealthy passengers crossing the Atlantic. As they sailed towards their destination, these golfers, presumably weary of the limited amusements available on board, decided to make the most of the spacious deck and its uninterrupted view of the sea. Their makeshift golf course, marked by small piles of sand or towels, serves as a testament to their resourcefulness and the sporting spirit that pervaded the Berengaria's passenger community. The absence of golf balls in the image suggests that they may have run out, adding an element of playful challenge to their impromptu game. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of leisure and adventure that characterized ocean travel during the golden age of liners. The golfers' determination to keep their sport alive, even in the most unlikely of settings, is a reminder of the enduring appeal of golf and the lengths people go to for entertainment while on the move.
