EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the most exhilarating and unexpected form of entertainment at sea during the Roaring Twenties - Greyhound Racing on board the iconic RMS Berengaria! As the transatlantic passenger liner sliced through the waves, carrying smart society across the Atlantic, the deck came alive with the thrill of the chase. Wooden greyhounds, meticulously crafted and mounted on sticks, took center stage as eager spectators gathered around, their eyes fixed on the action. The year was 1930, and the 30s were in full swing, bringing with them a newfound appreciation for fun and amusement. Greyhound racing, with its rich history and allure, had become the perfect pastime for passengers seeking a diversion from their oceanic voyage. The rules of the game were simple: each participant would roll a dice, and the number rolled would determine the direction and pace of their greyhound. The first greyhound to cross the finish line, marked by a small wooden post, would be declared the winner. The excitement was palpable as the wooden runners leaped forward, their tiny paws barely touching the deck, their determination unwavering. The deck of the Berengaria transformed into a bustling racecourse, complete with deckchairs filled with spectators, their voices rising in anticipation with each roll of the dice. The atmosphere was electric, a perfect blend of camaraderie, excitement, and the thrill of the unknown. As the sun set over the vast expanse of the ocean, the greyhound racing on board the Berengaria continued, a testament to the spirit of fun and adventure that defined the 1930s. This unique and captivating moment in maritime history remains an intriguing glimpse into the past, where the thrill of the race transcended the boundaries of land and sea.
