The swimming pool on board the Berengaria

A "Bath Club" at Sea: the modern liner's land-like buildings. Roman luxury aboard a giant liner crossing the Atlantic: a swimming bath modelled on that of Pompeii built of tiles and marble, with massive pillars and a glass roof. The swimming pool on board the Cunard ocean liner, Berengaria measuring 64 feet long by 41 feet wide, constructed of tiles and marble with mosaic work and fittings of bronze. Round the sides is a colonnade of massive pillars, supporting a glass roof which rises to the height of three decks above the bottom of the tank. Over the dressing rooms was a wide, upper gallery for spectators. A continuous cascade of fresh water entered the pool from a cascade at one end. The depth was graduated and 9 feet at its deepest. The ILN comments on the air of modern liners being akin to a palatial building on land and likens the pool to a similar one on board the White Star liner Majestic. Date: 1922

Outfits for an ocean cruise

Suggestions for ensembles to be worn when boarding a liner for a cruise or transatlantic voyage, all from Debenham and Freebody. From left, the lady on the gang-plank is wearing a trim suit carried out in blue silk with a matching jacket piped with white. Next is a smart, brown suede golf jacket with a striped, knitted woollen collar and cuffs - a well made suede skirt to match. Then a serviceable costume for going ashore of a dress in navy blue jersey with hand-knitted revers and cuffs of green, white and red wool. Finally, dresses of washing silk with matching coat are as practical as they are smart. The one pictured on the right is of heavy white crepe de Chine. Date: 1932
