EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, passengers aboard the iconic ocean liner, the Berengaria, found delight in an unexpected pastime. In this photograph from 1931, we see a lively scene of deck tennis being played, a unique hand tennis game that added a touch of excitement to their transatlantic voyage. The Berengaria, a magnificent vessel of its time, offered more than just transportation across the Atlantic. With its spacious decks, passengers had ample opportunities to engage in various forms of entertainment. Deck tennis, a popular amusement, was played using a rubber ring instead of a ball and hands instead of rackets. The net, stretched across the deck, became the boundary line for this intriguing game. Spectators gathered around, their eyes glued to the action unfolding before them. Hands clenched in anticipation, they cheered and placed friendly bets on the outcome of each match. The joyous atmosphere was infectious, as passengers embraced the spirit of camaraderie and fun. This photograph is a testament to the unique experiences that ocean travel offered in the early 20th century. The Berengaria, with its elegant design and diverse range of onboard activities, epitomized the golden age of ocean liners. Deck tennis, with its simple yet engaging nature, became a cherished memory for those who sailed aboard this magnificent vessel.
