1. Title: Blindfold Boxing Match on Board the Berengaria: An Unforgettable Amusement for Transatlantic Passengers in 1931. In the golden age of ocean travel, the Berengaria ocean liner, a symbol of luxury and adventure, offered more than just a means of transportation across the Atlantic. This photograph showcases an extraordinary event that took place on board the Berengaria in 1931: a blindfold boxing match. Passengers, dressed in their finest attire, gathered on the ship's deck to witness this unique and thrilling amusement. The boxing ring, set up temporarily for the occasion, was a sight to behold. Two blindfolded boxers, wearing life jackets for safety, faced each other, ready to engage in a battle of strength and agility. The audience, both intrigued and entertained, watched with bated breath as the boxers swung and missed, their fists guided only by instinct and feel. The atmosphere was electric, filled with the anticipation of every punch and the excitement of the unknown outcome. The blindfold boxing match was not just an amusement for the passengers; it also served as a source of friendly competition and betting. The wagers added an extra layer of excitement to the event, making it a memorable experience for all involved. The transatlantic voyage on the Berengaria was more than just a journey; it was an adventure filled with unexpected surprises and unforgettable moments. This photograph, taken in 1931, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when ocean travel was an experience like no other. The image captures the spirit of adventure, the thrill of the unknown, and the camaraderie of passengers aboard the magnificent Berengaria.
