A Married versus Single Tug of War Match on Board the R.S.M.P. Atlantis: A Delightful Scene of Camaraderie and Amusement during a 1930s Ocean Cruise This photograph captures the essence of a playful and spirited tug of war match that took place aboard the luxurious R.S.M.P. Atlantis during a cruise in the 1930s. The game, which pitted married women against their single counterparts, brought together an array of elegant and fashionable ladies, who were all in high spirits as they prepared to engage in the friendly competition. The image features two prominent women, The Hon. Mrs. Geoffrey Borwick and Lady Moira Combe, who are shown in the foreground, pulling with all their might against an unseen opponent. Their determined expressions and focused gaze convey the intensity of the moment, while their stylish attire adds an air of sophistication to the scene. In the background, the Earl and Countess of Stradbroke can be seen watching the proceedings with great interest, their hats discarded as they lean in to get a better view. The deck of the Atlantis, with its gleaming railings and pristine white paintwork, serves as the perfect backdrop for this entertaining and amusing game. The tug of war match was just one of the many forms of entertainment and amusement that passengers could enjoy during a cruise on the R.S.M.P. Atlantis. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the social scene of the time, where the rich and famous could escape the rigors of everyday life and indulge in the simple pleasures of a game, all while basking in the luxury and opulence of this magnificent ocean liner.
