Step back in time to the golden age of ocean travel and indulge in the excitement of a race game on the deck of a magnificent Mediterranean cruise ship. In this photograph from 1932, passengers engage in a lively deck sport that has long been a popular pastime during pleasure cruises. The sun-kissed deck of the wooden ocean liner is bustling with activity as onlookers gather around the race track, their eyes fixed on the action. At the heart of the scene, an officer, dressed in his formal uniform, acts as the clerk of the course, meticulously recording the movements of the runners. With a casual yet determined expression, a passenger throws the dice, their fate and that of their chosen horse resting on the roll.

The Mediterranean breeze carries the sounds of laughter, cheers, and the clinking of coins as the fun-filled atmosphere comes alive.
