Voyage Across the Pacific: Leisure and Entertainment Aboard (silent, 1930s)
This 1930s travelogue captures life aboard a Pacific Ocean cruise, featuring a mix of relaxation, recreation, and cultural entertainment. Passengers enjoy various deck activities, including games like potato races and a “slenderizing” workout for women. Children splash joyfully in the ship’s pool, while the Japanese crew delight guests with a sumo wrestling exhibition, blending tradition with entertainment. The film concludes with a reflective moment as a passenger gazes at the vast sea, accompanied by the poetic musings of Lawrence Hope, encapsulating the serene and lively spirit of crossing the Pacific.
