EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a delightful scene aboard a Red Star Line passenger ship in 1907. Passengers are seen enjoying a moment of leisure and camaraderie on the deck, surrounded by the vast expanse of the ocean. The focal point of this image is a group of men and women engrossed in an entertaining game called peg quoits, also known as the Ring Game. The atmosphere is one of relaxation and fresh air, with everyone dressed in elegant Edwardian attire. As they engage in friendly competition, sipping tea from delicate cups adds to the charm and sophistication of this pastime. The vibrant colors bring life to this snapshot from history, showcasing the joyous moments shared onboard during long voyages. Although we do not know who captured this beautiful moment or who these individuals were, their enjoyment serves as a testament to how people sought entertainment during sea travel at that time. This image provides us with a glimpse into both the shipping industry's heyday and society's pursuit of leisure activities amidst their journeys. As we admire this postcard-like print today, it reminds us that even amidst technological advancements in transportation, there is still something magical about being out on open waters – where games like peg quoits can transport us back to simpler times when connecting with fellow passengers was part of the voyage itself.
