"Spar boxing" on the CARPATHIA, 1908

photographic print

Photograph of two passengers sitting on a spar, apparently a deck game where they are hitting each other with bags or pillowcases full of something. The caption says "Mr. Downs vanquished by Miles," and from the passenger list they must be Stuart Downes and Miles Forwood. There is a crowd of passengers watching. From an album of photos from a 1908 voyage to the Mediterranean on the CARPATHIA.
