A black and white photograph of passengers playing shuffleboard on a ship, May 22, 1930. Two women are at the center and wear sleeveless tops and short pants. They hold shuffleboard sticks and walk toward the game area, which is at the bottom of the foreground. Two boys wearing the same type of clothing stand at the right. One holds a shuffleboard stick and the other has his left hand in his pocket and waves towards the camera with his right. A man standing at the foot of a stairway is at the right of the back. A girl in a short dress is at the left and at the far left is a woman sitting on a wicker chair. An awning covers the top of the playing area and in the background are many deck chairs. The back is stamped with the word, "VELOX," where there is also another stamp that reads, "WEBCO PRINT / MAY 2, 1930 / MADE IN SAN JOSE." The photograph was taken during Agnes Temple's honeymoon and was housed in her album, which is item 96.7.94.1, along with many other photographs which span 96.7.1.1-.93.1. Contact sheets 2000.159.1.1-.8 show the original positioning of the images within the album. With only light creases, the object is in good condition.
