Description | Dining Saloon in a Gale, Atlantic Ocean, 1879. |
Details |
A typical scene in the dining saloon of a ship, experiencing some fairly heavy weather in the Atlantic Ocean, 1879. This image was originally captioned: 'There's Many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip'. The Captain, at the head of the table, appears none too worried but the passengers are desperately trying to hold onto their drinks, soup and food. An interesting feature appears to be a gimballed drinks tray fixed above the table.
