Can you imagine boarding a ship in 1930 in New York harbor going to Hawaii? Edyth was in her 40's and single when she went on this adventure alone as I did not see any other names on manifest that are known.
She left Honolulu on the 23 Aug 1930 and boarded the USS Megantic heading to a port in Wilmington, CA. She must of been visiting someone there or doing more traveling.
I would love to have stayed in one of these rooms on a voyage.
Above are the passenger lists I found Edyth on.
I can only presume what kinda of luggage she would of traveled with and these are what I found for that era.
These were typical for the 1930's
These are the clothes they wore during this era, however I would think she also had packed and elegant evening gown.
perhaps one of these beauties
I wish I could of found a post card to sent to someone about her lovely time in Honolulu that would of been such a treasure to have.
