Americans Abroad
A few months ago on my old blog someone asked if I had any turn-of-the -century British or American colonial photos; while I couldn't find anything that really fit the bill I did come across this series of photos of some Americans travelling in the Far East (and probably the Caribbean) in the mid 1920s-early 1930s. While certainly not colonial per se, I think a certain colonial attitude is present. Only one photo is dated (1926) though the final photo is of Admiral Byrd's ship in the Panama Canal returning from the South Pole which would have been in 1930. Here's a few of the photos from the series.
If there's any particular subject matter/ genre of snapshot you'd like to see here on The Boat Lullabies please let me know- just keep in mind my collection is mainly made up of family snapshots from about 1910-1975.

Oh man, I thought it was "Americans and Broads".
