ProvenanceCreated for use by passengers on the MV Manunda.SignificanceAn example of ephemera from the Gulf Trip cruises run by the Adelaide Steamship company.
In a decade which witnessed economic depression and world war, the Gulf Trip was South Australia’s affordable version of the modern cruise ship holiday; leisure on board the ships was a priority with organised deck games, music, sing-alongs, and writing rooms for sending postcards to loved ones. It also had a somewhat salacious reputation as a place where men and women could fraternise with relative ease. Gulf Trip vessels were stocked with a large range of souvenirs for sale to passengers to remember the cruise of a life time.DescriptionPaper luggage tag printed with:
