Travel	1934 [2]
	sailed around the world
	From Joan Campbell: Mother’s 1934 travel with her Grandmother Matticks was a trip around the world, starting in New York and ending up in L.A. China was one of the last places they visited — I know they stopped in Ceylon, too, before that, and obviously there were European ports near the beginning. I’ll have to dig around and see if I have any more detail, such as the name of the ship they took from NYC. In the depths of the depression, few people had money to spare, but my great-grandmother somehow did, and she really wanted to take this trip - but not alone. First she asked Bobbie, who was timid about it, so as second choice, she asked Bobbie’s older sister, my mother, and even though Ginny was married by that time, she told me it took her about 5 seconds to say “yes.” They had a glorious time. Apparently my dad was a good sport about the whole thing. I have nothing to show what ship they took from New York to England, nor the dates. However, they traveled on from England to Shanghai on the Yasukuni Maru, and then from Shanghai to Los Angeles on the Tatsuta Maru. After a short visit in the L.A. area, they boarded the S.S. California (of the Panama Pacific Line) on July 23, 1934 and sailed through the Panama Canal to New York City, landing on August 6th. According to a chart in the Passenger List for that voyage, the one-way fare from L.A. to NYC in First Class was $185.00. Mother said that on each of these three ships, her grandmother would claim one day it was Ginny’s birthday, so my mother was thrown three birthday parties on the trip!
