1. Title: A Refreshing Dip in the Pacific: Swimming Pool Aboard a NYK Line Ship, Circa 1920s 2.. Step back in time and immerse yourself in the luxurious world of ocean travel during the Roaring Twenties. This photograph showcases a swimming pool aboard a ship of the renowned Japanese Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) as it sailed the Pacific Ocean between California and Japan. The image, taken circa 1920s, reveals a stunning scene of passengers enjoying a leisurely swim, basking in the sun, and engaging in playful activities, such as diving, aboard this magnificent ocean liner. The pool, adorned with elegant Art Deco-inspired tiles, is a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the era. Swimsuits of the time, with their high waistlines, long sleeves, and modest coverage, reflect the conservative fashion trends of the period. The bathers, both men and women, seem to be fully embracing the experience, their laughter and joy evident in their expressions. The NYK Line, a pioneer in transpacific shipping, was known for its commitment to providing passengers with the utmost comfort and luxury. The presence of a swimming pool on board was a groundbreaking innovation, setting the company apart from its competitors and attracting a clientele seeking a more refined and indulgent travel experience. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of ocean travel and the fascinating fusion of Eastern and Western influences that characterized the Oriental and Californian luxury liners of the 1920s.
