PCruzer Posted September 12, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I have an odd question. Anyone who went to the Mariner's Brunch on 9/1 on the Eurodam - In the hardcover book given in the "goodie bag," did anyone notice on page 112 there is a picture of people sitting in the steamer chairs? There are 2 women who appear to have a live seal sitting on their laps. It is the strangest picture. Is the seal super-imposed? Could they do that back then? Anyone else notice this?

sail7seas Posted September 12, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2008 :D Funny...... I just looked at the picture and know what you mean. I am quite sure it isn't a living beast but have no clue what it is. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaofami Posted September 12, 2008 #7 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Actually, lady number one and lady number both have them in their laps. They look like studded animals.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted September 12, 2008 #8 Share Posted September 12, 2008 No, I don't have them electronically. I only have the actual book and no digital camera with which to photo it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCruzer Posted September 12, 2008 Author #9 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I only have the book, also. I looked at the picture with a magnifier - very strange! Certainly looks like live seals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytjie Posted September 12, 2008 #10 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Does anyone know how to scan a picture into a post? I'll try to scan it tonight at home. I vaguely remember flipping through the book and seeing something strange and I think it was that photo. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhannah Posted September 12, 2008 #12 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Must have been a real go-getter of a Naturalist onboard that cruise! The closest seal doesn't appear to be phased by the lady's cigarette! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekerr19 Posted September 12, 2008 #13 Share Posted September 12, 2008 That is hysterical!!!! What the???? They brought their pet seals!!!!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakalina Posted September 12, 2008 #14 Share Posted September 12, 2008 If one looks at the "flippers" they are obviously stuffed seals. It's probably real seal skin stuffed and used for, Oh, I don't know maybe lap warmers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinjudy Posted September 12, 2008 #15 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Oh that would explain why it looks a bit off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhannah Posted September 13, 2008 #21 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Another possible use, from the way they're placed, is to keep the ladies' skirts from blowing up in the wind ... or the chilly breeze getting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that is what the line used to give in a goodie bag in those cruises. Hard to find a goodie bag big enough for the seal though. :D That is a funny picture. Even if it is stuffed I wouldn't want my picture taken with it. A heavy live seal would crush me. Looking at old pictures like that is always a treat isn't it. I love the old pictures of people in the formal areas too. Anything that captures the romantic periods of time grab me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
