  • "The Changing Pacific Ocean in 1957 and 1958"
    PART II SYMPOSIUM ON "THE CHANGING PACIFIC OCEAN IN 1957 AND 1958" Edited by OSCAR E. SETTE, JOHN D. ISAACS Rancho Santa Fe, California lune 2-4, 1958 DEDICATION This Symposium is dedicated to TOWNSEND CROMWELL and BELL M. SHIMADA associates in research of many of the participants in this Symposium, who lost their lives, June 2, 1958, in an airplane crash near Guadalajara, Mexico, while en route to join the research vessel Horizoib to make further observations on the changing conditions in 1958. PREFACE In presenting these discussions of the surprising events of the years of change, the editors have attempted to retain the informality of the Symposium, altering the speakers’ words only for the purposes of clarity. In so doing, the editors have, of necessity, preserved not only informality, but a conspicuous irregularity of style. A few of the papers were read, some given from extensive notes, and some essentially extemporaneous. All unprepared papers were recorded as given, and all papers and discussions were submitted to the authors for review and revision. Some authors saw fit to delete vernacular expressions, others permitted them to remain. The editors have striven to see only that the thought was expressed clearly, and have made no attempts to alter the authors’ decisions in regard to the choice of degrees of formality. Impossible to retain in full was the spirit of a group of outstanding investi- gators from a wide range of disciplines attempting to understand the message from the incoherent mutterings of nakure stirring with obscure excitations. Following the Symposium the changes in the sea and atmosphere have con- tinued to manifest themselves in various waywthe authors and the editors have resisted the temptation to liberally sprinkle the presentations with per- tinent footnotes of these subsequent changes.

  • “Imperial Views: Kodachrome and the 1930S World Cruise”
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Essex Research Repository The Voyager’s Sublime: Kodachrome and Pacific Tourism Jeffrey Geiger In: Discourses of Imperialism in the Pacific: The Anglo-American Encounter, edited by Michelle Keown, Andrew Taylor, and Mandy Treagus. New York: Routledge, 2016. The ‘round the world’ pleasure cruise is commonly traced to American tour operator Frank Clark, who chartered the Cleveland to sail from New York in October 1909, completing the circumnavigation in just over three months.1 By the late 1920s and into the 1930s, the world cruise would become entrenched in the popular imagination, with unprecedented numbers embarking on luxury passenger ships such as the RMS Empress of Britain; cruising for leisure purposes had “come into its own as a desirable tourist experience.” 2 A brochure for the British Red Star liner Belgenland describes the journey’s allure, conjuring images of “untold delights of the seven seas and a thousand and one fascinating sights and scenes among the colorful peoples of many strange and distant lands.”3 The Pacific was the widest oceanic span of the journey, with crossings that included stopovers at ports that had long underpinned imperial trade networks.4 The establishment of Matson Lines’ famous “white ships” (the S.S. Malola was launched in 1927 and the S.S. Mariposa in 1931) linked the east and west coasts of the US (via the Panama Canal) to Hawai‘i, Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia, reflecting mass tourist demands and substantially increasing tourist traffic through Pacific ports (the ‘white ships’ perhaps echoing Theodore Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet of battleships—also painted white—sent to circumnavigate the globe in 1907 in a show of US military prowess).5 The period between the wars was transitional, with European colonial networks still entrenched and US expansionism about to exert its greatest impact.
