Young Red Haired Girl Shows Off On The Modern Deckchair
|
During the golden age of ocean liner travel, the deckchairs upon actual ships' decks were sometimes reserved for particular passengers for whom crew would attach a paperboard name tag to the wicker seat-back. Such a tag is visible on an empty deckchair near the center in a famous 1912 photo showing survivors of the RMS Titanic disaster after rescue while they rest on the deck of RMS Carpathia. The same system was in use aboard Carpathia two years later; a reservation tag is visible on the empty deckchair in the lower right of a 1914 photo.
The available deckchair models range from simple wooden constructions to luxury models with electrically adjustable seating positions.
