MattR Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Those posters are great! Taking a ship to a world jamboree would be a great adventure all by itself. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSScout Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Oh, that is wonderful. 26 mile hiking around the deck of his ship. The SS Leviathan, was it ? Google is your friend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Leviathan 950 ft long, 100 feet beam. Say, a rectangle 8oofeet long by 80 feet wide, equals 1760 feet into 26 miles.....

skeptic Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Can you expand on this, maybe even have a photo of the award? Hiking on a ship? Did they have their fit-bits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
