A fascinating diary and accompanying photograph album of a voyage on the SS Cherry Branch to Chile during Oct 11th - Nov 17th 1924. Written by Essex Blomfield. The typed diary being neatly laid out, tells of daily life aboard the vessel. Such excerpts include; a detailed list of the crew (and their nationalities!), '...it is now 10pm and the ship is still rolling. The other two passengers have been green all day and succumbed after our meal at 5.30...', a list of meals, '...engines broke down this morning and we had to stop for an hour..', various accounts of Blomfield 'mucking in' with the crew and doing daily duties, accounts of an near-fatal accident involving loading coals, and various other accounts. Makes for some fascinating reading. Along with an accompanying photograph album which shows SS Cherry Branch setting sail, and likely some of the locations mentioned within the diary. Also included is a typed ' SS Cherry Branch Rangers Vs Club De Sporto Athletico De Salaverry ' football match report, which lists Essex Blomfield as a player for Rangers. Wonderful personal account of a voyage from a bygone era. Note: from the large Fisher / Blomfield family archive consigned to this sale. The collection comprises of items from Francis ' FMB ' Marion Bates Fisher (a famous Edwardian Tennis Player ) and features items from the lives of his entire family (most notably that of his eldest daughter Esther Fisher who went on to become an international pianist, his other daughter was Lady Esther Frances Barron and his youngest daughter Alice Blomfield (nee Fisher) whose husband - Siegfried Blomfield - was a noted soldier during WWII and whose daughter (Juliet Blomfield) went on to become a ballet dancer). The family owned many properties both in the UK and New Zealand, and were extremely well travelled. Their friends and acquaintances were some of the most notable characters of our time - Ernest Shackleton , Winston Churchill , Maxine Elliott , Henry Wadsworth Longfellow , John Singer Sargent but to name a few. An incredible collection, of great social interest.
