Vintage Horse Race Program Cruise Ship P&O Ranchi 1927 Peninsular Oriental Line

Description: Vintage Cruise Ship MenuP&O Line (which stands for Peninsular & Oriental)The line was founded in 1837 making it the oldest cruise line in the worldCurrently owned by Carnival Cruise LinesShip - CY Ranchi (CY stands for "Cruising Yacht")Programme of Ranchi Steward's Cup (under Marine Rules as sanctioned by Father Neptune)Thursday June 16, 1927 Price for this program was one shilling. It appears to be entirely for the "horse race" and refers to the proceeds of the sale of the "Race Cards" going to charities. On the front is a list of the Judges and Stewards as well as a list of "The Ranchi Girls".On the inside and the back cover are the details of the heats, with each Heat including the name of the horse, its colors as well as its siring (these were wooden horses, so this level of detail seems unnecessarily bizarre)On the back there is a reference to the rules saying that the horses need to maintain a straight line down the middle of the tape, and "if she runs off the course, i.e., cuts through the margin of the tape, the "horse" must return and re-enter the course at the place where she ran off." This seems to indicate this was NOT a roll of the dice movement as seems common. These were actually being reeled in by the Ranchi Girls - a reference I found elsewhere online when researching Racecards. SS Ranchi was Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company "R"-class steam ocean liner that was built in 1925 and scrapped in 1953. She had berths for 600 passengers. Named after the city in India, the SS Ranchi regularly sailed between England and Bombay, India until it was conscripted for military service on 27 August 1939 - interestingly, that was one month prior to the official start of WWII so they knew something was coming... On 16 December 1943 she was attacked by the aircraft bomber Heinkel He 111 where one bomb went straight through the ship before exploding. The ship was returned to P&O in 1947 and became an emigrant ship traveling between the UK and Australia until being scrapped in 1953
