"Mrs Singleton & Jascha Heifetz", by the pool, 1921
Jascha Heifetz, the" violinist of the century", had just completed a highly successful tour lasting several months of Australia and New Zealand, and was heading back to America. He would disembark at Hawaii and join his extended family, on another boat, for the final leg.
Frederica Singleton, was married to Charles H Singleton, who was also on board but not identified in any photograph. He was an Australian, from Melbourne, and she was born in California. He was the "secretary and manager" of the Claremont Country Club in Oakland, California, and later the San Francisco Engineers Club. She was a 30 year old "housewife". Elsewhere her name is spelt "Fredericka".
Most ocean voyages at this time featured a day of frivolities associated with either the crossing of the equator, the international date line, a particular stretch or ocean, or similar.
