My dad was 7 1/2 when the photos were taken - his name was
Robert John (Bob) Brooks. He was an only child and lived in Chicago with his
mom and dad. The family took a cruise to Honolulu on the SS President Wilson
departing San Francisco June 26 and arriving in Honolulu July 2, 1926. I was
able to zero in on the dates using Ancestry.com where I found the passenger
list for the ship (attached). The photographs are 8x10s and have the name of a
Chicago photo lab on the prints, so I suspect that they were taken by family
members, not cruise ship employees.
He passed away at age 92 and I am just now sorting through
all the old albums and boxes of photographs. I knew these photos existed, but
only just now came across them. –
