A Young Mexican Around the World in Eighty Days

Departing early February 1913, returning in the first days of May, Alberto Nunes jr was travelling with his father, Alberto Nunes and his portable camera. He recorded decisive moments of the trip, on the Union Pacific train, aboard the trans-Pacific liners SS Mongolia and Tenyo Maru — on 2nd class, with Chineses immigrants on steerage — some impressive night fire in Manila, buying toys in a Japaneses shop and the early sewing machines shops and offices. A member of the Nunes family was working for the growing Singer Company : after Yokohama, Uncle Luis had became a Singer representative in Manila when he had visibly a terrible accident.

The e-bulletins present articles as well as selections of books, albums, photographs and documents as they have been handed down to the actual owners by their creators and by amateurs from past generations.

The album with 89 vintage prints is vailable at the price of 2225 euros, PayPal is accepted

Aboard SS Mongolia, 21 February 1913

“SS Mongolia was a 13,369-ton passenger-and-cargo liner originally built for Pacific Mail Steamship Company in 1904. She later sailed as USS Mongolia (ID-1615) for the U.S. Navy, as SS President Fillmore for the Dollar Line and as SS Panamanian for Cia Transatlantica Centroamericano

Originally laid down as Minnelora on 7 June 1902 in Shipway J at New York Shipbuilding in Camden, New Jersey for the Atlantic Transport Line, she was purchased by E. H. Harriman's Pacific Mail Steamship Co. for its San Francisco-Far East service, and renamed Mongolia.

The 616-foot vessel was launched on July 25, 1903 and christened by Miss Lucy Bell Kennedy of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A sister ship, Manchuria, was ordered at the same time and delivered three months after Mongolia. Both ships were used on the trans-Pacific service (Hong Kong, Hawaii, San Francisco) from 1904 to 1915. The accommodations of both ships reflected the importance of Chinese emigration to shipping lines of that era: 350 first-class, 68 second-class, and 1,300 steerage.”

We can imagine the album open when the travellers where telling magical travel recollections to the young ones. Some pencil notes, verso and ink captions, recto supported the failing or rather transforming memories, human transmission is always in progress, opposed to the dry exigence of machine brains.

The same image of Alberto, papá, avuelo, father, grandfather, travelling in a “Koruma”, Yokohama, Japan, bears three different dates in three occasions !

The album contains 89 original photos by Alberto junior, printed on postcard papers, tpgether with some printed views and a Japanese portrait with the curious note: “Geisha que attendo a mi abuelo Alberto J. Nunes en una casa del YoshiWara”.

Returning on the Tenyo Maru, 14 April 1913

SS Tenyo Maru (天洋丸 Tenyōmaru) of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha Steamship Co. (TKK) was a Japanese ocean-going passenger liner completed in 1908 by the Mitsubishi Dockyard & Engine Works, Nagasaki, Japan. It had accommodation for 275 first-class, 5 second-class and 800 steerage passengers, and could carry over 8000 tons of cargo. The steerage class had an opium den for Chinese passengers.

Tenyo Maru was launched in 1908 from Nagasaki, Japan, as the first Turbine Steam Ship built for trans-Pacific passenger service. It made its first arrival in San Francisco on June 30, 1909, from Manchuria, the first of many crossings which brought immigrants from Asia through the United States Immigration Station, Angel Island. Tenyo Maru was the first turbine driven steamship ever in the port of San Francisco.

Tenyo Maru was the ocean liner that carried the Japanese Friendship Dolls from Yokohama to San Francisco in 1927.

It also carried opium and contraband. When Tenyo Maru arrived in San Francisco on July 9, 1929, passenger Sui'e Ying Kao, wife of the Chinese Vice Consul, requested that her baggage be passed and delivered at once, claiming diplomatic immunity from Customs inspection. The agents did not agree, broke the seals, opened the trunks, and found 2,300 cans of opium (about 1,000 pounds), worth about $600,000, making it a very large seizure by contemporary standards. The ship was scrapped in 1933.” (Wikipedia)
