Apparently this was a special trip, and there were lots of demonstrations and lectures on board, and I see one of the Passengers was G. Selmer Fougner, the wine/spirits/food critic for The Sun(later the Herald - New York newspapers). He was The very first and most famous 20th century wine writer. Frank Prial wrote a long article about him in the NY Times in 1992 .
Prial said Fougner wrote his column daily from 1933 "Along the Wine Trail" , of some 3,000 words daily, until his death in 1941. Known as "The Baron" he replied to over 300,000 readers' inquiries during that time, in addition to writing his daily column! The purpose of the column was "to instruct the public in the finer points of eating, and especially drinking, that had been lost during the years of Prohibition."
I did see this must have been a big deal voyage - as the NY Times had a March 24, 1937 article "Restaurateurs Honor Fougner" G. Selmer Fougner, newspaper man and wine expert (he founded over 14 food and wine societies, such as Les Amis d'Escoffier", was the guest of honor last night at a dinner of the Society of Restaurateurs at the Hotel Astor. More than 600 persons attended the dinner, which was also a farewell to restaurant and hotel men who will sail April 1 to visit the wine-growing regions of France. Paul Henkel, president of the society, presided."
