A frigate would serve for most purposes but may appear common. As always, I'd probably go with a light sloop, maneuvering easily in almost an social situation.<br /><br />Ans speaking of "wear," how about that for a Sailormouth Sunday? ;)Blue Lou Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618846865823171349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-47481484056781197222012-09-28T16:32:21.539-08:002012-09-28T16:32:21.539-08:00Unfortunately, World's Fair was almost synonym...Unfortunately, World's Fair was almost synonymous with "freak show" by the time they quit having them.<br /><br />Here's another curious 1939 World's Fair fact: a telegram was sent to Eleanore Roosevelt at that World's Fair using electricity generated entirely by eels. <br /><br />See what I mean...Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-30025097271944010522012-09-28T14:17:59.815-08:002012-09-28T14:17:59.815-08:00I don't know, Pauline.

I wouldn't put it past one of the current "Royals" who are so strangely (to my way of thinking, anyway) celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic to wear something like this... But not ordinary citizens, thank goodness. <br /><br />My first thought on the picture (before I read the post) was that it was some sort of aa weird Columbus day celebration thing, but I guess the world's fair makes some sense. They always did have some strange stuff at those. I remember going to one with my parents in New York when I was a little kid (in 1964 or 65, I think)...Timmy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09902641426229272672noreply@blogger.com
