Transatlantic Travel
In 1935 Charles A. Lindberg and his family migrated to Britain after the trial of the century which resulted in the execution of Bruno Hauptmann, the German carpenter convicted of kidnapping and murdering the pilot’s baby son.
The following year, the Lindberg dogs followed the family on the Queen Mary. Thor (German Shepherd) and Skean (Scottish terrier) were among the first canines to travel on board the transatlantic liner. Luxury dog kennels were located on the port side of the sports deck, behind the tennis court. To make doggie passengers feel at home they had masses of space in which to exercise. First class passengers could take a peek into the dog kennels and watch dogs romping around. They even had a lamp-post to wee against.
