On the Frontenac, Summer 1939.


As mentioned in the first Evangeline post, Capt. Bill's position as master of various freighters permitted him to take family and other guests on the ships' voyages. As a follow-up, Chuck O'Malley has sent an outstanding video clip with scenes from one such voyage — on the Frontenac in the summer of 1939. The cinematographer is Capt. Bill's son-in-law Bob O'Malley Sr. The cast includes Cap and three of his children: Eileen, Dorothy (in the black-and-white plaid), and Tom. But the star is either a very young Shirley Temple or else Bob and Eileen's daughter Sharon O'Malley Cassidy.
