The Good Ship Rangers and a North American Voyage: The 1930 tour

Before the dawn of the jet age, indeed before global air travel had even left the departure gate, the Rangers of the twenties and thirties had embarked on a tour of North America not once but on two occasions, in 1928 and 1930.

 

The club were by no means strangers to touring far off lands in the early twentieth century: Their first tour of the 'continent' came in 1904 with a trip to Vienna, which proved so successful it was extended so that the Tourists could cross into Prague for a couple of games. The hop across the North Sea, however, could not compare with the voyage of the Rangers in 1928 and 1930 as they sailed the wild Atlantic in their quest to advance the good name they had earned themselves on shores closer to home............
