Photos from 1939 Around the World

Upon returning from their second around the world trip in late July 1939, photographs by William G. Irvine were featured in a full page spread in the Sunday St. Joseph News-Press. They arrived back just before the outbreak of World War II in Europe. According to an interview in the News-Press, their favorite part of the trip was in the South Pacific, where they spent a month between Fiji, the Soloman Islands, Bali, New Zealand and Australia.
