Cunard-White Star Line: A Nora Wellings "Jolly Boy" sailor doll from the 1930s. The doll, or as I call him, "One Arm George", is a bit worse for the wear. He lost an arm at some point, and a previous owner carefully sewed up the hole. His blue velvet uniform is somewhat worn and soiled. The poor guy's face needs a cleaning. Nonetheless, "M.V. GEORGIC" is printed on his hat ribbon which makes him quite a rare boy. One Arm George's resiliency matches his namesake vessel. The motorship GEORGIC, with her snazzy Art Deco interiors, caught fire during a bombing raid in 1941 and was sunk. Although a total wreck, ships were desperately needed during those early war years, and the GEORGIC was raised and rebuilt, this time with only one funnel. She was now owned by the British government but Cunard leased her after the war for austerity service. And austere she was, with decks still buckled from the fire. Her crew not-so-fondly nicknamed her "Corrugated Lung" and the government would not allow her to sail the stormy Atlantic during the winter. Like her sister BRITANNIC, the GEORGIC remained in White Star livery until her end in 1956 at the Faslane shipbreakers.
