A sailor doll purchased by an English family sailing from England to Canada on the ‘Queen Mary’ on 31st October 1951. The doll was made by Norah Wellings (of Victoria Toy Works). The doll's legs, torso and arms are made from one peice of fabric with stitches to divide the body parts, and the face is quite delicate and painted. The blue colouring on the legs and arms has started to fade, but is still present on the lower torso. The cap and face of the doll are dirty. There is a label on the left foot which reads "MADE IN ENGLAND BY NORAH WELLINGS".

Dolls like this were available for purchase or sometimes as gifts to passengers on ocean liners throughout much of the 20th century, and were a prized souvenir for children. Norah Wellings was the primary manufacturer of these sailor dolls, and many still exist with the name of the vessel as part of the doll's uniform (in contrast to this doll).
