NORFOLK VIRGINIA INTRODUC TION As the men of the BEATTY sail westward from the shores of their beloved homeland North Europe, it is only appropriate that they be familiarized with the strange land they are about to visit. I The only liberty port on this exciting cruise will be Norfolk, Virginia. Act here as you would if you were a guest in another person's house. Remember--you are a foreigner here. THE PEOPLE AND THEIR HISTORY The people of the American nation are a strange and varied lot. Their language is most difficult to learn, since the dialect varies radically from one area to another. Europeans visiting the southern part of this country have reported that the small amount of the American language they learned was useless in the northern states. You will notice that the average American woman is curiously thin. Skinny as they are, you will be surprised to hear that most American women are convinced that they are too fat! Most of them make themselves even skinnier by a uniquely American process of self- starvation known as dieting, This is only one of the many ways in which American women are different from those ,of Northern Europe. One of the unique characteristics of America is that relatively few people spend much time at sea. It is reported that some have never been at sea. Nevertheless, this essentially landlubbering nation has developed modern conveniences similar to those aboard the BEATTY. Telephones, electric lights, and many other familiar appliances will be seen ashore. It must be added, however, that although the rest of America-isn't a nation of seafarers, Norfolk is somewhat different in this respect. Many residents of Norfolk spend a considerable amount of time at sea. Norfolk is located in the state of Virginia. This state was one of those which seceded from the American Union in the bloody Civil War of 1861. Although the war has long since ended, it is reported by reliable sources that it is definitely not forgotten. The flag of the Confederacy is still furtively flown. QI-from all indications the central government is power- less to stop this type of activityl All hands are cautioned to avoid political discussions with natives. The city of Norfolk, never conquered by the Romans and completely overlooked by Attila the Hun, has no ruins. It is highly desirable that BEATTY sailors maintain the status quo. It is expected that tours of Norfolk and the surrounding area will be made available. If enough people are interested, it is very likely that weekend tours to such out-of-the-way places as New York, Washington, and Philadelphia will be organized. Some of the places that you will be interested in seeing are: WILLIAMSBURG Full day tour cost 56.00. Approximately 40 miles northwest of Norfolk. The city is a study of backward colonial living. The surrounding area has prospered, but the village of Williamsburg has remained unchanged. ,RICHMOND Two day tour. Cost S13.00. Approximately 100 miles northwest of Norfolk. The capital city of the Confederacy. WASHINGTON Three day tour. Cost S15.00. The seat of the National Debating Society is located here. This is the home of the democratic form of government, the American President, and the American Department of the Navy so all sailors should feel at home here. VIRGINIA BEACH Full day tour. Cost 58.00. Typical American beach and amusement park.
