Pug was considered a member of the Rand family and, as you can see, traveled with his own luggage. The photograph was possibly taken while traveling to Southampton on the Hamburg American Line's SS Furst Bismarck steamship. Archivists have been unable to find with whom in the Rand family he was traveling, but Margaret Arnoild Rand applied for a passport a few months before the photograph was taken so it is possible that they shared the First Cabin Stateroom indicated in this picture.
