beach policeman Explanation: Based on the article posted by Teresa Borges (very helpful; thank you Teresa) and the description below, I believe this would be the correct translation. "June 30, 1922. Washington policeman Bill Norton measuring the distance between knee and suit at the Tidal Basin bathing beach after Col. Sherrill, Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds, issued an order that suits not be over six inches above the knee." National Photo Co." - http://www.shorpy.com/node/1070?size=_original#caption Please notice that the article refers to the "cabos de mar" as "policemen of the beach soccer / football and the exposure of the bodies" (free translation). This description coincides in part with the above narrative. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2018-11-08 14:14:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually, the term "beach policeman" appears on a previous page of the same website: http://www.shorpy.com/node/1070 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 2 hrs (2018-11-09 16:19:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Encontrei outro artigo que trata do tema e, de certa forma. corrobora esta interpretação. Não se trata de alguém que trabalha no navio e sim no cais ou na praia. Veja mais detalhes em meu comentário no Painel de Discussão. |
