In popular discourse, workers who travel as they work – including seafarers – have tended to not be seen as travelling in their own right. Focusing on oral narratives from interwar women seafarers, this article explores both the working conditions and the conditions of narration that could enable these women to configure themselves as ‘working‐vacationers’, women ‘travelling back’, travel consumers and travellers who engage with the world, that is, as people who are ‘really travelling’ not simply servicing ‘real travellers’. In particular it explores stewardesses' relationships with women passengers, aiming to add a new dimension to mobility studies and occupational history
