Black and white lantern slide showing missionaries from the Peruvian Inland Mission travelling in a wooden boat. The female missionary sitting alone at the front of the boat may be Miss Myrtle Cooper, part of the medical staff at Lamas Hospital. The female missionary who sits low in the row behind is Miss Mary Taverner, qualified nurse and head of the Lamas Bible School. The taller female missionary is possibly Edyth Mary Vinall, a nurse who joined the Peruvian Inland Mission in 1937. A male figure sits at the back of the boat, and the arm of another male figure can just be seen. This slide comes from a collection created by the Peruvian Inland Mission, an evangelical mission started in 1930 by Miss Annie G Soper in northeast Peru, which was administered by the evangelical interdenominational mission, Regions Beyond Missionary Union from 1948.
