Now, another on-board photo of Carole has surfaced (pun intentional), this a solo shot in full sailor attire.
There's no p1202 coding, alas. Here's what the back looks like:
It reads:
SAILOR GIRL -- Carole Lombard, Paramount player, becomes nautical and, in a striking sea-faring costume, goes for a yacht trip on the Pacific, which is only a hop, skip and a jump from Hollywood.
