Madeline Blair was a 19-year-old /”working girl/” who, in March of 1924, stowed away on board the battleship USS Arizona in an attempt to gain passage to California. She was later caught, and the sailors who helped her do this were severely punished.

/”Madeline Blair (born 1905) also known as Adelaide Andrews, Jackie or Blackie was from Bridgeport, Connecticut. She was known for being a stowaway aboard the United States Navy ship USS Arizona and plying her trade while on board the battleship. She is sometimes conflated with Madeleine Blair (note spelling), who was born in St. Louis and later became a brothel madam and activist in Chicago and Canada, and whose autobiography was published in 1919./”
