On 23rd March 1952 Wildman boarded the passenger ship, Queen Mary, at Southampton, with a First Class ticket bound for the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York. The purpose of his visit isn’t clear but one assumes he was intending to preach the corporal punishment gospel and promote his canes to the USA. Mention of his visit was featured in the September 1952 edition of the American magazine, Pic, where he was shown dishing out a pretend spanking to a stenographer, draped over his knee.
