Hi everyone, I'm researching the Delhaas family in Australia. They emigrated here from Holland and arrived here in Sydney on board the "Groote Beer" in November 1955. Does anyone have any information in relation to that ship. I would also like to know where I might be able to get copies of photo's of the boat and I would be very interested in stories from anyone who travelled on her during the mid fifties. I'm hoping there's something out there. Thanks in advance. Mike Delhaas
