Yes, mine did in 1966 on the "Maryborough" from Greenock to Brisbane. No other stops on the way. Also from Derrygonnelly, Co. Fermanagh. Perhaps it was not that unusual.

Thanks Peter. Another lister thought that it may have stopped at Liverpool. Either way, I have learned something - that it would not have been unusual for Irish immigrants to first go to Greenock before boarding. Especially if, like yours and mine, our ancestors were from Fermanagh (mine were from Enniskillen).
