Hello Paxie,   Are you sure it is this German/Prussian barque ARAB? I suspect that it might have been the Union Steamship Company (Limited) intermediate steamer ARAB, Captain Tyson, which left Southampton Sat., 26 January, 1895 with passengers, mails and cargo for Lisbon, Teneriffe and Cape of Good Hope. Can you give any further information?, more specific dates? was SWS passenger or crew?   Regards, Adi   --- On Wed, 7/6/11, Paxie Kelsey <paxie@telkomsa.net> wrote: Hi there Is there anyone who could tell me a more complete history of this barque ...
