Would anyone on the list know how to find out about the SS Cassandra arriving in Quebec 1907? Thank you....Geri

This is a very interesting web site. It is the Gulf Ice Charts and records of ships 1900 -1909 Many ships are listed for each month with information.(Not ship passenger lists) Perhaps if you don't know the month of the ship arrival , but the name of it, you can search by month with a "find in page" for the ship name. This is how I found the SS Cassandra arrival. http://researchers.imd.nrc.ca/~hillb/icedb/st_lawrence/G1907May.htm This website is a list of all the locations, dates and names of ships that hit iceburgs. http://researchers.imd.nrc.ca/~hillb/icedb/ice/bergs2_01e.html Just a sampling May 25, 1919 47°13'N 51°22'W for Glasgow from Montreal SS CASSANDRA hit a berg None Forward compartments flooded CASSANDRA April 17, 1993 46°12’N 46°04’W from Montreal to Antwerp M/V CAST POLARBEAR hit "drifting pack ice"; almost certainly a small iceberg None Severe damage to bow and forward compartments; already repaired from ice damage received earlier in the Gulf of St. Lawrence CAST POLARBEAR May 3, 1893 385 km E of Cape Race from Danzig to Philadelphia, or from Dundee to New York SS CASTLEGATE hit an iceberg in New York trip or crushed in ice to Philadelphia Crew adrift on ice floe and picked up by sealer DIANA Sank CASTLEGATE January 29/30, 1870 Left Halifax Jan 28 for Liverpool SS CITY OF BOSTON assumed to have hit a berg 192 lives lost Sank without trace CITY OF BOSTON March 1, 1854 North Atlantic left Liverpool for Philadelphia SS CITY OF GLASGOW missing in ice 480 lost Lost CITY OF GLASGOW Geri Facca wrote: >Would anyone on the list know how to find out about the SS Cassandra arriving in Quebec 1907? >Thank you....Geri > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to QC-ETANGLO-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > > >

Geri: The National Archives site is hard to find but has recently put the images of the passenger manifests on-line for all ships arriving in all Canadian ports from 1865 to 1920. The passenger names have NOT been indexed - a huge job. http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/passenger/001045-130-e.html is the starting point. Go to the SEARCH tab at the left. In 1907, 657 ships came to Canada. Of them, 199 ships docked at Quebec, and 6 of the visits were your S.S. Cassandra out of Glasgow. While it could carry at least 1,200 passengers, some sailings were a third of that capacity. Your Cassandra manifests are pretty clear. In general, the Pursers list passengers by class of passage [steerage, 2nd class, cabin, etc] and tried to list them alphabetically within class by country of origin, but there are always some strays out of sequence. You get to the images by the 'View Image' at upper left. I have seen manifests of 69 pages and you have to page through one at a time. When you find a page of interest, copy it to your file then, to save a lot of slow re-paging to get back to it. You can jump to either the first or last. This is only useful if you know that your passenger got off at a secondary port or was in transit to the USA since they are usually at the end. I wish I had your specifics. Good luck.
