Hello Mike, This was Elders & Fyffes passenger and banana ship ARIGUANI. She was an aircraft catapult ship during the war used for convoy escort work and was torpedoed and badly damaged in 1941. Abandoned but later reboarded and towed to Gibraltar for repair.

I am looking for my Grandfather. His Name is Johann/John Koch, he came to Ellis Island, NY on the SS Molkie from Hamburg, Gr. He was about 17 Years old, He lived in Hungry, but spoke German. He arrived in NY either Jan., or Feb., 1903 or 1905 the paperwork I have is not very clear on the dates. I have looked at all the SS Molkie ship manifest that I could find on the net. Any and all help would be great. John Koch Mesa AZ jjca85208@msn.com<mailto:jjca85208@msn.com>

FAO: Sue Swiggum Sue, Had some tremendous luck my great aunt Dorothy Abraham (Nee Allard) wrote a small book called 'Lone Cone', it was her journal of going across to Canada to Tofino BC as a war bride with her husband. Here is a quote from the book answering the matter of which ship and when: At Southampton we arrived at the boat, which was the Olympic, at that time the largest ship afloat. She looked enormous. It was the last time she was used as a troop ship, taking home the last load of troops, who hailed mostly from Nova Scotia. I shall never forget the send off that they had, the docks were black with people, bands playing, people singing and speeches, a stirring sight. There were very few other passengers so we had plenty of room, amongst them were the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, the former at that time Governor General of Canada, a few army officer and their wives, some nurses, and a few civilians. There was a strike on at the time, and the ship gallantly took her own way out without a tug. we were off. Canada next Stop! It then goes on about the voyage and arriving six days later at Halifax to a tremendous reception. The date I feel, but would love your confirmation, must of been around the middle of May 1919, as she says they applied in November 1918 and the telegram arrived one day in May giving them 1 weeks notice to sail. Her mother and father Percy William Allard & Elizabeth Allard sailed in 1920 I would imagine after April as that was their other daughters wedding day in UK so presumably there must be a Form 30A somewhere to be able to check their dates and ship. They I feel would of done a similar journey. Thanks Graham Allard

This is a lot more recent than most people's searches, but I'm looking for what ever information I can get on passenger lists, etc for a ship called St. Ariquani (I believe that's the correct spelling). It was a converted troop carrier that was used to bring passengers from England to Canada after WWII. My father was a Canadian soldier and married my mom in England. I have a note that says they landed in Montreal on Aug 26th, 1945 on the above ship. The only info I've been able to find online is a mention that a ship by the same name arrived in Gibralter on Nov 3, 1941. I've checked on the ship based sites that I've got but found nothing that current. Any ideas? Mike Guest London, ON

Some of you are familiar with this story, but for those who aren't . . . Last week I was notified by a colleague in Australia, that in individual in UK had copied some of the website content of TheShipsList, and was selling it on eBay. My colleague had purchased one of those CDs, thinking it might be a *new* British record source, but quickly realized that TheShipsList was the source. There had been no attempt made by the thief to disguise the fact and even my 'editorial comments' and 'typos' were carefully reproduced. As all TSL website content is 100% free access, I was very distressed and wasn't sure what to do next. What I did do first was to search eBay for myself and found that there were actually six CDs with stolen content from TheShipsList website, being offered by three sellers. Four different record sets, as each of them offered a copy of one of the CDs . . . so are they stealing from each other too ?

I am also in contact with the Trading Standards Enforcement Section in Carmarthenshire, Wales (as we know the supposed name / address of one of the thieves) and with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police "National Ports Enforcement Team," which also takes such infringements very seriously. I am really delighted to tell you that within hours, eBay took decisive action. I received emails from California (3), emails from United Kingdom (5) and a telephone call from Utah (1) all within a 24 hour period, and all listings were subsequently removed. Those sellers, at least " family--tree " and " manic1bookworm " are still out there, and as my Australian colleague discovered, are both still selling other stolen material, so I ask each and every one of you to be vigilant as you work on your own research, but if you do encounter anything that seems a little too familiar being offered by another, please take the time to pass your observations on to the person you believe to be the owner of the Intellectual Property. Many many thanks to all who offered such valuable support Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/

I suspect they remained in the custody of the shipping line or its Agent(s), then after the ship had safely arrived and an undetermined period of time, the list would be destroyed. For British records, those outbound lists were not archived by the Government before 1890 . . . for other countries, those outbound records were never archived.

The August 24th list is unusual as there are people from Boston and New York, but also from Spain! I know this because I found them registered at Hotels in Montreal ! I didn't see them arriving at the port of Quebec, so they may have come via the Erie Canal. It wasn't officially opened until 1825, but it was under contruction for several years. Of course, their ships of arrival at Quebec may not have been recorded, or the Maritime reporters missed listing those passengers, however it would be strange to miss such exotic names :-} The next 1824 passenger lists will be for the New Swiftsure, 29 lists, and they really nice and clear for the most part. o Fleets updated: o Lloyd Italiano o La Veloce Navigazione Italiana a Vapore o Matson Line o Lloyd Sabaudo o Gdynia America Line o Dodero Line - CAND o American President Line o Société Générale de Transport Maritimes SGTM o Rotterdam Zuid Amerika Lijn o Swedish American Line o London & North Eastern Railway Co. o North German Lloyd o Nippon Yusen Kaisha K.K. o Blue Star Line o Union-Castle Line o P.& O Line o Hamburg South American Line o Compagnie de Navigation Sud-Atlantique o American Line o Hansa Line (Dampfschiffs-Rhederei Hansa) o Atlantic Transport Line o Bibby Line o Det forenede Dampskibs-Selskab DFDS o Pacific Steam Nav.

I'm looking for the passenger list for Gustave Vestberg (Gustaf Westberg) who sailed on the 21 April 1911 from Liverpool to the Port of Quebec. The arrival date was 29 April 1911. Gustave's birthday was 4 July 1888 and he was from Sweden. Ken Berg Ep10101@ix.netcom.com

Reference - SS. Tropli - sailing Liverpool - Queenstown - New York April 3, 1866. Does anyone know if there was ever a departure manifest generated in Ireland when ships left port? I am trying to find were my G/G grandparents came from in Ireland. I'm having to work backwards with no information other than they left Queenstown approx. March 23 - 24 25 (?) 1866 arriving 10 days later in Port of New York - 3 April 1866. The family name is TIERNEY - My Grandparents are listed on the manifest # 131 - James Tierney age: 24 - (Country:) Ireland and my Grandmother # 132 - Mary Tierney age: 23 - (Country:) Ireland. Steve Tierney tierneys1@verizon.net

Bill There were a number of ships but because Canada did not archive passenger lists until 1865 there will not be a record. Few lists from pre-1865 exist. So, sorry to say there is no way you can type in a name and get an answer. Regards.. Marj At 12:41 AM 4/28/2006, bill treumann wrote: >In 1854 were there many ships sailing from London to >Quebec?

If he _did_ arrive in the US prior to Sept. 1906, then he didn't have to *prove* his arrival information in order to naturalize, so be aware that the details he provided may not be 100% accurate as memories fade.

Yes, on Steve Morse's one-step pages which Lorine posted about http://www.stevemorse.org/ . . . there are lots of different search forms to use for Ellis Island Database (and others) . . they are intuitive, but take the time to read the "Frequently Asked Questions" if you get bogged down.

There are no comprehensive lists of immigrants arriving in Canada prior to 1865. Until that year, shipping companies were not required by the government to keep their passenger manifests. You might find an ancestor in correspondence of the Secretary of State on immigration for 1817-1857. There are lists of immigrants, mainly Irish, and entry books re immigration, and assisted emigration to British North America. These must be ordered offline . Details are given at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/articles/immcanpre1865.shtml At The Olive Tree Genealogy, there is a page on the section of Ships Passenger Lists To Canada, which explains what lists are available at the National Archives of Canada (NAC) http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/tocanp01.shtml On TheShipsList website they are including Quebec ship arrivals extracted from contemporary newspapers. See http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/Arrivals/index.htm You can also try inGeneas, the online searchable database of early immigration to Canada. Some records are free, others must be paid for, but the search and it's results are free. A search engine for InGeneas is at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/search_shipscanada.shtml There are also some passenger lists which were kept by shipping agents in the originating country. For example, the Passenger Books of J & J Cooke, Shipping Agents gives sailings from Londonderry to Philadelphia PA, Quebec, and St. John New Brunswick from 1847 to 1871. Olive Tree has some passenger lists from these records online, and will be adding more as time permits. For an index of clickable links to those JJ Cooke passenger lists online to date, see http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/jjcooke.shtml If you want to search online, you may have limited success because only a very small percentage of ships to Canada have been transcribed and put online. You can also check out the pages for ships passenger lists Ships Passenger Lists to Quebec http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/qu_ships.shtml Good luck!
