    3. Hi Denise, If you re-read the description and history of the vessel ... VIRGINIAN / DROTTNINGHOLM / BRASIL / HOMELAND 1905 http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/descriptions/ShipsV.html ... you'll see "...On 1/6/1951 she commenced her first voyage from New York to Hamburg, on 16/6/1951 commenced Hamburg - Southampton - Cherbourg - Halifax - New York service and on 1/3/1952 started her last sailing on this route. On 14/3/1952 she commenced a New York - Mediterranean service and on 29/3/1952 commenced sailing between Naples - Genoa - Halifax - New York. She commenced her final voyage on 21/10/1954 when she left Genoa for Naples, Halifax, New York, Naples and Genoa, and in Feb.1955 she was scrapped at Trieste. " Her last sailing from Hamburg via Southampton commenced on the 1st March 1952 You haven't mentioned whether you are looking for a Halifax or New York arrival. The New York arrival lists are available through Ancestry.com but the Halifax arrival extract of passenger landing at that port would only be available through "Access to Information" request (Post -1935) http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/022-908.007-e.html If your passenger embarked at Southampton, you can confirm which year, to which port by accessing the FindmyPast website http://www.findmypast.com/passengerListPersonSearchStart.action?redef=0 The database is free to search, but it costs to access the original "full" record.
