I have been trying to find the ship my late father and his sister came on from Liverpool to Halifax. This message tells all I know and I hope someone can help me. The 2 passengers are David Swales and Esther Swales. They were children. "I asked Mother if she remembered the name of the boat they came out on. She thinks it was called the Scotian (possibly might have been the Nova Scotian) it sailed from Liverpool Dock in March 1919- there were very few civilians on board - it had 2000 Canadian troops being sent home from the first world war. Mother said when her and David weren't sea sick they would march around on deck behind the soldiers - who were singing songs like Its a Long way to Tipperary - it was the first time they had heard any of those songs--They landed in Halifax and then went by train to Montreal." Than You. Catherine [email protected]
