    1. SS Oruba 1913

    3. I have been lucky enough to obtain my Grand mothers memoirs re her trip Southampton to Panama leaving October 1913. However these bring up a number of queries. The memoirs also cover the trip from Panama to Talara in Peru. 1. Is there a passenger list available as she mentions other passengers by profession rather than name, eg the Danish Ambassador to the West Indies. 2. The ports she mentions leaving Southampton were Cherbourg, Barbados, Port of Spain (took on coal, Cartagena, Colombo then Colon in Panama. Can anyone help me where Colombo is between Cherbourg in Columbia Colon in Panama. Also has anyone any information on the monastery at Cartagena, it is supposedly situated on a high cliff overlooking the ocean. My Grand Father had made the same journey in June 1913. Did the Oruba leave Southampton in June for Panama Regards Keith Foster

Did the Oruba leave Southampton in June for Panama >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Yes, there should be surviving outbound passenger lists at the National Archives in Kew (but these are not microfilmed, and personal or a hired researcher would be necessary). The relevant references for outbound Southampton passenger lists for 1913 are: BT 27/823 - June BT 27/825 and 826 - October David Asprey
