There are two Canadian arrival lists for this trip, one for Halifax and one for St. John, N.B. They are probably identical, with ticks or checks indicating which passengers disembarked at Halifax or St. John. I have only read the St. John list (hence the notes about some of the passengers). Reel # Ship Name Departure Information Arrival Information T-4754 MISSANABIE Liverpool, England 1915-01-01 Halifax, N.S. 1915-01-10 T-4830 MISSANABIE Liverpool, England 1915-01-01 St. John, N.B. 1915-01-11 (M): Returning soldiers & (L): English dockyard workers destined to Bermuda ; Captain G.C. Evans The passenger manifest is on Microfilm at the Library & Archives of Canada [LAC], in Ottawa. The Ships are placed on the reel, in order of arrival. You can borrow this reel on an Inter Library Loan [ILL]. You can find the details for this procedure at this LAC Genealogy Research URL http://www.collectionscanada.ca/ill/index-e.html You are also able to ILL free of charge, from Ottawa, to libraries in the US, and outside North America. These microfilms contain arrivals from ALL ports, they are not indexed. The LAC will allow your Library to borrow up to six microfilms on your behalf, per request. The LDS now have copies of the post-1900 Canadian arrivals, so check here for links and details http://www.theshipslist.com/Research/canadarecords.htm#lds If your father and family were just in transit through Canada destined to the US, then you should also check out the CAN-US border records (St. Albans lists) as those contain a lot more info than Canadian lists for US destined passengers. http://www.theshipslist.com/Research/canadarecords.htm#St.Albans Good Luck, Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/
