From the CD-ROM --"TheShipsList Passenger Ship Arrivals Canadian Ports 1865-1899"-- http://theshipslist.com/cdrom/index.htm Reel Number Ship Name Departure Information Arrival Information Shipping Line Special Group(s) Remarks C-4536 NORWEGIAN Glasgow, Scotland 1887-08-06 Quebec, Que. 1887-08-16 (MTL) Montreal Ocean Steamship Company (Allan Line) (O): Icelanders to Winnipeg (6) List Number: 62; Captain Robert Carruthers C-4536 BUENOS AYREAN Glasgow, Scotland 1887-08-20 Quebec, Que. 1887-08-30 (MTL) Montreal Ocean Steamship Company (Allan Line) (O): Icelanders (33) - faded manifest page List Number: 70; Captain James Scott You are in luck as they are both on the same reel of microfilm. 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 from Ottawa, to libraries in the US, and outside North America. These microfilms contain arrivals from ALL ports, they are not indexed. The LDS do also have copies of this microfilm, their number LDS number 0889458 ~ 1887 ~ port of Quebec Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/
