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-4526 POMONA Liverpool, England 1871-04-06 Quebec, Que. 1871-04-28 (MTL) Montreal Ocean Steamship Company (Allan Line) - sailing ship (U): National Emigration League (13) & (J): Market Weighton Reformatory, Yorkshire (7) & (J): Mount St. Bernard Reformatory, Leicestershire (2) & (U): Bristol and Clifton Emigration Club (9) & (U): Mr. Bate, Dorsetshire (37) & (U): Bristol Club (7) & (U): Mr. Currie, Poplar List Number: 5; Captain James Bruce In 1871 there were fewer and fewer sailing vessels carrying passengers, but POMONA was one of them, an iron ship, which belonged to Allan Line http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/allan.html As you can see of some of the idenitiable groups on board, two small goups of boys and four groups from "emigration clubs." 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 0889446 ~ 1871 ~ port of Quebec Sue --
