good day, I am looking for information on how long the voyage from Glasgow to Quebec usually took in an attempt to locate the ship my great grandfather came over on. He left aboard the SS Miaca August 13 1887 from Iceland probably to Glasgow with a destination of Winnipeg. I am attempting to see what ship passenger list to check in the reels. thanks much Ken Eastveld

In July some ships had hundreds and hundreds. There were 23 ships from Glasgow to Quebec in 1887, but these two were the only August departures (after the 13th) 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 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 C-4536 SIBERIAN Glasgow, Scotland 1887-08-26 Quebec, Que. 1887-09-05 (MTL) Montreal Ocean Steamship Company (Allan Line) List Number: 74; Captain Robert P. Moore; stowaway: (5) sent to Montreal I see I've made a notation about a faded page on the most likely ship, so I hope it isn't too faded. Often a 'faded' page would just make it difficult for a transcriber unfamiliar with the names, but as you know who you are looking for, you should be able to find him. 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/
