I have no >clue as to which shipping line it was a part of. Just to be sure of the name myself, I had a look and it says "N.Y. Transportation S.S. Co." I wonder if it might be this ship ? Shire Line http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/shire.htm Carmarthenshire (2), 1887, 1901 sold to Trinidad Shipping & Trading Co, London renamed Maracas. 2726. I'd never heard of the N.Y. Transportation S.S. Company. On the "Record of Aliens held ...." they called it the N.Y. Transatlantic (Es. ?) and called the ship Marocas ;-} Probably Ted will be able to comment about this ship.
