I'm particularly interested in the month of May 1897. And if I may, one more query: any information on what line and what ships sailed/steamed from Betgen, Norway, on the North Sea, to Southampton, England, in the same month? >> Kaliningrad has only been in Russia since 1945. Before that it was known as Konigsberg and had been in Prussia, Germany for several hundred years. I don't think it was ever in Lithuania. I don't know of any regular service between Konigsberg and Norway although small ships were always criss-crossing the Baltic Sea. To travel from Bergen, Norway to Southampton would probably have involved crossing from Bergen to Hull by Wilson Line steamer and then a rail journey in England. -- Harry Dodsworth Ottawa Ontario Canada af877@freenet.carleton.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------
