\u00a0Ships on which our immigrant ancestors arrived<\/h1>\n

Click on the ship name<\/strong> to see a ship history, photo and . . . select the\u00a0links to the ship passenger’s arrival manifests which contain all the genealogy. The original ship manifests were large documents with each part being approximately 2 feet. I have saved most of the ship manifests in 2 parts for easier viewing. Note that even these manifest image parts are very large files that may take a minute or more to display. When displayed, you can scroll to find the line number which is located at the left side. The top of the manifest page has an explanation for each column. Some manifest data were type written and are easy to read, others were hand written and may be very hard to read. PART 1 manifest data includes: Name, occupation, last permanent residence, nearest relative in Europe, final destination State & City. PART 2 manifest data includes: Destination address and relative, height, hair & eye color, place of birth Immigrants who arrived via Canadian ports (e.g. Quebec, Halifax, St. Johns) had the information from the ship manifest copied to index cards when they entered the United States and. These cards contain most of the information contained on the actual ship manifest. The card data fields include: Family name, Given name, Accompanied by names, Place of birth, age, sex, occupation, read\/write, Race, Nationality, Last permanent residence, Name & address of relative in Europe, passage paid by, Destination and name of relative to join in America, height, complexion, hair, eyes, distinguishing marks. The back of the card has an annotation of where (e.g. Port Huron or Detroit), and when the person was admitted to the United States (usually the day after arriving in port).<\/p>\n

A 7,044 gross ton ship, length 470ft x beam 56ft, with one funnel, four masts, single screw and a speed of 12 knots. Launched 1898. A troopship for the Boer War in Nov.1899. In 1903 was purchased by Canadian Pacific Railway Co. Refitted to carry 1,500-3rd class passengers in 1907<\/b> until Oct.1914<\/b> when she was converted into the dummy battleship HMS MARLBOROUGH: During World War I the British Navy converted merchant ships, particularly ocean liners, into imitation capital ships. Ships were fitted with mock turrets, guns and other sham devices made of wood and canvas, enabling them to look like war ships. In 1915 she was rebuilt as a naval oiler and renamed RANGOL, in 1916 renamed her MAPLELEAF and in.1917 came under the Shipping Controller. Sold to the British Tanker Co in 1919, and renamed BRITISH MAPLE and used as an oil tanker until 1922 when she became a bunker depot ship at Southampton. In 1933 she arrived at Rosyth for scrapping.<\/a><\/p>\n

will long be remembered as a legend; the largest, the fastest, and the most opulent liner of her time. The Mauretania was one of the most enduring symbols of reliability on the North Atlantic.

Launched on 22nd August 1899, she sailed from Bremen on her maiden voyage to Baltimore on 2nd December 1899. She was then laid up at Bremen due to the outbreak of the Great War in August 1914, and in 1919 was surrendered to Britain. In 1922 she was resold to North German Lloyd and refitted to carry cabin and 3rd class passengers. She resumed Bremen – New York crossings on 25\/3\/1922 and continued on this service until her last sailing on 24\/1\/1926. In 1932 she was scrapped at Bremen.<\/p>\n

The Vauban departed Bremen, Germany June 24th, 1913 and arrived at Galveston, TX July 17, 1913. Ruben “Sam” CHARGO (Srul SCHAGORODSKI) was one of the 3rd class passengers.<\/b><\/p>\n

Built for the White Star Line Company, the S.S. Olympic (or RMS Olympic) was a sister-ship to the ill-fated Titanic and Britannic. Unlike her sisters, Olympic served a long and illustrious career (1911-1935), coming to be known as “Old Reliable”. Accommodations in third class were very good too. The third class had a general room, which was basically a lounge, and they had a smoking room. Although there’s wasn’t as luxurious as the one in first class, steerage had a very nice dinning saloon<\/strong>. On the Olympic-class liners, third class accommodations were very good, compared to the “coffin ships” of the 1800’s.<\/p>\n

By 1923 the United States had passed laws restricting the amount of immigrants allowed to enter the country. This meant that there were less passengers traveling in 3rd class called steerage (because a large portion of passengers in this class were immigrants). Ester Sharagrodsky was among the steerage passengers.<\/p>\n

Olympic was built on the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland. She was the first ship of the Olympic-class liners of the White Star Line Company built in that shipyard. With a gross tonnage of 45,324 (46,439 following repairs), she was 882 ft 9 in (269 m) long and could maintain a service speed of 21 knots (24mph).<\/p>\n

During World War I, the Olympic was converted into a troopship. On May 12, 1918, she rammed and sank a German U-boat, the only known sinking of a warship by a merchant vessel during World War I. The Olympic’s career was entering one of it’s lowest ebbs. In 1924, as she was backing out of Pier 59 in New York City, she collided with the smaller ship, Fort St. George. In 1935, the Olympic was withdrawn from service and partially demolished at Jarrow, England. In 1937 she was towed to Inverkeithing, Scotland for final scrapping.<\/p>\n

The “Ionian” was built by Workman Clark & Co Ltd, Belfast in 1901 for the Allan Line of Liverpool. Her details were – 8,268 gross tons, length 470ft x beam 57.5ft, one funnel, four masts, twin screw and a speed of 14 knots. There was accommodation for<\/strong> 132-1st, 160-2nd and 800-3rd class passengers<\/strong>. Taube Biirman was one of the steerage (3rd class) passengers. <\/strong>Launched on 12\/9\/1901, she sailed on her maiden voyage from Liverpool to Halifax and St John NB on 21\/11\/1901. On 15\/5\/1902 she commenced her first voyage from Liverpool to Quebec and Montreal and on 27\/5\/1905 started her first Glasgow – Quebec – Montreal run. On 17\/5\/1906 she resumed the Liverpool – Quebec – Montreal service and on 20\/7\/1907 went back to the Glasgow – Quebec – Montreal run. In 1909 she was converted to carry 325-2nd and 800-3rd class passengers and started her first London – Quebec – Montreal voyage on 25\/4\/1912. Her last run on this service started on 30\/7\/1914 and she then went onto trooping duties to Bombay via Suez. In 1917 she went to Canadian Pacific who had taken over Allan Line, but returned to trooping in October of that year. On 21\/10\/1917 she was sunk by a mine laid off Milford Haven by the German submarine UC.51 with the loss of 7 lives. [North Atlantic Seaway by N.R.P.

The Mount Temple saw use in November 1901 as a Boer War transport ship.The ship was named for William Francis Cowper (1811-1888), Baron Mount Temple, an English politician and Lord of the Admiralty. The ship was 8790 gross tons and was 485 feet long. It also had one funnel, four masts, twin screw propellors, and a top speed of 13 knots.<\/p>\n

In 1903, Canadian Pacific Lines purchased the ship, with 14 other ships, and was equipped with a wireless telegraph. In the early days of wireless telegraphy, the call sign established for the SS Mount Temple was “MLQ.” The ship saw action during World War I, where she had a 75 mm gun mounted on her stern. After two successful Liverpool-Quebec City runs in 1903, the ship ran aground on West Ironbound Island, Nova Scotia in 1907. No lives were lost, and the ship was stranded until 1908, when it was refloated. Assisting the RMS Titanic: The SS Mount Temple was one of the ships that responded to the RMS Titanic’s distress signals on 14 April, 1912. The ship arrived at the Titanic’s reported position at roughly 4:10 AM local time next day. She was separated from the scene of the wreck by an iceberg and was unable to assist in rescue operations.<\/p>\n
