More About This Book
Ships of Our Ancestors is a compilation of photographs
of the steamships that were employed in transporting immigrants
to this country in the heyday of mass migration. These were the
propeller-driven, steel-hulled leviathans of legend, owned and operated
by such famous shipping lines as North German Lloyd, White Star,
Cunard, Guion, Red Star, Inman, and Hamburg-American. Photos of
nearly 900 ships are arranged here in alphabetical order, and each
ship is further identified by date, shipping line, and source. For
genealogists the photographs represent a visual testimony of the
great passenger ships that grew old in service and then passed from
the scene without a trace. They are proof of a bygone time and our
connection to it.
