Renae Grubb sent me this photo of her grandmother, Gretta Agnes Ruth Good. Renae writes, “The photo is stamped “Campbell, Calais, Maine”. I have no idea when she was in Maine. I’ll ask Aunt Francine & Uncle Ernest. Somewhere I thought I was told she was 16 years old in this photo so that trip would have been 1916.”

The Charlton family’s fateful journey to England in 1919 departed Montreal aboard the SS Scandinavian and landed in Liverpool on July 14, a week prior to my father’s 6th birthday. According to the ship’s passenger list, Robert was 36, Helen 29, Wm B. 6 and Robert G. 1. Their destination, 26 Western Hill Durham.
More photos of the ship and full details of how she was outfitted are available on the Norway Heritage web site.
