Did you serve the internet? There is an investigation report from the collision.

Here is a photo of the front page and from the page you are on. I was allowed to take photos only without flash. It was not allowed to be photocopied.

I'm curious

1.) After going to Brest France after the collision, how long were we there before we got a new ship?

2.) What was the new ships name? What date did we finally arrive in Halifax?

3.) Does anyone have a photo of the arrival in Halifax?

As far as I know we were there a short time, the new ship was the Zuiderkruis a replica from the Waterman, the passengers got the same cabins because they were 2 sisterships.Zuiderkruis was suppose to go to Australia but those passengers had to wait till the Waterman was repaired.

I dont know what date we arrived in Hallifax.

I have a paperclipping from the newspaper showing both ships alongside. I have to look for it first.
