• Four CPR ships, Bruton, Marglen, Melita and Minnedosa, transported the bulk of those Mennonites during that massive 1923-6 emigration project. My parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts were among them. Old-timers still reminisce of the eventful voyage aboard one of those ships that took them away from fear-ridden Russia to a country filled with hope and freedom. The sea voyage was in two stages. After disembarking from cattle cars at Libau, Latvia, the emigrants took the second leg of their exciting journey to Southampton, England, or Antwerp, Belgium, there to undergo a brief quarantine period and thorough medical examination. The third stage ended at Montreal, from where CPR passenger trains carried them westward ....

I was a young lad among the 1,000 Mennonites who stepped onto Canadian soil from the famous boat. Why was it not mentioned in the article? It made a number of trips in the mid-twenties and many of us who travelled on it would have been interested to hear what happened to it ...
