Did your family emigrate from the 1870s onwards? (General)

I have a huge collection of postcards and photographs of ships from the 1840s to the 1970s - some 30,000. Many are passenger ships from the major and many minor shipping lines. If you are looking for a photo of the ship your ancestors sailed on, ask away and I shall see if I have an image of the ship in question. I'm strongest on transatlantic liners (both North and South Atlantic) and ships to the Cape and Australia/New Zealand from the period 1870-1970.

Ask away and I shall try and help you find a view of the ship required.

Also, there is an excellent site called www.theshipslist.com which is very good for all emigration queries. This gives basic fleets lists, details of individual ships, details of where to find emigration records and crew records for ships, as well as lots of other useful genealogical information relating to emigration worldwide and to ships in general.
