Title: Name of Embankment Port
Post by: diesse on Monday 15 October 18 06:57 BST (UK)

Hi all,

I have an image of a passenger list and I cannot make out the name of the embarkation port.

Would you please try and help?

Thank you.

Cheers,
Di

Hi Josey,

I didn't think of that, thank you.  I will send a correction if possible.
