arrived Canada Quebec, on the Emperor of Ireland, March 1907, but boat and date scrached out and replaced with 1900


the manifest for this arrival doesn't mention 1907 or the ship, but just says he arrived Canada 1900

I found this:

https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/183279-liebert-gifford-british-navy/

but when I got to the last post, I realized it was you. :) To quote: " (Around 1998 or so in the earliest incarnation of the internet, I came across a reference to Liebert Gifford working on a boat sailing from Ireland to, I think it was South America at the age of 16; unfortunately the internet ate the reference later and I haven't found it again."

I didn't find the voyage to South America.
