Were you returning to Canada from the war in 1947 or were you coming to Canada with your mom and was she a war bride? As you know Pier 21 has a very important place in Canadian history. My husband and I have visited there several times with out of town guests, well worth visiting.

Cheers....Dianne

No, I was just a 7 year old kid, immigrating with my grandparents and mother.

I think that this "austerity" voyage was the last for the Aquitania. Her structure was failing...apparently, one could push a pencil through the metal of one of her four funnels, she was so rusty.

Thence to Faslane, Scotland for scrapping.
