steamship research

Post by lucatek »

My Grand Grand father went to New York in 1903 sailing from Genova on board Ravenna steamship. After 100 years I dove the wreck on the Ravenna that lies 90 meters deep in the ligurian sea. Now I'm doing an historical research on the ship and the immigrants that were on board during the last trip. The Ravenna made regular services between Genova, Naples, Buenos Aires and New York from 1901 to 1917. I'm searching photoes of the ship and information from pople which ancestor travelled on the Ravenna. Thanks.
