How to Reach Canada: If you are planning to go to Canada, you should plan to leave home about mid-April. This will allow you to reach Canada in time to earn some money with harvesting, before the winter sets in. You may take a steamship from Liverpool to Quebec, and from there you may travel by Canadian Pacific Railway to your proposed home in the west. Allan Line steamships sail every Thursday from Liverpool, and on Tuesdays, from Glasgow. The Dominion Line sails Tuesdays from Liverpool, the Temperley Line on alternate Tuesdays from London. The voyage takes from eight to ten days. You should arrive at the port the evening before the sailing, since ships leave early in the morning. All food is provided, but steerage passengers should bring their own bedding, beds and eating utensils. You should also lay in a good stock of clothing |
