OMA REMEMBERS . . .


SS Nelly

Dad and Paul were in a dormitory for 75 men and I was in a 12-bunk cabin with the two girls. Because by this time I was about 5-6 months pregnant, I was seasick practically all the time, and I had my meals in the cabin most times (although this was really not allowed) but the smell of those dreadful dining rooms made me feel sick.

We were going to Cape Schanck and we could get there over land and we would be able to shop in Rosebud. So off we went to our great adventure!

It was a complete change from the life we were used to, electricity from a dynamo, cooking on a wood stove, heating water in the copper for baths and washing.
