During most of 1913 he sailed back and forth from Liverpool to Canada.
His first trip was on 7th March to St. John, New Brunswick as 3rd Cook.
After much eye-strain I figure the ship was R.M.S Grampian.
The Grampian was built by A.Stephen & Son, Glasgow in 1907 for Allan Line.
Her passenger capacity was 210 1st class, 250 second class and 1000 3rd class. She sailed from Liverpool to Canada 1907 –1921, unfortunately, in 1921 she was gutted by a fire whilst having a refit in Antwerp.
In 1913 The Imperial Theatre was built in St.John, New Brunswick…… I wonder if F.A.I. managed to see a performance or 2 whilst he was there. The theatre managed to pull in some of the huge stars of the time such as Harry Lauder, Ethel Barrymore and John De Sousa.
Granddad did like his pin ups and within his postcard collection there are few
