Additional e-mail :   Fred from Formby (Merseyside, England, writes

“ I was surprised to read in the Elder Dempster Lines entry of 27^th May 1957 that they did sailings from U.S.A. and Canada to West Africa, also Canada to South Africa and also Calcutta to West Africa.

Can someone tell something about these services ? ”
