EDITORS COMMENTS
Extended Family Gathers on the Deck of the S.S. Kemusa in April 1921 This evocative photograph captures a moment of hope and anticipation as an extended family bids farewell to their homeland and embarks on a new journey towards a better future in Canada. The year is 1921, and the setting is the deck of the S.S. Kemusa, a passenger ship that would carry them across the Atlantic Ocean. At the heart of the scene is a proud mother, holding her young child in her arms, her expression a mix of sadness and determination. Surrounding her are her relatives and relations, all dressed in their Sunday best, ready to begin their emigration to Canada. Among them, a curate, a vicar, and a priest, their collars adding a sense of solemnity to the occasion. A well-behaved dog sits obediently by their feet, adding a touch of warmth and companionship to the scene. The S.S. Kemusa, a symbol of hope and opportunity, looms in the background, its smokestacks billowing out plumes of smoke as it sets sail from the shores of Europe. The passengers, many of them likely leaving behind loved ones and familiar surroundings, look out towards the horizon with a sense of excitement and uncertainty. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's resilience and determination to start anew, even in the face of adversity. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were a time of great change and upheaval, and this image encapsulates the sense of hope and optimism that characterized the era. The LMO Collection / Mary Evans, a leading provider of historical images, brings us this rare and evocative photograph, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring human spirit.
