Re: marine falcon--liberty ship
We were on the Marine Falcon, sailed from Southhampton on July 15, 1947, with my Mom/Dad,Herbert/Olive Clarke, on board ship we were in Room no. 1335/Berth 17 along with two brothers, arrived in NY July 23, 1947, and then travelled to Lacolle Qc, and settled in Montreal,regret do not have pictures, but was good to obtain a photo of the vessel and learn some of the history. Parents advised I was a bit of a celebrity during the trip, as I (only two years old at the time), had measles, as a result the ship was quarantined on arrival in NY, for an extra day/two!!
