WORLD WAR II BRIDES IMMIGRATED TO CANADA - A HISTORY OF IMMIGRATION POLICY

PIER 21/IMMIGRATION WORLD WAR II BRIDES CANADA  A detailed article that might help you.

EXCERPT:  Before the Canadian government amended its immigration policy to provide a humanitarian response to the European displaced person and political refugee crisis, it focus its attention on the resettlement of soldier's dependents.  The resettlement of war brides and their children from 1942 to 1948 marked the first time that the federal government provided a "home to home: service.

EXCERPT: According to the Department of National Defense (DND) approximately 48,000 marriage with 22,000 childbirths were known to have occurred between 1942-1946.  In all, 44,886 (93%) of these unions involved British women, followed by 1,886 (4 percent) with Dutch women, while 649 (1 percent) were with Belgian women.  These marriages were not limited to the British Isles or northwest Europe and included 362 marriages with women of other nationalities (see Table 1).  Approximately 97 percent of all births resulting from these marriages were born to British women.

QUEEN MARY AS A TRANSPORT SHIP FOR WAR BRIDES

WASHINGTON POST THE BRIDES OF WAR  This article written by Pat Broeske from the 1985 was easy to link to without having to have a subscription and was creatively written. It was focused on a recent reunion of War Brides (women who married American soldiers during World War II - often English women) at the time.

EXCERPT: In addition to its 72 wartime voyages, the Queen Mary made 13 war bride trips -- during which time its decks were covered from bow to stern with diapers hung out to dry.  As more than one war bride was to remind, "They didn't have the disposable diapers then."

EXCERPT: "And a lot of amazing memories," said Bill Meade.  There were tears in his eyes as he added, "It was such a different world then, it's almost impossible to describe it to someone who wasn't there, but when they finally turned the lights on in the cities again it was like being reborn.  So much had happened.  A lot of us thought we were never going to make it home again.  Out buddies had died.  But war or no war, you can't stop people from falling in love."

QUEEN MARY STEAMSHIP : TOURIST ATTRACTION IN LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA

I toured the Queen Mary years ago one time when I was in Long Beach. 

LONG BEACH PRESS TELEGRAM - QUEEN MARY BACK TO LONG BEACH OWNERSHIP

On this link there are a number of articles about the Queen Mary Controversy. Others I've read have suggested that it would cost about 23 million to do things like repair a rusty hull. I know some people are outraged because they think money like that should go to those people who are suffering. But I hear the money will be in place and I suppose one of the things that conservation and repair do is provide jobs.

II recently asked a woman who tells me she used to have a concession on the Queen Mary if there were ghosts. She said she had never seen one but there were reports where people felt as if someone was pulling the sheets off them as they slept and "a lot of people checked out." Yee! Perhaps a repair will have to include some mediumship?

LOST LINERS ! THE TITANIC - THE BRITANNIC - THE LUSITANIA - THE EMPRESS OF IRELAND - ANDREA DORIA - MORE

PBS LOST LINERS 

Book by Dr. Robert D. Ballard : "Bob" is the man who found the Titanic.

The video covers four of the disasters but other ships are included in the book.

I found the full video on YouTube recently and watched it. From 2000, I'm sure there is better technology to locate sunken ship exploration today, but it's still worth watching. There's historical footage - film and photos - as well as testimonials of witnesses and the descendants of passengers. 

Because of the infamy of the Titanic disaster, most people don't know there were many other steamships that sunk. 

The Lusitania was sunk by a torpedo aimed at it by a German U Boat, another explosion followed which might have been ammunition for the war : the official word was that the war supplies it carried were not ammunition or explosives but the 2nd explosion is not understood to this day.  It was in sight of land yet all happened too suddenly for efficient rescue.

When the Empress of Ireland, a Canadian disaster, sunk, more people lost their lives than had due to the Titanic. This ship had crossed the ocean many times.  Passengers were assured there was.  it all took 14 minutes and many quickly died drowned in the dark in their bunks. Only 357 survived.

So many people who wanted to start over their life who instead ended their lives.  Ships become graves and are corpses themselves.
