Found these ofn a boat. Built in Sunderland in 18?? thwereat carried coal until 1930,s great depression caused the mine to close. Ship then rotted until 70s when it was refitted. Originally sail only, current laws would not let the ship sail unless engine was fitted
We then found the "immigration wall"
Its a wall with details of boats and names of folk on them. There were groups of people searching, looking and nodding as they told stories , found names and gained context on family histories.
