Amble to Canada

3 Attachment(s)

In 1913 a lecture was given in Amble on the virtues of life in Canada.

What a big step to take for local folk - for the young it would seem an attractive adventure -

Canada was crying out for people to emigrate.

Did anyone accept the offer?

Assisted passages were advertised by emigration agents in The Morpeth Herald 24 December 1915 - right in the middle of WW1 - a perilous journey.
