Could this be the S/S "Nova Scotian", built in 1858 and scrapped 1893. She belonged to the Allan Line.

Thank you for your reply. We found the site in Emigrant ships from Norway, it's the only place we found the name of the ship, which we hope is the one we are looking for. Our G>G>Grandfather was a "cook" on this ship and was"Naturalized in Philadephia in 1891. Where can we find more info on this ship and/or our G>G>Grandfather. Also we have a StepG>G>Grandfather on the same ship, who was a "Mate". Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Lindha
