Does anyone have or know where I can find a picture of the S/S City of Boston (Inman Line)?

Borge,
Thank you for your reply. But, do you know where I can download a good copy or buy a copy? My (English) g-g-grandparents came to America on the Boston.

Well, I do have some original old engravings of the ship somewhere, which I guess I could provide paper copies of. I did start a practice of offering copies of images to people in return for a donation to the Norway heritage Project some time ago. However, very few people really wants make donations, so I have not focused a lot on promoting it. So far this year less then 10 of 450,000 unique visitors have shown their appreciation by making a donation in return for what they get on this web site. You can contact me by e-mail and I'll see what I can do to help you.
