Glasgow?

[edit]

I have a facsimile embarkation notice for the Laurentic dated Saturday 15 September. This date was a Saturday in 1928 and 1934, which would be reasonable given the service dates in this article. However, what it says is "Glasgow to Canada", Steamer Laurentic for Quebec and Montreal, with mention of St. Enoch Railway Station in Glasgow.

Nothing about Liverpool. Are we missing something here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.84.176.128 (talk) 03:01, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Makes no sense!

[edit]

This sentence makes no sense as it is written in very poor English:

In January 1931, it was expected that the ship transferred to a Mediterranean cruise but the Great Depression made it unprofitable and eventually left the passengers for the RMS Homeric.[1]

Can anyone decifer what this means and translate it into proper English? G-13114 (talk) 15:08, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sinking of Lautentic in 1940

[edit]

This St Petersburg Times newspaper report from 5 Nov 1940 states the number of people that were saved (368), but doesn't say how many were on board or died ("losses were not announced"). [1]. This would mean 48 died, not 49. Is there a source for the 416 number of people on board? NiGoosefort (talk) 12:09, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
