Hi Ron,
There's an accent on Lourenco... But who has the time these days to down
load the symbols, unless your computer is set up for them...

Hi Pam,

Durban would have been the closest, although Maputo (or LM in those days)
was closer, but across the border in Portuguese East Africa. Can't quite
remember how Lorenco Marques was spelt :-)

Regards,
Ron

Can anyone suggest where passengers from the Johannesburg area would be
likely to board a boat for passage to England in 1908, and return to S.A. in
approx. 6 weeks. Would they travel as far as Cape Town or was there a port
closer to their home.

Regards, Pam in Arizona.
