I suppose I'd have to look into records in Honduras to see about return trips. Since the ships were all registered to the United Fruit Company, I expect their costs were fairly modest. It wasn't like they were traveling on a cruise line ;)<br /><br />I imagine they took in quite a few opportunities to shop in the Big Apple. For a while, Sarah Martha had an aunt who worked in New York as a buyer for a big department store. What more of an invitation could one want?!?!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-85434758831609064332014-01-04T08:21:06.329-08:002014-01-04T08:21:06.329-08:00What an adventure all that sailing must have been,...What an adventure all that sailing must have been, I suppose they traveled free. I noted that you found out when they came to the US ..how long did they stay and where did they depart from? I will bet that they usually departed from New Orleans..I bet she went to NY to shop and visit and then took the train to Tennessee...but I am a bit of a dreamer sometimes:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-8217340676199586612014-01-03T22:25:29.822-08:002014-01-03T22:25:29.822-08:00Interesting link, Iggy!
