Hamburg Emigration

Today was an unexpected surprise...we went to visit the Hamburg emigration museum.....Ballinstadt showing the period between 1850 to 1934....I believe it was in use following as well.
Found the ships record for Wanda Rattay (our Gramma Wurch)..the record shows them on the Hamburg Amerika Linie, the ship being the 'Assyria'. It left Erste Mai, 1902. Bound for Halifax, and showing the family Rattay, Germans out of Warschau, Poland. Father and mother (Peter and Rosalie) and six children....Wanda being 2 yrs old. They were not 1st or 2nd class,.... But were in the Zwischen deck. The ship was registered Deutschland.
Here is a pic of the ship record...as well as a print..

We spent a few hours here......
Once done, back on the train to downtown and a walk in the park and a treat of Currywurst....
