25th Bound Doric Emigration Liverpool Strays Waifs 1924
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history as members of the Waifs and Strays Society emigration party prepare to embark on their journey to Canada aboard the SS Doric. The group, consisting of children and young adults, left Liverpool on 25th April 1924 in search of new opportunities and a fresh start.
The faces in the photograph reflect a mix of emotions - excitement for the adventure that lies ahead, but also apprehension about leaving behind familiar surroundings. Each individual carries with them a unique story of hardship and resilience, making this image a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by those who were once considered waifs and strays.
As they stand on deck, waving goodbye to loved ones left ashore, one can't help but wonder about the hopes and dreams that accompany them on this voyage. Will they find happiness and success in their new home across the Atlantic? Only time will tell.
This snapshot from 1924 serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of human perseverance and determination in the face of adversity. It is a reminder that even in times of uncertainty, there is always room for hope and possibility.
