NOTE - The SS Pavonia was an Iron Steamer of 5588 tonnes gross, with one funnel and three masts, she was owned by the Cunard Steamship Co Limited. First voyage was between Liverpool, Queenstown (Ireland) and New York, but mainly sailed from Liverpool to Queenstown and a final destination of Boston taking numerous immigrants from England, Ireland, Sweden, Poland, Hungary and Norway to a new life in the United States. A Voyage of 1883 notes that of 958 passengers 800 held steerage tickets which were the cheapest akin to being packed like cattle. The steerage tickets were enormously profitable for the Steamship Companies and were an effective but harsh voyage for those seeking a new start. The SS Pavonia had passenger accommodation for 200 first class and 1500 third class passengers. Among the first class passengers there were many notable American poets, painters and congressmen to include Thomas Bailey Baldrich, William Herbert Henry Faunce, Denman W Ross, Louis Sulzbacher and the German composer Julius Eichberg. In 1892 she was noted as being towed into Boston after breaking her propeller shaft. In 1899 she arrived at the Azores in a disabled condition, eventually being towed to Liverpool. Her last Liverpool, Queenstown to New York voyage was 29 August 1899 before a final two further voyages as a Boer War transported before being scrapped in 1900 (see illustration).
