U.S. Mail Steamer New York of the American Line leaving
Southampton to New York via Cherbourg 1915
Contributor Jana Black
Jana tells us:
On June 6, 1914, my grandmother, Rose Lily Colsell, aged 17, embarked
upon the U.S. Mail Steamer, “New York,” of the American Line leaving
from Southampton to New York via Cherbourg. For her, this was to be a
summer trip with her employers back to their home in Washington State.
He was Mr. Ben Allen, the American Ambassador to Great Britain. My
grandmother was Nanny to the family’s two young sons. By the end of the
summer, Ben Allen was told that war appeared eminent in Europe and that
he was not to return. Although, my grandmother was only in this country
on a temporary visa as an employee to this diplomatic family, it was
decided that she would be safer remaining with them in the United
States.
They took up residence at the family’s summer home in Woodland,
California. Later my grandmother took a job working in the Tuberculosis
Sanitorium there. In 1918, she met and married my grandfather. All of
her brothers were lost in the Great War and her only sister left an
abusive husband and disappeared, never to be heard from again. My
grandmother never returned to Great Britain. She kept, and so have I, a
copy of the List of Passengers leaflet. My grandmother is merely listed
as maid.
