The Journey

The SS Auriga

Late August 1954 Caleb and his life long friend Charles Wright were among the 1153 persons aboard the Italian immigrant ship the SSAuriga bound for Plymouth England. He described the 19-day trip as a horrible trip because the vessel was rat-infested. When they landed many people were taken to hospitals with rat bites. Once in England Caleb joined his brother, Bertram in Swindon.
