In the photograph John Anderson is second from the right.

It is in post card format and on the back says ' The Stanley Park Photographers, Vancouver, B.C. Negative no 7111 '

The typed message says  " Dear Cousin, You'll be glad to hear Your Nephew John is leaving here about the first week in the year for dear AULD SCOTLAND "

No dates are given.

I have read recently that Stanley Park Vancouver is being or has been given a 'makeover'. The management there might be interested to see this photo, so some one out there might like to draw their attention to the record of John Anderson's visit.

Who were his companioins on that day in 1910 / 11 ? Perhaps the man on his left was the Chief Engineer as JA was the Third Engineer on the vessel.

Any car buffs out there able to identify the car - we're certainly in the early days of motoring !

Sula sgeir has asked me to attach the photograph for John Anderson


John Anderson is second from the right (as we look at the photograph). He is at Stanley Park Vancouver.
Who are his companions? The man on his left could be the Chief Engineer, as John Anderson was the Third Engineer - it being only his second voyage to sea.

Any car buffs out there tell us the make an d model ? We are talking early days of motoring here - 1911 !

The photograph was taken at Stanley Park, Vancouver probably early 1911, following the voyage from Grangemouth. John Anderson is the second on the right (looking at the photo). Who are the others ? Perhaps the Chief engineer is the man on his left, and the other two are the driver and 'shotgun'.

The photograph has been set up as a post card and on the back JA is addressing his Cousin (no name given) saying that he looks forward to being back in Scotland. There are no dates on the card.

I have read that Stanley Park has recently been 'refurbished' (did it suffer some storm damage ?) so if anyone from the Park is reading this, here is an early image.

And what of the car - we are talking very early days of motoring here so are there any car buffs out there who can identify the vehicle. Interestingly my other grandfather's brother went (from Glasgow) to work in the auto industry in Detroit but I think that was in the early 1920s.

I seem to be repeating myself here due to my not realising that there is now a second page for John Anderson ! Cool
