  My great great grandmother. For shame.

• Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:

  I'm glad you've found her. If you search the Shields Daily Gazette at search.findmypast.co.uk/search/british-newspapers then you should find some more stories about her.

  And my great grandma. Thank you so much for the link.

  She was born in 1896 in Milano and died on April 30, 1940 in Milano. She was the "première danseuse" of the NY Metropolitan Opera from 1914 to 1930 and ballet mistress from 1919 to 1935 (according to fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosina_Galli_%28danseuse%29) See also books.google.ch/books?id=Tm-AAAAAQBAJ&pg=PT294&dq... news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1787&dat=19300619&... "My Life as a Ballet-Dancer" by Rosina Galli (www.unz.org/Pub/Forum-1919jul-00011) In broadway.cas.sc.edu/content/maria-gambarelli she is described as "cruel".

  In March 1916, a series of concerts, whose purpose was to raise funds for the establishing of an Italian theatre in NY, was given in the Waldorf. Rosina Galli and Giuseppe Bonfiglio gave a group of dances (NYT, March 19, 1916, query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=FB0811F63E591A...)

Couple on board a passenger ship, 1952

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Castel Felice ventured to Australia as an immigrant ship on a total of 101 voyages between 1952 and 1970, carrying over 100,000 immigrants to Australia and New Zealand. She was commanded by an Italian crew and carried passengers from many different countries including Italy, Germany and Britain. Many passengers remember the rough seas and shabby state of the aged ship with apprehension and delight. Before departing from Genoa on 6 October 1952 for her first journey to Australia, she was christened Castel Felice. She arrived in Melbourne on 7 November. Between 1952 and 1955, the Castel Felice made only three voyages to Australia (but many to the Americas) before again being refurbished. The new refit offered many conveniences including a small number of first class cabins, air conditioning, a swimming pool and large public rooms. But for the tourist class, things were still cramped. Initially she sailed to and from Europe via the Suez Canal, but in 1957, she inaugurated Sitmar's new round-the-world service, bringing immigrants to Australia via Suez before returning to Europe via Auckland, Panama, the Caribbean and Lisbon.
