    So, the "Havana" was sunk in Maine harbour, right? That would account for the snow and ice . . . .

    "Okay, let's free associate: I'll say a word and then you tell me what image that immediately conjures up. Ready? 'HAVANA!'" "Snow and Ice!" "No, no, no -- try to be serious!"

    that's because she is the SS Havana, probably after a hard crossing www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-civil/civsh-h/havana.htm you can see her on the schedules in 1917 query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=980CE1DF1538EE... Launched in 1906, SS Havana was a passenger steamer for the Ward Line on the New York–Havana route from 1907 to 1917. Before being purchased by the Navy, the ship briefly served as United States Army transport ship USAT Havana and was in the first United States convoy of ships to sail for France during World War I. In her Navy career, Comfort made three transatlantic voyages, bringing home over 1,100 men from European ports. Comfort was placed in reserve in September 1919, decommissioned in 1921, and sold in April 1925.

    My great grandparents and my granduncle used this ship for several crossings between Havana and New York City. Here is the manifest for Eva Ariel Lattin (1892-1939) and Anthony LeRoy Winblad (1912-1970), from my family, returning from Cuba to New York City on July 7, 1915 Here they are on the Isle of Pines in Cuba. From left to right are: Norman Edward Winblad (1911-1980); Eva Ariel Lattin (1892-1939); and Anthony LeRoy Winblad (1912-1970) aka Roy Winblad, circa 1913 at the home of Jarvis Andrew Lattin (1853-1941) and Mary Jane Puckett (1854-1927) near Santa Barbara on the Isle of Pines in Cuba.
