31, 2004 passengers #420 & 421 TURCHANYJ Turchanyi. It is spelled with an i at the end and not a j. There were other members of the same family on the ship. Namely Evi and Ilus, who were my sisters, plus my father and mother whose names are Gyula and Edit. It is stated that the port of departure was unknown. The ship left the German Port called Bremen Hafen. Edit Turchanyi Correspondence from passenger #43 Eva CERNY April 22, 2008 From:evacerny1 at juno.com Dear Sir, the General Hersey sailed out of Bremenhaven, Germany, on Oct 10, 1950. There were many more people on that ship than you have listed here. In addition to the displaced persons from Eastern Europe, there was a number of Italians from Italy, who joined the ship at Bremen haven. The West Australian government might have the whole list. Sincerely, an ex-passenger. Additional Correspondence from Eva CERNY April 25, 2008 Dear Sir, first of all, I got the date of departure wrong. it was actually the 9th of October, 1950. A very gray day, a very gray evening. The lights of Bremenhaven lit up, our ship blew its horn twice, and we started to move away from Europe. Many thought this was a good thing, even though few thought they'd ever see Europe again. Everyone thought there was another war on the way, and everyone wanted to be out of it. We lost our captain by the English shore, he left in a small boat. My sister says he was very handsome, I don't know, I didn't see him, I just saw the boat bobbing away on the waves, and I must say I did not like losing our captain so soon out in the voyage. By then we were all very sea-sick, as the channel was very choppy. Since I was a small child at that time, I cannot adequately describe the rest of the voyage. However my father left behind some letters, which I happened to get a hold of, and which describes some of the voyage. It lasted a long time (we actually got admitted to Australia on the third of November), there were many of us, mostly refugees from Stalin, but there were a few Italian immigrants sprinkled among us. Incidentally, "men" from the age of three years upwards, were accomodated on one part of the ship, the women on the other. My 7 year old brother was with my father, my sister and I with my mother. It seems a little funny today, but my mother did not like it. However we ended up staying on the deck most of the time, including the nights. And for us little kids, it wasn't too bad, we got to see everything on the boat, including the engine room, and by the time we struck the storm in the Indian Ocean, we could enjoy the spectacle of the trays flying of the table when it got really bumpy. We enjoyed it. (I think children can enjoy anything). By the time we got to Fremantle, I was actually a little sad to leave the boat which had been our home for so many days. It would be interesting to know how many people actually stayed in Australia for good, I know the Czechs who stayed are the ones who left West Australia for Sydney or Melbourne soon after we arrived. But that again is something the Australian government would have to figure out. Hope this fills up some of the blanks. Sincerely, E.Cerny.

It is believed that this transcription only lists those who disembarked in Fremantle,
since the ship carried hundreds more passengers.
