Looking for info with regards to the SS Bruce that sailed to British Guiana in 1884-85. Also needs pics of this ship if it exist. Having a family reunion in the summer and would like to present something proper.
Thanks all.

Lloyds of London would have a shipping record and possibly pictures as well. They would have insured the ship after all.

Guyana National Archive on line is a joke.
I have my nana's birth certificate, which has his father's & mother's name; year they arrived in BG & name of ship... Archive cannot find anything...

Bruddaman, though long, this is a list that I have on the indentured issues.
The best place to receive much more details is from the British Archives.
