This is a portion of a ship manifest page from the SS Scandia. It shows my great-grandmother Maria "Mary" Pohl and her young children. My grandmother Adelheid was about two years old when she arrived in America.
The Scandia departed Hamburg, Germany on August 12, 1893 bound for Baltimore, Maryland. For some reason, the ship was diverted to the Port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where it arrived August 29, 1893. The manifest was prepared for Baltimore, but this was later crossed out and Philadelphia inserted.
Mary listed her native country as Austria and her last residence as Fünfkirchen. The city of Pécs, Hungary, pronounced 'Pach, was also known as Fünfkirchen by the Germans. It was a coal-mining center south of Budapest. Mary states she was never in the United States before, and that she had a ticket to her final destination, for which her husband had already paid. She was going to Woodville, Pennsylvania to reside with him there. Woodville is a suburb of Pittsburgh. She had only $3.00 with her.
Here is a transcription of the manifest entries for the family:
