Also enclosed was a ticket stub from the New Amsterdam Theatre, New York City, for Friday Eve, May 14, 1926. This item was used as the probable year date for this group as the envelope note stated a May 15th sailing date and a night at the theatre before sailing at 1 p.m. would seem appropriate. This S.S. Vandyck, the third ship with this name, entered service in 1921. ---- luggage / tag
