This is a photo of the ship that Jorgine and her young children traveled on to America, the SS Belgenland. It left Liverpool on October 1, 1902, and arrived in Philadelphia on October 14, 1902. She describes this trip in detail many years in her recollection, "My Journey to America."

The ship depicted in the photo is indeed called the Belgenland; however, it is NOT the one that was in service in 1902. There were 3 ships by that name. The one depicted is the Bengenland III, which had not yet even been constructed in 1902.
