The port of departure

Bremen

The German port from which the steamer sailed with Malke and the three children, in late October 1904.

Malke left Berdyansk in early August 1904 with the three children. They crossed southern Russia and central Europe to Germany, making for the port of Bremen. The journey was made by cart, and probably by train for some stretch.

In late October 1904 they sailed from Bremen in third class.
