This ship is actually The Endeavour, a restored ship, but in all respects it is the same as the ships which brought our ancestors to New England, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. The six to eight week journey typically began in April or May, to avoid high seas and bad weather. The Yorkshire ancestors frequently boarded in Hull, England, and disembarked in Halifax. Robert Ripley's family may have boarded in Whitby, a closer port. They then travelled overland to reach their new homes on the Chignecto Isthmus.
