Arcturus (steamship)

SS Arcturus was a passenger ship of the Finland Steamship Company operating primarily on the route between Hanko, Finland and Hull, England via Copenhagen, Denmark. Built in 1898 by Gourlay Brothers shipyard in Dundee, Scotland, the Arcturus remained in service until 1956. In its earlier years it was one of the primary ships that Finnish emigrants sailed on when heading to North America. After disembarking at Hull, such emigrants would typically take a train to Liverpool before boarding a transatlantic liner.
