My Name is Elizabeth McKay My late husband was the grandson of Captain Horatio McKay who was a Cunard captain for 40 years, two of his ships being the Ertruria and the Umbria. We have recently opened A trunk which to our great delight contained some very important historical photos and documents. We are in the process of logging all the information as well as searching for any other living relatives. His father (my husband's greatgrandfather) also served on the steam ships, as well as 3 of his brothers, we have found 2 of them but cannot find any record of Alexander McKay. We are also very keen to hear from any relatives who may be living in America as he spent much of his time their. If anyone has any information on this family I would be most interested to swap the information we have discovered ?

Yours in keen interest,
Elizabeth McKay

My name is Fraser McInnes. I am also a great grandson of a captain of Etruria!! It was captain James T. Potter, I don't know to much about him to be honest. All I have to go by is his obituary a few random pictures of him on some Cunarders and I have some of his uniform buttons, medals and a medal he won for rescuing the crew of a ship I believe while captaining Etruria in 1905. I'm really excited to be booked on the QE2's final transatlantic this Oct., so would love to know any more info on him or the Etruria before then!!
