"Other than the life-story of Klaas de Jong, published in a regionally distributed book called Cauliflower Crown in the 1960s, not much had been written about the group of 68 landverhuizers which boarded the ship Sea Horse in Amsterdam for Hull, England, on April 1, 1893. There, they transferred to the ocean liner, S.S. Numidian. This ship took them, along with over 1,000 others, to Halifax, Canada.
