For many Luxembourgers
the port of departure from Europe was Antwerp (Anvers in French and
Antwerpen in Flemish). Located on the Scheldt River in
Belgium, Antwerp was the closest port to landlocked Luxembourg.
The Derulle-Wigreux & Sons travel agency in Luxembourg City booked passage for many departing Luxembourgers in the nineteenth century, who often sailed on Red Star Line vessels. Do you have any old Red Star Line objects (postcards, trunks, diaries,
etc.)? Is there a travel story in your family of an ancestor who left for
the New World with the Red Star Line? A new museum about the Line is scheduled to open in
2012. Staff would like to hear from you as they prepare to launch!
