Subject: East Indian Indenture Immigration W.I. Empress Eugenie

I am very happy to see more involvement in the thread. Thanks to all who are contributing.
I thought the name Empress Eugenie sounded familiar, and was a ship. My suspicions were confirmed. It was a ship among those transporting Labourers from Calcutta to the West Indies.
There was also an Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, who took refuge in England during the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) and stayed there after Napoleon III's death in 1873, until 1920 when she died (in Spain on a visit).
The link to the ships' list is below.
