MAID OF JUDAH

I am a Bloodline of the Sampson that was a passenger on this Ship. I learned that my father's death certificates ties him to an Immigration File! His father name was Johnny Sampson!

According to wikipedia, Sir Charles Monro, 1st Baronet was born on the Maid of Judah on 15 June 1860. Monro's (no relation!) main claim to fame today is for organising the evacuation of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force from the Gallipoli beach head in December 1915: "Ottoman guns were able to strike the landing zones on all three beachheads, so evacuation casualties were estimated at thirty to forty per cent — Monro requested fifty-six hospital ships. On 19-20 December the two beachheads were evacuated without a single casualty, leaving behind only some spiked artillery and slaughtered mules. It was a masterly display by the commanders of the beachheads and their staffs. After further pressure from Monro, the evacuation of the remaining beachhead at Cape Helles was authorized on 28 December with the agreement of the French who had troops there. It was skillfully executed on the night of 8-9 January 1916, again astonishingly without casualties. They had taken off 83,048 men, 4,695 horses and mules, 1,718 vehicles, and 186 heavy guns." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Charles_Monro,_1st_Baronet In 1919 he ordered the resignation of Brigadier General Dyer for having commanded the brutal massacre of unarmed civilians at Amritsar in India on 13 April.
