A third class passenger ticket for the OLYMPIC's voyage of April 4, 1912, for 18 year old George Tracy who was immigrating to the United States from Cappamore, Ireland. He paid $33.75 for his ticket and arrived in New York on April 11, and he surely thanked his lucky stars a few days later when he heard about the TITANIC sinking with hundreds of immigrants aboard. George Tracy became a U.S. citizen in 1932. He and his wife and children lived in Brooklyn at that time, and he worked as a motorman, the driver of a streetcar.
