ANTON CHVATAL'S DIARY ABROAD THE KRONPRINZESSIN CECILIE, JOURNEY TO AMERICA 1909

This page belongs to greg krenzelok.

The Anton Chvatal family was on the same voyage to America in November 1909

Several years ago I received a e-mail from David Bond, he had found this website on the KRONPRINZESSIN CECILIE and was amazed to find that his grandfather Anton Chvatal had came across at the same time on the KRONPRINZESSIN CECILIE as my grandfather Paul Krenzelok. We thought how incredible it was that both of our grandfathers were on the same ship and on the same voyage. This has created a friendship and bond between our two families. We like to dream of what is was like for our grandfathers and families coming across on the KRONPRINZESSIN CECILIE which like the RMS TITANIC was a luxury liner of the first class in its day. Dave and his family has shared with us the wonderful story of his grandfather coming to America and will also be sharing the short diary written by his grandfather of the time spent on the KRONPRINZESSIN CECILIE with his family on the crossing. Anton Chvatal’s diary aboard ship was a pocketsize booklet published by the Bremen Line consisting of 15 pages. The first 6 pages were advertisements about the Bremen Line and the rest of the pages were for the diary. I would like to thank Dave and his family for sharing the diary and booklet with all of us, what a wonderful piece of KRONPRINZESSIN CECILIE and family history this is!
