Upper Decks: Water Ration

Cargo Ship Dept: Their daily water ration of a quarter litre per person never changed during the months at sea, which gave them hope that their journey was organized and the Sun Sea was well-stocked, according to The Star. The women and children were in the top and upper decks of the vessel and slept in tents; the men slept in hammocks below. When the weather turned bad, as it did frequently during the voyage, everyone had to move inside the ship, according to the woman, who spoke through an interpreter and vANCOUVER The days and nights on board the MV Sun Sea seemed endless but for some of the women on the cargo ship heading toward Canada, there were hopeful signs that their voyage had a destination in sight. We made tea with rainwater and we used salt water to bathe, said one of the women, now in detention in Burnaby. The water was not clean. We have lots of scratches from bathing in sea water. As reported in the news.
