Elder Dempster Music
This music recording was collected by Andrew Ferguson who has kindly agreed to have it uploaded to our site. We think that the music could have been played on board Elder Dempster Line ships, but we have not been able to verify this. If you have any further information relating to this music recording please contact us via this website.
