On February 10, 1919, the first official dependent ship, the Tunisian, arrived at Saint John, New Brunswick after WWI. An Order-in-Council was passed in January with plans to bring soldiers' families home to Canada. Many were war brides. It was the first of 73 dependent ships in 1919. While each ship carried the families of soldiers, it also had civilians travelling on board as well.
