The steamship lines to the United States were particularly lucrative considering the superb tourism branding of the Land Of Evangeline the DAR management, primarily the brain child of Percy Gifkins the general manager, had pushed into the New England area. Everyone wanted an Evangeline vacation and the steamships brought them from New York and Boston in droves.
