Case 12, Item 10
This carrying basket was used by an early Chinese immigrant, Chow Kwong Ho, who used it to carry his belongings to Canada on a C.P.R. steamer from Hong Kong circa 1920. It is on display in contrast to a chest carried by a European settler who came across the Atlantic on the Empress of Ireland.
