- Leander is listed on a number of passenger lists. The first one I found was on 30 December 1911 when he went from Port aux Basques to North Sydney on the Invermore. He was listed as 19 years old, a fisherman looking for work as a labour. On the 14 December 1912 he arrived once again in North Sydney from Port aux Basques on the Bruce.
