Radov Chronicles © Joel Levin SHIP MANIFEST FOR OLYMPIC (RADOVS & CAROLS) AND FINLAND (MANDIBERGS) The Radovs Radovs came to the United States in 1908, 1911 and 1922. It is unclear what passage was booked for the first two trips, with only limited family members making the initial voyages. In 1908, Joe Radov and Raful Carl, with his older children Morris and Minnie, came. In 1911, Joe Radov returned for his wife, Cirka (Sarah), and two children, Sam and Gus, as well as his sister, Ida, to help care for the children should one need to be left at Ellis Island for quarantine. In 1922, when most of the Radovs arrived, it was aboard the R.M.S. Olympic. The passage (described further in Attachment 17, A76‐79), which began in Russia and Bucharest, departed from Cherbourg, France on the coast of Normandy. Luba Radov gave birth on ship, mid‐Atlantic, to Anna. The vessel itself, the Olympic, was the sister ship to the Titanic on the White Star Line. The earlier trip in 1911 by the Mandibergs was made on the U.S.S. Finland, a ship that, at least after some re‐chartering, joined the White Star Line in 1909. Like the occasionally troubled Finland, the Olympic could be a dangerous carrier. It collided with the H.M.S.
