History
John Henry Wye graduated with a degree in medicine from McGill University in 1868. He later served as ship's doctor on board the Allan Line's steamer, "S.S. Pomeranian," making five transatlantic crossings between London and Montreal. Aboard this and other ships, Wye also traveled to the Far East and the East Indies. He registered his medical practice in England as of 1875, where he likely spent the rest of his days.
