You may have already tried this but if not give it a shot. Most seaport city newpapers run a daily column re shipping news. It will usually provide arrivals and departures of commercial vessels, their moorings etc. If as you say you know the exact date of his arrival this would be an easy task. Good luck.

I KNOW the exact day my G-Grandfather arrived in Baltimore, but still have not found the ship he came on. Also we still do not know how he spelled his name in Germany. Even going to the archives in Stuttgart, Heidelberg, and Heilbronn didn't help. **************Get the Moviefone Toolbar.
