My Grandpa Slama arrived from Bohemia via Bremen on a North German Lloyd (or Norddeutscher Lloyd) Shipping Lines ship called the Karlsruhe. In searching for arrivals, I downloaded from the online searchable *Morton Allen Directory* at the Cimorelli website a list of all North German Lloyd arrivals to NYC for 1906, and the ship Trave arrived in NYC on March 23, 1906, June 3, 1906, and Oct 22, 1906. You can search for the 1907 arrival dates in NYC at this site: http://www.cimorelli.com/pie/nara/findmrt1.htm This site can connect you to other ways to search... the main page for the Cimorelli site is on Cyndi's list at http://www.CyndisList.com/ships.htm scroll down to SHIPS, PASSENGERS, AND CREW LISTS where you will see CIMO. That's the site. I was actually able, through a lot of websearching, to locate the German Maritime Museum (Deutsches Schiffahrtsmuseum), and through them have obtained a photograph of the Karlsruhe. They may very well have also a photo of the TRAVE, which you can purchase from them. Best of luck. Oh, BTW, my grandpa and his 2 relatives came through Baltimore, MD, rather than NYC. Gary D.
