Dear Listers - I am looking for information on the arrival of the barque Arab to Liverpool (or another UK port) from Manila, sometime around May, June, July 1882. The ship departed Manila in January of that year and departed Liverpool on July 20 1882 for a return trip to Manila. It is a German or Prussian ship. Any information, including the captain listed, would be much appreciated. Thanks and regards, Rhonda

Hi Rhonda According to the Glasgow Herald of Friday 5 May 1882 the ARAB arrived in Queenstown (Ireland) from Manilla on 4th May. According to the Liverpool Mercury of Monday 8 May 1882 the ARAB left Queenstown for Liverpool on 7 May. According to the Glasgow Herald of Wednesday 10 May 1882 the ARAB arrived in Liverpool from Manilla. No master's name mentioned, I'm afraid. :-( Regards Gordon From: "Rhonda Staskow" <rhonda.staskow@gmail.com> To: <mariners@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2011 11:04 AM Subject: [MAR] Barque Arab - arrival to Liverpool in 1882 >Dear Listers - >I am looking for information on the arrival of the barque Arab to Liverpool >(or another UK port) from Manila, sometime around May, June, July 1882.
