Turnaround for passenger liners in New York was usually about five days, unless repairs were required. Whenever possible, repairs were carried out in Liverpool. the home port. d) I don't know about New York but many Canadian passenger lists are divided into sections from Liverpool and Queenstown. The Tripoli was a Cunard liner in service from 1864 - 1872. -- Harry Dodsworth Ottawa Ontario Canada af877@freenet.carleton.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Listers, Perhaps someone will have some information about this ship. The 10 members of the Pellinger family I'm researching are recorded in 'New York 1820-1850 Passengers and Immigration Lists' as sailing from Antwerp to New York (1846) on the ship 'Dankbaurherd'. I'm unable to find record of the ship. I did find a record of a similar name, the ship 'Dankbaarheid' about 1782, but that seems far to early to be the same ship. Can anyone suggest how to pin down some information (and possibly a picture), and the correct name? Many thanks for your interest and effort. Kind regards, Judith Adam Toronto

My GGGGrandfather John Mark was first mate on a ship named Caroline in 1860/1861. Would this be the same ship? It was registered in Liverpool and had the Official Number 15060. I think it was later registered in Bombay. What was your dad's connection?

Upon further investrigation, the Castle Garden website (www.castlegarden.org) has the Dankbaarheid listed under that name, but surprisingly does not list what company owned her. Here's what they show on Judith's ancestors: http://castlegarden.org/quick_search_result.php?p_first_name=&p_last_name=Pellinger&m_arrival_date_start=1845&m_arrival_end=1847&submit.x=49&submit.y=14 ***** Judith Adam wrote: Hello Listers, Perhaps someone will have some information about this ship.

Hi All I have been looking for my grandmothers sister's husband Samuel Freedman he married Bella Levy on Nov 6 1912 , shorty after I believe he went to New York . I have found my grandmothers sister Bella(Freedman) traveling on the ship Campania Sept 13 1913 to meet her husband Sam Freedman at 849 Southern Blvd in the Bronx that is where her other sister Sarah Jackson was living with her husband at the time. He was 24 yrs. old in 1912 when they got married, I have checked all kinds of spellings on the Ellis Island site with no luck can someone maybe give me some other ideas? On their marriage Certificate it states he was 24 yrs old and a Furriers Traveller Thank You Roe Goffredo

I found several references to Dankbaarheid, which I assume is the correct spelling of your ancestor's ship. (The word is Dutch for "thankfulness," was was a fairly common name for ships of the Dutch Indian Companies, both East and West.) In my brief checking, I didn't find any exhaustive lists, but they must exist somewhere. My next step would be to look for Dankbaarheids in a general way, then hone in on the likely ones for a trip from Antwerp to NY. Good luck!

There were to many ship Virginias in the world. I am looking for ship information about the Virginia that departed Bremen and sailed to New York arriving on 24 August 1849. It was probably a sailing ship, the captain on that voyage was E.A. Janssen. I think the ship would have been of Swedish or German registry but am not sure. One family as passengers were the Peter Larsson's. Information is requested for an exhibit in the works and perhaps there is a drawing or painting of the vessel somewhere. Thanks group. J.F.

I am trying to trace the movements of the SS Tripoli arrived in the Port of New York - 3 April 1866 - from Liverpool-Queenstown-New York 1866. If I am deciphering the microfilm copy of the original manifest correctly - it is of the SS Tripoli arriving in the Port of New York - 3 April 1866 - from Liverpool-Queenstown-New York. My G/G/G Grandparents are listed on the manifest # 131 - James Tierney age: 24 - Country: Ireland and my G/G/G Grandmother # 132 - Mary Tierney age: 23 - Country: Ireland.

I'm interested in the fate of the Galileo, on whom my great uncle emigrated to New York in 1919. Do you know where I can perhaps find a photo of her, or more about her unfortunate demise in New York harbour? Thank you. Richard Clayton 01252 542 098 07887 595 230 richard@beacons.co.uk

My Great Grandfather and his family immigrated on the Bremen Bark Olbers in 1867. Are there any drawings, paintings of the Olbers or of a similar ship. I would like my include a picture of some sort in my family's history scrapbook - especially for the young people. dolores desideri Looking for: Desideri, Innocenti, Lupori, Lenzi, Priban, Preban, Janecek, and Antos.

Hi folks thought I would try just one more time. I have the naturalisation papers for my Christian Nielsen (Nelsen) who it states arrived in NSW in November 1873 on the "Costal Adolf". Now we have established that a ship with this name didnt exist, I was wondering if the Gustav Adolf/Adolph was anywhere near Australian waters in 1873. Christian is stated as a mariner in the papers, I am yet to find his entry into Australia. I wonder that an error such as the name of the ship would be entered on his naturalisation papers. The last time I enquired I received an email that stated that the above ship was near Australia in 1873 but have trawled through the internet and can find no record of this. Any help greatfully accepted. Maureen

It's is extremely difficult to get reliable pictures of early immigrant ships, as I'm sure Ted and Sue will tell you. You can get an idea of what a 200-tonne cargo ship of the era looked like, but unless you can find an illustration of unassailable provenance, you pretty much have to rely on generalities. Sometimes it's so much easier to be descended from a family that came over in 1910! There's lots of pictures of Anchor Line's SS California, photographs and lithographs, but the more famous ships like Mayflower and Confidence left no contemporary illustrations. Good luck in your hunt. Sandy Morrey <smorrey@socal.rr.com> wrote: Hi, I know that my ancestor, Edmund Goodenow, arrived in Boston, MA, in 1638 aboard the ship Confidence.

Can't answer your first question, but here's a defintion of "bark" from the Free Online Dictionary (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/bark): bark 3 also barque (bärk) n. 1. A sailing ship with from three to five masts, all of them square-rigged except the after mast, which is fore-and-aft rigged. 2. A small vessel that is propelled by oars or sails.

Hello, My documentation says that Robert Morrey (or Morry) met his wife on board the ship (name unknown). He was born in 1792 (best guess, age 35) or 1795 (age 32) or 1797 (age 30) (documentation very fuzzy about this). Robert probably was traveling alone, but surely Robert and Sarah were on the same ship, but having not yet met when they left England. Later wife was Sarah Bradfield, born 1789 (age 38) or 1805 (age 22--best guess), traveling with parents Joseph Bradfield (born 1777, Eng.) and Isabella Watt Bradfield (born 1775, Eng.). Most documentation says the ship landed 18 June 1827, other documentation suggests 1828. I would like to know the name of this ship, and if a picture is available, that would be very nice. Sorry, but I cannot be very clear on the birthdates or ages of my ancestors (many conflicting bits of documentation). Thank you very much for this assistance. Sandy Morrey smorrey@socal.rr.com

Hello, I wish I knew more, but all I have documented is Eva B. Yager Toni (or Thoeni), born 1815, left Switzerland in 1865, aged 50, with one son and two daughters. Four of her daughters were born in Switzerland and died in California, so this sounds confusing; I am not sure which daughters traveled her on which trip, if indeed there were multiple trips. One daughter traveled with her own husband (another email). daughter Elsbeth Toni, born 1840, aged 25, immigrated in 1865, with her mother (died in Calif.). daughter Margreth Toni, born 1847, aged 18, may have traveled with her mother (died in CA). possibly daughter Anna Christina Toni, born 1843, aged 22, may have traveled with mother (died-unknown place). son Jacob Toni, born 1865 in Switzerland, died in CA., may have traveled with mother. son John Toni, birth date/location not known, lived in CA I'm sorry these names may contradict my earlier statement about 1 son and 2 daughters. I have tried to list the children that were born in Switzerland and died in California, therefore probably came with mother Eva. So far as is known, Eva B. Yager married Hans John Toni-Thoeni (born 1789 in Switzerland) in 1839, and he was known to have died in Amador County, CA, USA after 1866. This might mean that he traveled with his wife OR on another ship with other children. Thank you for all your efforts. Sandy Morrey smorrey@socal.rr.com

Hello, Unfortunately, I do not know the name of the ship, nor its port of origin. Peter M. Yager arrived in New Orleans in 1852. He was born in Switzerland in 1834, and possibly left from Bremen, Germany. He would have been 18 yrs old when he took this trip, and he went more or less directly to California, to the gold mines. I have heard that he took this trip at least two times. On this or another trip from Switzerland, his brothers and sisters traveled with him, for they all ended up in California. Family members are: Maria Yager, born 1836 Switzerland George Yager, born 1830 Switzerland Bartlei (Bartholomaus) Yager, born 1823 Switzerland Elsbeth Yager, born 1825 Switzerland Paul (Paulus) Yager, born 1821 Switzerland Ursula Yager, born 1819 Switzerland All of these siblings might have traveled together on at least one trip from Switzerland to the U.S., but not necessarily to New Orleans. One story says that at least Peter traveled to California by ship, probably through Panama, and probably not around the "Horn". Thank you for your efforts, whether or not you find what I am looking for. I do appreciate that you are THERE to help us with research! Sandy Morrey smorrey@socal.rr.com
