My g grandmother arrived in NY 1 Nov 1884 on the ship HARMONIA. Does anyone have any information on this ship or perhaps a picture? Thanks. Mary
Mary As Sue and Ted have noted the ship was Harmmonia. From the NY Times of Oct 22, 1884 is this: LATEST FOREIGN SHIPPING NEWS. HAVRE, Oct. 21.--The Hamburg-American Line steamship Hammonia, Capt. Schwenzen, from Ham- burg, sld. [sailed] hence to-day for New-York. Next she appears Oct 29: INCOMING STEAMSHIPS. ... DUE SATURDAY, NOV. 1. City of Berlin, Land, Liverpool, Oct. 23. Hammonia, Schwensen, Hamburg, Oct. 19. Holland, Milligan, London, Oct. 16. Katie, Petrowsky, Gothenburg, Oct. 18. Next mention of her was that she was due to sail back to Europe on Nov. 6. I also checked the London Times and got this in the shipping news of Oct 21, 1884: DOVER, Oct. 20.--The North German Lloyd steamer Rhein, from Bremen for New York; the Hamburg- American steamer Gellert, from New York for Hamburg; the Hamburg-American steamer Hammonia, from Ham- burg for New York; the Nederland-American steamer Maasdam, from Rotterdam for New York; and the Belgian Red Star Line steamer Do Ruyter, from New York for Antwerp, passed here to-day.

Hello Mary, I can't find a HARMONIA in 1882 - could this be the HAMMONIA? Did she sail from Germany? regards Ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Dess" <kendess@comcast.net> To: <THESHIPSLIST@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 24, 2010 4:56 PM Subject: [TSL] Harmonia > > My g grandmother arrived in NY 1 Nov 1884 on the ship HARMONIA.
