Hello Listers I search informations about a ship called Orpheus sailing from New York in July 1838 to England (Liverpool) Can somebody help me ? Best regards Jean-Louis http://www.philateliemarine.fr/ PS about the post of 2 august "Passenger list for ship arriving in New Orleans in 1838" I may correct some words For instance "20 Darimon Arnaud Eugine ?? ?ij?itier Bordeaun" will become "20 Darimon Arnaud Eugène bijoutier Bordeaux" (bijoutier means jeweller) Cutt?ateur = cultivateur (farmer) ?onnelier = tonnelier (cooper) Perrugier = perruquier (wigmaker) Lingire = lingère (linen maid) Colswrteur = colporteur (peddler) Harloger = horloger (watch and clock assembler) Re????leur = remouleur (grinder) Nigaciant = négociant (trader or merchant) Menuiseir = menuisier (carpenter) Hope this helps
Jean-Louis From the London Times of 1838 in the Ship News column: Jan 2, 1838 the Orpheus, for New York, sailed from Liverpool. She appears many times after this sailing back and forth to NY. In the Aug 8, 1838 column under "Canadian And United States Papers" it says the Orpheus was a packet-ship, Captain Bailey, in charge and it took her "remarkable quick passage of 16 days" from NY to Liverpool. Maybe this is the trip you are asking about. Regards..
