Hi Lorine, Thank you. I wasn't aware of that. It explains a lot. I was also trying to find SSAustrian that was suppose to have arrived in Boston in the mid-late 1880-1890 or so. Barbara

By 1889 she was sailing to South America (until 1893) so it looks like you can narrow your search to pre early 1889 time-frame. Her description doesn't mention Boston arrivals 1885-1888, but she was still stopping there as well as Philadelphia through to 1889. Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/
