Harry Dodsworth Ottawa Ontario Canada af877@freenet.carleton.ca replied to my query (below) regarding the Ship Atmosphere, on which I think that my GGF Edward Finigan arrived from Ireland: "The New York Times (microfilm) notice reads: Arrivals, June 15 Ship Atmosphere (Br.), [captain] LaGarde, Liverpool, May 6, with mdse and 525 passengers to [agents] Tapscott & Co. Had moderate west and westsouthwest winds to the westward of the banks. "So another uneventful passage. Not all British ships were listed in Lloyd's Register, particularly if they were self-insured.
