Jeffrey I am not a NY harbour expert so have copied the list on this so they can give you more details on what being outside the Bar is. As for the other questions -- I would say, yes, the ship encountered some bad weather off Newfoundland and spent 15 days in that area in bad seas. In company with the Edith I am sure just means that both of the ships were in the same area. I tried looking for some account or report on the bad weather but did not find anything. Regards..
