My ancestor immigrated to America on the ship Arabic and landed at Castle Garden, NYC, on 21 Sep 1881. The place of origin is listed as Sweden and the port of departure as Liverpool. I would be very interested in a description of this ship if someone has it. Thanks. George Campbell

That is, (s)he would have embarked on a "feeder ship" from Sweden (or Norway) to a British east coast port, then train to Liverpool to embark on a transatlantic ship.
