New York Times, May 10, 1852 (arrived Sunday May 9) Bark Juno (Brem.,) [captain] Adgard, Bremen, 50 ds, mdse. and 194 passengers to [agents] Pavenstedt & Schumacker The previous issue of the NYT noted the ship "below", that is in the outer harbour and named her as the Junior. -- Harry Dodsworth Ottawa Ontario Canada af877@freenet.carleton.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------
