The sister of my gr-gr-grandmother related in a newspaper article about some of the pioneers of Bellingham, WA how her family came to California from Iowa, then decided to come to "the Far Northwest, and came by boat." She was 20 years old then, and arrived in Bellingham on September 22, 1889. Where would I find information on any boats that arrived in Bellingham in 1889? Did the local paper publish lists of the people who arrived on boats or ships? Thank you!
