Description

The purpose of this series is to enable researchers to link their emigrant ancestorsΓÇÖ first whereabouts in The usa with their port of embarkation in ScotlandΓÇöand thus in all probability the emigrantsΓÇÖ regions of origin. Based mostly on sailings documented in latest newspapers and other sources found in North American archives, Volume II identifies an additional 1,500 ships that made thousands of transatlantic passages between 1830 and 1860. For all of these voyages, the notices announced the departure of a particular ship that had the capacity and opportunity to carry passengers. Mr. Dobson has arranged the vessels in alphabetical order and gives, for every voyage, port of origin, port and date of arrival, name of captain, source of information, and from time to time the selection of passengers. Whilst not exhaustive, Volume II brings us closer to identifying the names, ports, and dates of departure/arrival of nearly all of ships that participated on this essential exodus.
