| Brooklynbabe | I started this post trying to find the name of a Norwegian Clipper Ship that was in New York Harbor between 1917-1919. I now have the name , and it was the Bragdon. I understand there have been many Norwegian ships of this name. I do not know if this was ever an immigrant ship at an earlier point in it's history.
This is a ship believed by my family to be the "Last Norwegian Clipper ship to go sround the world" and the ship on which my grandfather , John Stanton Avery (Also known as Robert Avery) first sailed as a crew member. He signed on in New York and was gone for two years, and the ship had to spend 6 months or so in Sidney while repairs were made. He was gone for 2 years.
Any help anyone can give me finding out more about this ship would be very appreciated.
I do not know if this is the correct site for this inquiry, because I do not know if there were any Norwegian Immigrants on this ship, but if it is not the correct site, I would be grateful if someone could give me an idea of where to look.
Thank you so much![8)] |
