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)]
