Some of them were workers on ships. They would jump ship on the East coast and
then find their way to the West coast.
My uncle (by marriage) said that his father told him that they would jump ship
on the East coast. Then hide under the docks all day.
Some of the Portuguese in the area would come out at night and bring them food.

There is/are ship(s) that brought people from the Azores to the US illegally
and there is no ship's manifest documenting these people so trying to find them
in a ship's manifest is highly unlikely. I often wondered if these people
obtained a Passportes from the Azores since they entered the US illegally, did
they leave the Azores illegally.

Antonio,
At the end of the ship manifest (last page), the Captain (or purser,
whoever) would write a list of the passengers and how many had died, how many
were born and if any stowaways were found. There is no list that I know of that
just lists the stowaways into the USA.

How would they be recorded on a ship's manifesto?
Anyone seen a ship manifesto mentioning a stowaway?
Are there any records of stowaways from the Acores to the U.S.?
