My great grandfather, Jose Pereira aka Joseph Perry, from Sao Jorge, signed on as a cabin boy, I think 1853 on the Caravan whaler and jumped some ship off the coast of Mass. in 1865, made it to New Bedford, found an Azorean bride from Pico to come marry him, (sister to a woman coming to marry a friend of his), had 12 children and lived the rest of his life making cigars, a trade he learned when the whaler stopped in Brazil for an extended time......my FFinder shows 3rd cousins in Brazil......I wonder......

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.

I often wondered if these people obtained a Passportes from the Azores since they entered the US illegally, did they leave the Azores illegally.

There is no list that I know of that just lists the stowaways into the USA. Rosemarie From: Antonio Roque Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2014 5:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Stowaways 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.?-- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
