I understand that my Grandmother immigrated from Azores to Boston, MA with her 3 sisters in 1866. This ship left the “sound” at New Bedford, MA/Providence, RI on a three year trip following the gulf stream up around Greenland and Iceland down the west coast of Europe, boiling blubber on the decks of the ship, landing at the Portuguese Azores to refit their ships before the last leg of the journey home. Jennie Solomon and her 3 sisters were old enough to leave without permission and travelled to America. The men of military age made arrangements with the whaler to smuggle them on board. The trip took one month to cross the Atlantic and Ended back at the “sound”.
I am trying to identify Jennie’s sisters, is it futile to think there are any ships records that would tell me their names?
