| Caspar appears to have departed Germany from Bremen. The ship whose manifest he appears is the "Barque Republik". It arrived in New York on Wednesday,June 3rd 1840. I found records that this same ship, with a different master (S. Steeken) sailed from Bremen Germany to the Port of New Orleans January 14, 1839. The term Barque is defined as: any vessel with a particular type of rig. This comprises three (or more) masts, fore-and-aft sails on the aftermost mast and square sails on all other masts." The Master of the ship on June 3rd 1840 was D. Fegeler. The ship displaced 280 tons. All Departure records for Bremen prior to 1920 were destroyed during WWII. |
