A barque of 490 tons with crew and 154 passengers on board, fully loaded, from Galway, Ireland to New York. I'm Also interested in the possible route it would have taken barring severe weather conditions which may have caused her to change course. Thanks for your help on my last question about the "Barbara", this would be the same ship. The answers where right on target. What speeds were these ships capable of?
