I wasn't sure about the two last statements above, i.e. they were destroyed
in a fire, but then they should be somewhere anyway??

The New York arrival manifests have been microfilmed, just in case you have
not accessed the one that should contain the manifests for your arrival
date/ship already.

***Passenger and Crew Lists of Vessels Arriving at New York, NY, 1897--1957.
T715. 8,892 rolls. (%Rolls 6675--8892 are new listings, and a complete list
of rolls has been added.)***

There are other microfilm series for "new York" arrivals -- apparently not
New York City. These (and all arrival port films) are all listed at
http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/immigration/immigrat.html

You can check the above site for more information.
