According to the New York _Evening Post_, the British brig COLLINA,
[Charles L.] Hawes, master, arrived at New York on 1 May 1832, 34 days
from Biddeford, in ballast, to order, with 48 passengers. You will find a
microfilm copy of the passenger manifest for this voyage, dated 2 May
1832, in National Archives Microfilm Publication M237, roll 16, list #247
for 1832. You can borrow a copy of this microfilm through AGLL, any LDS
(Mormon) Family History Center (Family History Library microfilm
#0002261), or Interlibrary Loan.

According to the _Evening Post_, the British brig EUPHEMIA, [Samuel]
Vine, master, arrived at New York on 8 May 1832, from Biddeford 28 March
1832, in ballast, to order, with 39 passengers. You will find a
microfilm copy of the passenger manifest for this voyage, dated 17 May
1832, in National Archives Microfilm Publication M237, roll 16, list #312
for 1832. You can borrow a copy of this microfilm through the sources
listed above.

Unfortunately, the clearances and sailings listed by the New York _Evening
Post_ are incomplete, and I am unable to determine when, and for what
port, either the COLLINA or the EUPHEMIA cleared. You can find this
information in the semi-weekly newspaper _Shipping and Commercial List
and New York Price Current_, which is available on microfilm through
Interlibrary Loan.
