Edward,

This was the JAN BREYDEL, a 3,414 gross ton ship, length 340ft x beam
40ft, one funnel, three masts, rigged for sail, iron hull, single
screw, speed 11 knots.
Built by C.Mitchell & Co, Walker-on-Tyne (engines by T. Clark & Co,
Newcastle), she was launched for the Engels Line of Antwerp in
Jan.1880. She left Newcastle on 16th Aug.1880 for New York and Antwerp
and started regular Antwerp to New York voyages for the joint Engels -
White Cross Line service on 25th Sep.1880. Her last voyage on this
service started 19th Jul.1888 and she was then sold to the Thingvalla
Line of Copenhagen and renamed DANMARK. She sailed from Antwerp on
27th Sep.1888 for New York and Copenhagen, and on 21st Nov.1888
started her first voyage from Copenhagen to Christiania, Christiansand
and New York. On 6th Apr.1889 she sank at sea, the passengers and crew
being rescued by the Atlantic Transport Line ship MISSOURI.[North

I AM LOOKING FOR INFO ON A SHIP THAT BROUGHT MY GREAT-GRANDPARENTS TO
U.S.A. FROM GERMANY IN 1882 NAMED THE "BREYDEL". THEIR NAMES WERE
FRIEDERICH AND LOUISA DANNER. HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THE BREYDEL?
