Hello Dave

You're in luck, because PA ships lists have been kept, and
are on microfilm, as far back as 1800 (it was not a
requirement that they be kept until 1820)

There are indexes you can use to search for the surname you
are interested in

For a complete list of film numbers for ships going to PA
after 1820, see

http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/filmnos_pa.shtml

Find the film you need and write down the
NARA or Family History Centre film number you need.

Then you can order the film in to your nearest FHC or have
NARA do the lookup for you.

The staff of the National Archives will undertake a search
of the original records for a fee

If you want to try your luck ONline, there is a custom
search engine that will search most Internet sites with
ships going to PA.

See
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/usa_genealogy/
and choose PENNSYLVANIA from the state choices.

Scroll down to the yellow search engine.

You can also search ancestry's online collection (fee-
based)
