Holger, are sure about the name of the ship. I can not locate a ship by
that
name.
Here is something:
DOCTOR BARTH
The DOCTOR BARTH was a 3-masted, square-rigged ship, built in Apendrade,
Schleswig (now Denmark), in 1853/55, by T. A. Andersen; Bielbrief Apenrade 26
October 1855. 317 Commerzlasten; 51,4 x 8,3 x 5,9 meters (170' x 30' 7" x 21'
5" Hamburg measurement, length x beam x depth of hold). The original owners
were Thomas Julius Andersen, son of the builder (2/3), and the Hamburg
shipowner Robert Miles Sloman (1/3); Sloman acquired full ownership of the vessel in
1857. In October 1874, Sloman sold the DOCTOR BARTH to Nyholm, in Copenhagen;
I have no record of her later history; however, if she was registered with
the Bureau Veritas (the Continental equivalent to Lloyd's), it is possible
that the Bureau's annual shipping register may contain some later information on
her. To determine whether the Bureau Veritas registers contain any later
information on the DOCTOR BARTH, contact The Mariners' Museum, 100 Museum Dr.,
Newport News, VA 23606-3798, which contains the most complete collection of
American and foreign ship registers in the United States. Masters:1855-1857 -
C. Koch, 1857 - J. H. Niemann, 1858-1868 - H. Meyer, 1869-1874 - C. Bockwoldt.
Journeys: 1855/1857 - from Apenrade/intermediate ports/London 1857-1873 -
almost exclusively to New York, except a journey in 1857 New York/Hull; 1861/62
New York/Swansea; 1866/67, 1867, 1868/69 New York/Bremerhaven; 1868 New
York/Geestemunde; 1870/71 New York/Havre, 1873/1874 - Victoria (Brazil) /Dona
