Hello to Everyone on the List,

    I have a question that I hope someone can answer. I'm looking for =
    websites that talk about German sailing schools in the 1800's. My =
    husband's great-great-great-great-grandfather was a sailor out of =
    Bremen. He broke both his legs, which prompted his emigration to the =
    USA.
    I know this is not food for this list, but hoped someone might know of =
    some websites where I could learn more about these schools, and perhaps =
    the one that Anton attended.

    Thanks much,

    Ginny Knipper

In the early 1800's was a sailor school in Steinfeld-Mühlen (Oldenburg procince), far away from the coast.
This was particularly for season workers as fisherman and whaling in Netherland.
