Yes, he arrived on the British Steamer Germanic to New York Harbor on July 12, 1886. Passenger #92 of 609. From Liverpool via Queenstown, from Christiania, Norway. Departure date from Liverpool not indicated. You can rent this passenger list microfilm from a local Family History Center.

There is information on this site about the Germanic and also pictures of Hull and the port of Liverpool.
