Does anyone know of sailing vessels leaving Liverpool
after 1880? By this time, most emigrants took steamships across,
but I want to find the last sailing vessels still plying the route
from Liverpool to New York or Quebec. (They were far cheaper,
albeit far slower!)

What shipping lines still used them in 1881? Vessel names?
