Wow, lots of ship names to input. Genealogybank.com was misbehaving a bit tonight so was unable to look for all but did see that there were 88 references for Breifond, 6 for Birgit, and 31 for Clauseus.
Did see that Clauseus was a steamer for the Green Star line, was launched in December 1919, built by Northwest Steel Company and carried sulpher and railroad ties and these items were reported in the Oregonian on the west coast of US 1919 & 1920.
Looks like Chris Christofferson from the passenger /crew lists was a rolling stone, that is, gathering no moss! |
