Notes:

It appears that Peter went to the US and spent many years as a seaman. He is sometimes listed as an Newfoundlander and on other occasions as Irish, English, or British. Of course, there were a quite a few other Peter M(a)cBrides, of various nationalities, listed in the manifests, however Peter's stature of 5' 10" and ranging from 185 to 200 lbs. distinguished him from most of the others. Here are a few entries where it seems pretty certain that it is Peter McBride, the Newfoundlander, who is recorded.

This manifest shows a Peter McBride arriving at New York on the vessel, Benedict, from Para, Brazil on June 4 1919. He is described as a seaman, 43 years old, 5' 10" and 190 lbs., and a native of Nfld. He indicated that prior to this voyage he had last been in New York on May 20, 1919. A notation (crossed out on the manifest) stated that Peter was a "seaman workaway"?

Source Citation: Year: 1920; Microfilm serial: T715; Microfilm roll: T715_2825; Line: 5.

The manifest of the S.S. Renaico arriving at the Port of New York from Valparaiso (Chile) on August 7, 1920 lists a Peter McBride, Newfoundlander, aged 44 years, 11 months, seaman, single. Peter and eleven other men are also noted in a separate letter which states (they are) "American seaman, former members of the crew of the M/V SANTA ELENA which vessel was destroyed by fire in the port of Valparaiso on July 26th. These men are being returned to New York, the port of their shipment." The letter goes on to say that "All of the above seamen hold Certificates of Discharge and Seaman's Identification Card, and there should be no difficulty with the Immigration Inspector at the Port of New York". Their passage had been paid by W.R. Grace & Co.

Peter indicated that he would be staying with Gus Brown at 51 South St., New York. He was described in the manifest as being 5' 10", fair complexion, brown hair and blue eyes, with a tattoo mark on his right arm. The manifests states that his Place of Birth was St. John's, Newfoundland, however, it is likely that this was Peter McBride of Caplin Bay. The Ferryland baptismal records show that Peter McBride was baptized on Sept. 10, 1876, meaning that he would have actually been only 43 years and 11 months old in August 1920. The age in the manifest is very likely an error. ----------------------------------------------------------------
