Default where is/was Mirimuchi?

Specifically I'm researching a cargo ship voyage in 1893 from Miriuchi to
Clyde (Port Clyde, Maine, USA?) passing by the North Ireland coast with
timber lathes as cargo.

Today's Internet search engines don't find anything. (Apparently, there are
limits to Google and its siblings.)

Are there other newsgroups or website that might be familar with old city
names?


Truman,

It looks to me like there may be a miss spelling involved. There is a
city in New Brunswick, Canada named Miramichi, which, with a load of
timber lathes, would make sense. I also suspect the destination may
have been Clyde in Britain - thus the Irish Coast.
