Unfortunately my information comes from a website and not original
documents. I'm begining think to the route was from Canada to River Clyde
in Scotland.

Thanks for the replies, everyone.

It appears to have been a commerial shipping port in the late 1800's.
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.

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.

Are we talking about "timber laths" - thin strips of wood - or "timber
lathes" - machine tools? I'd assumed the former, hence the suggestion of
Indonesia in my previous post, but if the ship was carrying tools it's
highly unlikely to have come from the far east and Bert may well be right.
(He may well be right if it's timber too, of course!)
