Manifest of the brig Porpoise departing Baltimore on December 11, 1841, and arriving to New Orleans on January 07, 1842.

Baltimore, Maryland, was a significant 19th-century port of entry, particularly for German, Irish, and Eastern European immigrants. Passenger lists from Baltimore (available from the 1820s onward) often reflect settlers heading to the Midwest and Appalachian regions. Maryland’s maritime and railroad connections made it a key migration crossroads, and manifests can contain valuable information including sponsors, final destinations, and familial connections.
