Jumping ship is in one of these books below. I wrote about this in my how-to guide: "Jumping ship" refers to a crew member entering the U.S. without a document. If your ancestor "jumped ship" you will want to check crew lists for Boston (1917 - 1943), New Bedford (1917- 1943), New York (1897 -195

Greetings, This must have been a common practice. My GGrandfather, Jose Pereira, also jumped off of a whaling ship around 1865. He walked from Nantucket to New Bedford and never left again! He married a girl that they sent for that he'd never met.he was from Sao Jorge...she was from Pico..

There is no way anyone could walk from Nantucket to New Bedford. Nantucket is an island in the middle of the ocean. He must have taken some kind of boat. SFSmith **Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make dinner for $10 or less. (http://food.aol.com/frugal-feasts?ncid=emlc

I got a chuckle out of this! SFSmith is correct- Nantucket is 30 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. That'd be quite a walk (swim). For what it's worth, I do believe that Nantucket has an extensive Azorean info center in their library. Nantucket and New Bedford were instrumental in the Yan
