<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 25972634, member: 104064&quot;]I&#039;d guess August 22-31, 1896 were the dates of a transatlantic voyage, and 9 days seems about right for that at the time. &quot;The Stormy Petrel&quot; is a historical romance book written in 1892. Perhaps someone was commemorating the book they read on the voyage? The fact that it&#039;s in quotes implies a title and not the bird. I couldn&#039;t find anything indicating that the ship was nicknamed after the bird, which was my first thought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
