Vessels Cleared from Newfoundland Ports, 1836 & 1838.

Consider whether there were any vessels which visited Newfoundland during 1836 and 1838, but are possibly missed by this current listing? Newfoundland is not listed in plural of the voyages below. The Port of origin, and the destination Port, are usually recorded for the several voyages. Newfoundland more often, was considered as an interim lading port.
