An Odd Frederic Cliffe Question

[edurban]

I collect ocean liner memorabilia, especially items relating to the Inman and International Line (later American Line) steamer 'City of New York'.  I was just looking over the Saloon (First Class) passenger list from the maiden voyage of the 'C of NY', which sailed from Liverpool to NY on Aug. 1, 1888, and I see the name "Mr. Fredk. Cliffe".  Anyone know if our composer made a voyage to New York in 1888?

Well, the composer's Christian name was "Frederic" - no "k"...

Not necessarily a problem, there are plenty of typos...

David

[Alan Howe]

Not necessarily, I agree. But I have adjusted the topic title nevertheless!

[Pengelli]

First class,eh? I probably would have been swabbing the deck!

Also in First Class were Lady Evelyn and Lady Norah Hely-Hutchinson, first cousins of the composer Victor Hely-Hutchinson.

So you do have some sort of composer connection there! He did,
(albeit,Freder-ic),visit Norway,according to Wikipedia(?).
