Dear Radcliff and aghadowey,
This is my first post on RC and I am absolutely speechless at both of your responses! And... the kindness of the both of you working in concert to help me... I know that is what this site is all about but it's my first experience and I feel so blessed, truly! Now, I know what this young man did on board the ships although I hoped to find what eventually happened to him. Nonetheless, I am so very, very grateful!!
Thank you!

You can see the Boston passenger list for this voyage here - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:23X2-1K1 You can view the original image of the list, and be sure to click ahead to the 2nd page, as it has additional information. It says he was going to join his uncle Louis in Brooklyn, New York.

Dear Shellyesq:
Wow! Although sounding like a child, and I'm not, I SO am delighted to see further information. John "Jack's" Uncle Louis was MY grandfather! This story is becoming so alive and so very real thanks to you and the rest of you kind researchers.
May I ask you, and the others, how many ancestry sites do you feel one needs to be on?
Thanks again!
Warmly,
Joan

JOHN "JACK" CARNEY HAS BEEN FOUND!
Date of Death: 24 July 1933
Through a Facebook and a group of researchers, as those here, my great uncle was found!
First of all, I want to thank the gentleman here who provided me with my first and only photo of Jack which was a priceless gift.
A week ago a member of another group find newspaper clippings indicating Jack was found in the hold of a ship after it had been fumigated, apparently as a stowaway. That's so very sad because he worked as a dental mechanic on so many vessels and we'll never know why he had to stowaway. So, let me see if I can post these articles as I've not been successful in the past due to size.
Once again, I am not successful in post the 4 photos I have so perhaps someone can help? Thank you.
