What is the Distance between the Port Bremen, Germany and New York City, New York?

Question

My Great Grandfather came to America in 1884 from Hanover, Germany. He sailed from The Port of Bremen, Germany and arrived In New York City. What I want to know is How far it is and the time it would have taken him in 1884. To reach America. Thanks

Answer 1

The distance between New York City to Frankfurt, Germany is almost 3857 miles as it is not an easy task to find Bremen on any of the Great Circle Calculators of line. While the distance between New York City and Hamburg is 3805 miles. Their journey time according to that condition when paddle wheels weren’t uncommon; auxiliary sail rigs weren’t unknown, is almost two weeks.
