Searching for information on a Rudolph Klang born 1835 in Prussia. Rudolph was a ships-master and sailed from Ardrossan, Scotland to Boston, USA around 1898 approx. This is the last piece of information that I have found. Rudolph married Catherine Cosgrove in 1872 and they had 4 children, Amelia, Clara, Robert and John Charles. Any further information would be greatly appreciated.

Where did Catherine and the children live? Do you believe Rudolph stayed in the US?

If this is him, I interpret it to say he was heading to St. John's Newfoundland, Canada. If that is correct, I don't know why he refers to that as being in the United States
