Have point of departure and arrival date, can't find person

Classification: Query
Can someone help? The arrival date listed on Walter Von Schelden's petition for naturalization is 15 September 1913 and the point of departure is Antwerp, Belgium. Why am I not finding him in any ship's record? When I enter Antwerp into the Departure box, the only result is a ship coming into Victoria, Australia.

Would a ship departing from Antwerp have stopped at other ports along the way before finally reaching NY? Assuming that's where he landed.

Thanks for helping to solve this puzzle!
