I was wondering if any one ever heard of Immigrant Ships being 'hijacked' or 'pirated'. I have a family legend about a ship from Germany around 1884 that was boarded and all of the men except for some of the crew were tossed over board allowing the women to resume their voyage. I am specifically looking for a family by the name of Schroeder. If any one knows where I can obtain such information I would be delighted.
