In Daniel F. Johnsons book ‘Irish Emigration to New England through the Port of St. Johns’ partly viewable on Google Books he lists emigrant vessels, a partial list in included below. Many of the St.Johns records were lost in a fire at the Customs House there in 1870.

Mr. Johnson was told by Robert Fellows, Archivist to the Provincial Archives, New Brunswick that in 1977 he had located previously lost records and these formed the basis of part of Mr. Johnson’s book.

http://books.google.ie/books?id=rVu6d-G9yQQC&pg=PA99&lpg=PA99&dq=bantry+to+st+Johns+new+brunswick&source=bl&ots=suipVPSpvj&sig=6ACE0ngF4UUz_EuFbIeSm-Wa4zk&hl=en&sa=X&ei=xH-oUtP_AaaR7AbatIGoBw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=bantry%20to%20st%20Johns%20new%20brunswick&f=false

The Port of St. John was a gateway port to North America for Ireland, Scotland, England and also Germany. The 1830s and 1840s was a period of large scale emigration from all over Northern Europe. Many of the Irish soon left for New England. In a sample period 80,000 emigrants were received of whom 10,000 went to the USA and over 4,000 died in local hospitals or almshouses. The Irish average for going to the US and mortality was probably higher than that of other Northern European locations.

In Bantry William Dealy/Daly a businessman who owned a timber yard owned a Brig which made regular voyages from Bantry/Berehaven to St. Johns. He also had family in St.Johns. There was a mini Bantry diaspora there with members of the Kingston, Bird, Clarke, Pattison, Dukelow, and Dealy/Daly families settled since the 1820s. One of the side effects of the emigrant ships was to depress the price of timber as this was carried on the return voyages.

Re Besnard of Huguenot descent had a major sail factory in Douglas Cork but involved in emigrant transport from Nick Reddin Newspaper extracts:

November 23, 1891, The Daily Sun, Saint John, New Brunswick

The death occurred yesterday afternoon at his residence 179 Prince William St., St. John, of Peter BESNARD, an aged citizen. Mr. Besnard had been in failing health for some months. He was a native of Cork, Ireland where he was born nearly 90 years ago, being in the 89th year of his age at the time of his death. About 1825 Mr. Besnard came to this country in a vessel owned by his brother, who was at one time mayor of Cork. He was interested in emigration from Ireland to Canada and was at one time connected with an agency for the promotion of such emigration. He entered the employ of the late Hon. John ROBERTSON and was at one time one of Mr. Robertson’s right hand men in the lumber business. Mr. Besnard had not been in business for a number of years. He married Miss BREMNER, a daughter of one of the first St. John postmasters. A daughter residing in this city and a son Robt. S. BESNARD, a ship broker in Boston, survive him. Mrs. Besnard died about a year ago.
