Hi Q. Thanks for looking it up - that second thread you linked does have one answer for me. But I was correct that the ship in question was the Newfoundland. It was in 1898 that the crew of the Greenland got stranded on the ice. In fact, the Newfoundland's Master Watch, George Tuff, who was in charge of the crew, was a survivor of the Greenland disaster.
