Going purely by the sound, I'd say it was somewhere in the Far East. The
name sounds faintly Japanese to me, but wasn't Indonesia a big timber
place in that era? As for the Clyde, unless you have more context to
indicate otherwise, I'd assume it refers to the one in Scotland, which
used to be a major ****pping and ****p-building area and would have been
one of the biggest ****ts in the world at that time (height of the
British Empire, don'tchaknow :-) ). The coast of Ireland isn't really
on the way to the US from anywhere except the British Isles, Germany and
Scandinavia/the Baltic, none of which is likely to have a ****t called
Miriuchi.
