Andy, with Daniel's permission, here is a very interesting part of the 
puzzle

Dear Michael,

thanks for your riddle of the day, which entertained me quite a bit.

The hottest lead that I have is that there is an entry for
"NEPPERSCHMIDT, Henry"
in the
"Index to the Captains register of Lloyds of London - N"
at
https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsearch.lma.gov.uk%2Fcaptains-registers-pdfs%2Fcaptains-registers-n.pdf&data=05%7C01%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7Cfd94325b45ff4bc8655c08db5d792034%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638206548492336258%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ZzzA%2FxuamkUW6AjeBpikIRO6Fpt%2FhE8LfcgMnZBYFeU%3D&reserved=0 
:
"
b. Rostock, Germany 1861 019048 Shields 1887
vol.38 1887 Extra Folio 1; vol.53 1888; vol.68 no voyages
listed
"

Not sure whether that is anywhere near your target, but with a bit
more information about your label and the circumstances, I am
confident we can work something out.

To this end, I have set up an entry
https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatabase.factgrid.de%2Fwiki%2FItem%3AQ523159&data=05%7C01%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7Cfd94325b45ff4bc8655c08db5d792034%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638206548492336258%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=7tshyWGf9p%2B8UTJqNsj6triRLSBOb%2F8W1Rz1lj%2BKB98%3D&reserved=0
for your original "H. Nepperschmidt"
in FactGrid, a collaborative database for figuring out historic information.

I also set up
https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatabase.factgrid.de%2Fwiki%2FItem%3AQ523160&data=05%7C01%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7Cfd94325b45ff4bc8655c08db5d792034%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638206548492336258%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=FL%2FNvyjNTrw8eb19Z8u607RpIPPt9yz0ftJbvSqFwxQ%3D&reserved=0
for the ship captain from Rostock mentioned above, and the idea is to
collect as much information as possible about both (as well as other
candidates) that we reach a point at which it seems very likely that
one of the options is actually the person we are trying to find.

While looking for your email address in the original email, I noticed
that you kinda have already called it a day, and I would appreciate it
if you could share some of that information that you've got.

Best,

Daniel
