Montebello

Another astonishing picture showing an emigrant ship departing Kriatiania, this time the S/S Montebello of the Wilson Line. The Montebello served on the Christiania - Christiansand - Hull service from 1890 till 1909. Her first departure from Christiania (Oslo) was on July 4th, 1890, and after about 463 voyages she departed Christiania for her last voyage on the service on May 22nd, 1909. Through the years she carried more than 34,000 passengers from Christiania to Hull (Christiansand passengers not counted). The Montebello was very steady on the service, and did not have many interruptions from her every second week departures from Christiania.
