This ship was probably the full rigged ship "Drøbak" owned by H. Parr Samuelsen of Drøbak (1857-1861). She was mastered by captain Chr. J. Johnsen, and had a burden of 259½
Norwegian Commercial lasts. The drøbak was engaged in the emigrant trade for a number of years.
The first voyage she did with emigrants from Norway was in 1857. She departed
Christiania on Apr. 22, and arrived at Quebec on June 14. She was mastered by
Capt Johnsen, and is said to have carried about 300 passengers. Because the
National Archives of Canada [NAC] did not start the archiving of passenger
lists before 1865, and the Norwegian emigration records did not start before
1867, there is no surviving passenger list for this voyage in any of those archives. Timeline to records. In 1858 she left Christiania on Apr. 24th and arrived at Quebec on June 8th.
This year she was also mastered by Capt. Johnsen and carried about 300
passengers. There is no surviving passenger list for this voyage. In 1859 she departed from Christiania Apr. 18th, and arrived at Quebec May 29th, master was Capt. Johnsen. (no surviving passenger list) In 1860 she departed from Christiania April 3, and arrived at Quebec June 15. (no surviving passenger list) In 1861 she departed from Christiania on April 22, and arrived at
the quarantine station at Grosse Île on July 3. She was sailing in in ballast, and was
carrying 10 cabin and 345 steerage passengers. She was detained 3 days in quarantine and was released July 6th. She At arrival, 2 passengers were sick, and there had been 12 deaths during the crossing. She was now rigged as a bark. She was mastered by Captain Johnsen and had a crew of 15. From Richard Haukom we have received some information that was sent to him from
the Maritime Museum in Oslo. Richard had several of his ancestors and their
relatives crossing on this ship in 1861. The 1861 voyage was the last voyage
the Drøbak did with emigrants from Norway. Richard's family lore claims the the
voyage was 13 weeks long. A sister of his great grandfather, Birgit Olavsdtr
(Heimdal) died at sea, allegedly of typhoid. There is no surviving passenger
list for this voyage in the Canadian or Norwegian archives, see above. |
