The information listed above is not the complete record of the ship. The information was collected from a multitude of sources, and new information will be added as it emerges

In 1866 the bark Eucharis departed from Christiania May 6, and arrived Quebec June 13. She was sailing in ballast, and was carrying 363 steerage passengers. [someone added the same numbers and came up with 372! no calculator...] One man died of acute rheumatism during the crossing. When the ship arrived to the quarantine station at Grosse Îsle, 4 children were sick from diarrhoea. The ship was filthy and was detained in the quarantine station till cleaned. The Eucharis was mastered by Capt. Andersen, but the front of the passenger list is signed by Capt. Nannestad. She had a crew of 16. The passenger list was archived by the National Archives of Canada [NAC].
