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

The ship Louisiana departed Bergen on Apr. 22nd, and arrived at Quebec on June 15th , 1862. She was mastered by Capt. Poulsen. According to a Norwegian newspaper she was carrying 330 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. Timeline to records.
