The Nordamerika was built in 1848 for the Hamburg America Line. She was a three masted bark rigged vessel of 419 gross tons. Wooden construction, cargo 200 tons and passenger accommodation for 20 first class and 200 steerage passengers. She had a crew of 17. Laid down in 1848 as the "Amerika" but renamed to avoid confusion with another German ship of that name, she was used on the Hamburg - New York service until 1858 when she was sold to Norwegian owners. In 1860 she departed from Christiania with emigrants in April, and arrived at Quebec May 19th. She was owned by J. Dybvad & Søn in Christiania, and mastered by Captain G. A. Schjerve. 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. The Nordamerika was broken up in 1868. |
