This announcement states that the Salvator crossed to New York from Porsgrund using 46 days, and that it would make the same crossing the year ahead. "The ship is said to be solid and good, and all of the passengers on the 1843 crossing had been very satisfied with the conditions aboard. The cargo on the next crossing will be iron. Special cabin arrangements will be made upon request for families".
