I am trying to find copies of the BETA and MUSCA Passenger and Crew Listing of both ships/barkentines which sailed from Drammen, Norway, on 27 Oct and 23 Nov of 1880 bound for Hawaii.

It is believed that my Norwegian Greatgrandparents were part of the 600 immigrants who answered the advertisements for workers on the Claus Spreckels Sugar Plantations on Maui, Hawaii.

Anyone with information on how I may gain access or copies to those listings, please contact me as soon as possible.

Thank you and Mahalo,
Danny Kalama
