My Koch ancestors sailed on the bark Maryland from Bremerhaven in 1863 to New York. I did not find any 1863 listing of the embarkation of the Maryland in the records on this site. I did find information regarding her later sailings. Was the Maryland a Norweigan ship in 1863? I would welcome any history on this vessel. Thank you.

| I found three Ny arrivals for this ship 15 Aug 1851(from Rio de Janerio), 1 pass. 4 August 1865 (from Cadiz) ~12 pass. And 22June1867 from Bremen, 256 pass. In the 1865 manifest she is described as "Bremen bark Maryland" In 1851 her master was Klein, in '65 and '67 master was Steffens. In '65 her tonnage was listed as 556, in '67 it was given as 480 tons. I find no record of a US flag ship from this period except a little 195 ton bark sailing Boston-Baltimore |

| My gg-grandmother Sophia Kimmel, came to the United States on the bark ship Maryland with her two sons, Christian(17) and Wilhelm(10) from Wiesbaden, Germany. The ship landed in Baltimore on June 22 or 23, 1863. I have a copy of the ships manifest showing the persons aboard. The two sons made it to St. Louis to join their father, Friedrich Kimmel - a baker, but I have been unable to find any trace of the mother after landing. I am seeking any information on this family and will be glad to share the info I have on the ship Maryland. I think it was registered in Bremen or Bremerhaven. |

This site is for Norwegian emigrants and sailings, your ancestors are German so their voyage would not be reflected here. Do not think they came through the Port of New York. Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston were all major ports.
You did not give their names but a quick Google search yielded the following passenger list on the Immigrant Transcriber Guild website:
Ship Maryland from Bremerhaven arriving Port of Baltimore on June 22, 1863:
August Koch, 8
Catharine Koch, 37
Philippine Koch, 17, female
William Koch, 3
All from Hessia, destination Pennsylvania. Other information is to be found on a Google search.
Good luck |

My ancestors came to America in 1854 on the Bark Maryland. I would like to find a picture of this ship as well as additional information about it. I appreciate any suggestions.
