John - I had a look Only 6, 428 Norwegians arrived New York in 1873. No SS Rotterdam found. My search engine can't cope with 6,428. If you have a name or port of departure it would help. Jim

Sorry, you are right.

Departure from Rotterdam Netherlands, arrival New York. The book of Swierenga is talking about a ship called "Marcelino" but this is a mistake.

It´s the first ship wich traveled from Rotterdam to New York by a company called "Holland America Line" after the ship returned.

I have found the voyage. SS ROTTERDAM arrived New York from Rotterdam on 17January, 21 March (your inquiry), 20 May, 16 July, 15 September, 21 November in 1873. A total of 1,295 persons landed. All from Germany or Holland. Not sure I can get you a list. Data bank will not sort by month w/o some other data. Do you have a name? Jim

If you want a copy just let me know.

I´m searching for the names of Henricus Peskens and Petronella Kraan.
Also the family Peter Joannes Aerts en Peter Jacobus Martinus Aerts en Henricus Aerts together with Anna Catharina Aerts.

John - I get my information from Ancestory.com. They have a data base for immigrant ships arriving New York 1851-1891. Unfortunately, one must be a subscriber to use this data base.
You could visit their site and decide if it is worth it for you. Jim
