I have searched and cannot locate a picture of this vessel. Does anyone have any ideas on how a picture can be obtained?

Re: Nord Stjernen
Does anyone else have family records that mention that, during a storm, the mast broke on the Nord Stjernen's 1872 voyage to Quebec and that it was "lost at sea for 2 weeks"? The reason I'm asking is that, if true, it would have been a quick trip (4/25 to 5/28 with 2 weeks lost,) but it would make better sense using my family records saying they left Norway 4/8. However, I assume the ship's data on departure is accurate.
Passengers 172 through 179 were from Hemsedal (in Hallingdal). #176 is Gunvor, not Gunder, and is a female. The mother, #175, is Anna Mekkelsdatter. # 177 was known as Ole O. and # 173 was Ole S. With minor discrepancy in the father's age the rest of the info is accurate.
Two other sons of John and Anna left Norway earlier; Mikkel on April 6, 1871 and the oldest son, Svein/Sveinn/Swen left in 1859 or 1861. [He traveled with Torstein & Ingebørg (Olsdatter Alstveit) Halvorson & 3 of their children. Records in Hemsedal say Swen left in 1859, but "Hemsedals Slekthistorie 1693-1975" says the Halvorson family left in 1861). I have not checked ship records for Mikkel or Swen.
If anyone is interested, we have rather extensive records for this family both before and after 1872.

| I'm also looking for a photo of this ship. I'm also curious to know how much it cost, per passenger? Does anyone have that information? or know where I would be able to get it? |

You can write to:

I recently ordered two pictures from them and the cost is quite reasonable.
If you do obtain a picture, it would be nice if you would share it with this site. |

For those possibly interested. I found this:
The bark DORETTE was built by Hermann Friedrich Ulrichs, in Vegesack/Fähr, for the firm of Carl Pokrantz & Co., Bremen, and launched on 3 November 1855.
In 1870 the DORETTE was sold to a Norwegian. She received the name NORDSTJERNEN and operated for H. Chr. Gron out of London. In 1880 the bark was finally acquired from L.G.S. Larsen out of Hauan (Sandefjord).
Not until 1904 was the NORDSTJERNEN (formerly DORETTE), after 48 years running time, condemned in Lisbon and sold for scrap

Hi,
If you want me to check for "passage stories" for your family from Hemsedal in the Hallinglag of America's publication Hallingen
let me know what surname the family members adopted over here.
I see that Mikkel Johnson Rundtop of Blooming Prairie, Minn gave $5 to "Folkegaven" earmarked for Hemsedal, is this the sone you wrote of?
Anyway, let me know. Sorry to intrude on the original requestors mission.
