You first have to determine which port they were leaving from - considering location of Surnadal....
they sailed on or about 23 May 1883 and sailed from the port of Kristiansund in Møre og Romsdal.

Headed for Michigan may have sailed to Quebec....

They were sailing on the Stjerne line which is the White Star line. From the Departure lists for 1883 on this site Click Here the SS Tasso departed for Hull on May 24.
Click Here for a list of Corresponding ships. They would have taken one of the White Star line ships. You would have to rent the microfilms to determine which one
