Lars Fredriksen born 1820, from Hustad, emigrated from Trondheim to Canby, Minnesota on March 19, 1887. Can anyone help me find the name of the ship he was on ?

According to the list of departures on this site, there were no direct sailings to North America from Trondheim in 1887. He would have taken a feeder ship to Hull, England and then by rail to Liverpool or Glascow.
In the Digitalarkivet records, he contracted with the Beaver Line, here is information on the line:

He may have gone to New York or Boston but most likely he went to Canada. I could not find him in New York records and the Boston records are not available online for 1887. The Canadian passenger records can be rented at a local Family History Center. |

| According to the Digitalarkivet records of emigration from Trondheim, Lars had purchased a ticket with the Beaver Line, and traveled via Christiania. (probably went from Trondheim to Christiania by train). That points to a departure with the S/S Rollo (1) from Christiania 1887-03-18, then about 2-3 days to to Hull, one day from Hull to Liverpool by train. Then I suggest the S/S Lake Superior from Liverpool with arrival to New York 1887-03-30 as a very likely ship. You could start by checking that list. |
