Hello everyone

Looking through the ISTG lists I came across Bark Musca, which left Drammen in May of 1881 for Honolulu. Aboard
were 600 hundred Norwegians who had been promised
work on the sugar plantations. Hard to imagine Norwegians
in Hawaii. If you scroll down to the end of the list, you will
find a humorus explanation of why the "emigration experiment"
didn't work.
