I cant say what ship Steffen Larse Rokne sailed on from Norway, but he first sailed to England on a feeder ship, probably one of the Wilson Line steamers for Hull. From Hull by train to Liverpool or Southampton where he boarded a ship belonging to the White Star Line. He had a prepaid ticket.

Gudvi and the children followed in his track via England, but crossed the Atlantic on a Cunard Line ship.
