Danish emigrants who did not depart "direckte" on a transatlantic ship from Copenhagen to U.S. departed "indirekte", which I understand means other European ports. I know many probably took a train to Hamburg or Bremen, but were there feeder ships that left from Copenhagen to Hull, England, just like feeder ships that departed from Oslo or Goteborg to Hull, England? Or did the ships from Oslo, Stavanger, or Goteborg stop first in Copenhagen and pick up Danish emigrants on the way to Hull?
Are there any records that identify names and dates of feeder ships that departed from Copenhagen?
Thanks.

Hopkins,
I appreciate receiving your reply. However, I have examined the Danish Emigration web site thoroughly and I cannot find any info there that answers my questions specifically about feeder ships, routes, etc. If that info is there, please let me know.
Thanks.

Hello Jon
Yes, there were (is) also feeder routes from Denmark to England (Esbjerg - Harwich), but not as far as I know by the Wilson Line. There might have been a route to Hull.I will see if I can provide some more information about that later.
Concerning your previous question about Cuba, I would suggest one of the large German lines, which had extensive routes to South American ports. Train from Denmark to Hamburg or Bremen... |

Hi. Wanda & Borge,
Thanks for your replies. I am researching Frederik Petersen, Danish emigrant (registration date 18 Sept 1879) who departed "indirekte". I do not know if he took a train to Hamburg or Bremen, or if he took a feeder ship to England, so was trying to learn about feeder ships from Denmark. If he took a feeder ship from a Denmark port, are there any passenger records of that? I have the impression that "indirekte" probably meant the emigrant probably took a train to Germany. I have searched Ancestry.com passenger records and Canada's passenger records and cannot find his immigrant record. I have tried many spelling variations and wildcards, and the closest I have come is a F. Pedersen who arrived on the Saratoga in 1880 from Cuba, along with several other Danes. That is why I have been posting about European routes to Cuba.
Thanks.
