Hi, I have been trying to locate a list of the crew on boards the Hovding's 1873 voyage to New Zealand and also the names of any deserters.
Is there a site for this? I have been unable to locate any from New Zealand sources.
Any help would be very very much appreciated.

Hello Kare
Thanks for that, I have been on the Norsewood site and this only shows the passengers. It's the crew i am after. My great grandfather was a mariner from Sweden and legend has it that he jumped ship here in NZ, eventually marrying Frederikka Olava Olsen from Norway.
I recently read a book entitled "Scandinavian Footprints" by Margit Brew in which she says that three of the crew jumped ship when it arrived in Napier on the 1st December 1873. I was hoping to find if one of the deserters was my great grandfather Fraz Wilhelm Anderson (known in NZ as William Francis Anderson)

I am surprised at the number of Norwegians emigrating to New Zealand. I thought most Norwegians were looking for a new life in America. Anyone have a date when the first emigration started.

The first Norwegian emigrant ship left Stavanger on July 5th, 1825, with 52 emigrants. The ship was called ”Restaurationen”, and arrived New York on October 9th.
But it had actually started a few years earlier. In 1821, the quaker Cleng Persson from Tysvær, Rogaland went to America to look for places where settlers could build a new home. He went back to Norway after a few years with good news about what he had found, and the news was well received in the local quaker community in Tysvær. 52 men, women and children decided to follow Cleng Persson back to America aboard the ship "Restaurationen" in 1825.

The first organized group of emigrants came to New Zealand on board the first voyage of the Hovding which arrived in May 1872. They settled in a place they named Norsewood, the Danish pioneers arrived about the same time and settled in Dannevirke. Both of these places are located in the lower North Island and retain a strong Scandinavian heritage. Swedish pioneers who had arrived a few years earlier settled in the Manawatu - around Palmerston North.

There are Scandinavian - Norwegian, Swedish and Danish emigrants who arrived in the very early 1870's on organised schemes before the Napier arrivals on the Hovding and Fritzreuter. See passenger lists for Celeano (pronounced See-lee-no) and England which arrived into Wellington.

Sheena, this is very interesting. Are you able to provide som more information here on the forum concerning the pre Høvding arrivals and early Norwegian immigrants to New Zealand? |

"One Sunday in September 1870, an agent arrived at Odalen, about 50 miles northeast of Christiania. He timed his appearance to coincide with the end of the church service, where he would have a captive audience. He told curious listeners that the voyage to New Zealand was free and that each family would be given ten acres (...)"

With reference to the topic "Boese - Charles Frederick Emigrated to New Zealand", Boesen was a name almost only used in the Odal area...
Martin Boesen aged 20, who's father was railway conductor Christopher Boesen from Odalen, is on the passenger list from The Celaeno. (Ref Sheena Boese, Posted - 14/10/2008 and this)

I do not know of any crew list for the ship. I think the only way to reconstruct the crew list is to research the maritime inscription lists covering the ship's hometown and surrounding areas. See Maritime inscription - registers of seamen |

Hello Borge, thanks for that information. Does this include non Norewegian crew - I suspect my Great Grandfather Frans Wilhelm Anderson, from Gottenburg, Sweden may have been on the Hovding and possibly jumped ship in NZ when it arrived . This is why I am interested in the crew of this ship.
