this was written by Mary Goldban.

I was born near Christianian (KRISTIANSAND) Norway July 8, 1841. My father Olof Goldban in company with Capt Dirkwood were large owners Ships that sailed all over the world-Fathers health was failing, so Dr said take a sea voyage. In my fathers ship were 7 weeks giting to New York. He said go to country and you will get strong. We traveled to Milwaukee Wis and to Port Washington where my dear Father died. Graduated from the Shiboygan High School in Chicago.

This is as she wrote it.

Does anyone know either of these captains?
