Here is Ole arriving in New York in 1903. Interesting his destination is the Sailors Boarding House, 105 South Street. I assume it is the one in Manhatten right near the East River.
The address of the boarding house seems to be the same as the Beckman St. address of the Ole Olsen in the 1900 US Census. Date of that Census is June 2, 1900.

Are you interested in Tobias. This is likely him arriving in America. There are also two records for 1930 and 1940 US Census that are also probably him, both of them of him living in Minnesota. The 1940 Census shows him at 29 and single.
