Does anyone have any information on this ship? It seems to have taken only one voyage from Bergen to Quebec. Some of my ancestors were on it with 9 people but 1 is listed as died at Grosse Ile in Quebec and I can find 4 of them (including my g-g-grandmother) who got to Wisconsin. The other 4 seem to have disappeared so I'm thinking they must have died on the ship. It was in 1854 and the trip was from April 28 to June 21.
