The brig Atalanta was owned by the Rød brothers. She was bought from German owners, who owned her under the same name. She was built in 1852, at Heggblad Hammarstein in Norrkøping, Sweden. Her burden was 120-140 Norwegian Commercial lasts.

In 1864 she departed from Christiania Apr. 30th, and arrived at Quebec June 20. Master was Capt. Rød. Because the National Archives of Canada [NAC] did not start the archiving of passenger lists before 1865, and the Norwegian emigration records did not start before 1867, there is no surviving passenger list for this voyage in any of those archives. Timeline to records. In 1865 she departed from Christiania on May 5th, and arrived at Quebec on June 25th. She was mastered by Capt. Rød and was carrying 163 passengers.

In 1867 she departed from Christiania on Apr. 20th and arrived at Quebec on May 29th. She was mastered by Capt. Ludvig Rød. The passenger list for this voyage is kept by the National Archives of Canada [NAC]. In 1868 the Atalanta departed from Christiania Apr. 4th, and arrived at Galveston May 28th. This year she was mastered by Capt. E. Moe. The passengers were listed in the Christiania police emigration records, kept by the Statsarkivet in Norway. The records are online.
