In 1869 the Concordia departed from Christiania Apr. 18, and arrived at Quebec May 19. She was sailing in ballast, and was carrying 253 steerage passengers and 7 cabin passengers. Two passengers were ill with fever and cold, and an infant died of convulsions. The ship was detained under quarantine of observation. The Concordia was mastered by Capt. Christiansen with a crew of 14. In 1870 the bark Concordia departed from Christiania Apr. 18, and arrived at Quebec June 10. She was sailing in ballast, and was carrying 286 steerage passengers. All was well at arrival to Quebec. There were two births on the voyage, on June 9th, Regine Maria, daughter of Ole Haga (32½) and Christine Andreasen (28) and on April 21st, Chr. Cornelius, son of Hans Christensen (33) and Pauline (30). Also this year she was mastered by Capt. Chr. Christiansen, with a crew of 15. Her tonnage was 522 tons. In 1871 she departed from Christiania Apr. 17, and arrived at Quebec May 23. She was sailing in ballast, and was carrying 2 cabin and 202 steerage passengers, all well. There was one birth on the voyage. 25 of the men were single men, and of the woman were 25 single women. Master was Capt. Chr. Christiansen, with a crew of 15. Tonnage: 522 tons. In 1873 the Concordia departed Christiania on Apr. 23rd. She was mastered by capt. Christiansen. None of the passengers had paid for their ticket. They were supposed to pay the fare by labor when they arrived to Canada. This was very unusual, and it was against the Norwegian passenger act of 1869. The representative of an ironworks in Moisie, Mr. Molson made arrangements for 50 families, or 215 persons, to pay their fare by labor in Canada. He had been helped to arrange the voyage by agent Sharpe in Christiania, who was later sentenced to pay a 50 Speciedaler fine for his involvement by a Norwegian court. "Moisie" where the emigrnats were going is near "Seven Islands". This is in Eastern Quebec, and the place is called Sept Île [French for seven islands] close to Moisie. There were 3 deaths [babies] and one birth on the voyage. There is a note at the bottom of the passenger list which says "Captain Christiansen has debarked two hundred and seventeen Norwegian passengers from Christiania, also the Doctoress for the passage, he has left here at Moisie Ironworks all in apparent good health ... signed .... Thos. Darling J.P. Manager, Moisie Ironworks" The doctor was a woman and she had her two daughters with her. Olave Frits 42, Charlotte 13 and Amalie 9. It looks like they landed right at Sept Île, not going through Quebec. When the immigrants arrived to Moise, they had to rent their houses from the company they were supposed to work for. The ironworks company owned everything, including the land miles around. The rent for the houses and the costs of living in the companies "town" was so high that the immigrants would have had to work for many years to be able to pay for the voyage, as all of their earnings went to pay for the accommodation. After a while they had all disappeared, but some of them were caught and put in prison. The Norwegian government was engaged in solving the case for the imprisoned Norwegians, and there was a lot of attention to the case in Norway.
