In this database you will be able to find ships, not only those which departed directly from Norway, but also other transatlantic ships which carried emigrants. You may search for a ship by entering the first letter of the name. Entering the first letter will return a list of all ships with names staring on that letter. Entering more letters, or the full name, will narrow your search. If you type the name of a ship, the search will take you directly to the page containing information about that ship, if there is only one ship by that name in the database. If you do not narrow your search, or there are several ships by the same name, the search will take you to a list of those names. The list contains different columns:
| Type |

Shipowner or operator |
Built | Norwegian departures |
