I am searching for a picture or drawing of the Ship Christopher Columbus that departed Bergen May, 23, 1882 and arrived in Quebec July 1, 1872. My great grandparents Odd and Brita Thoe traveled on this ship with 9 children. Any help would be appreciated. Kathy

I don't know of any such picture, but maybe they know if there is one at the Maritime Museum of Bergen. You can write to them on this address:

Bergens Sjøfartsmuseum
Postboks 2736- Møhlenpris
5026 Bergen
NORWAY

Remember to include as much details as you can find about the ship, such as the year of sailing from Bergen and name of captain. And please let us know if you get any new information that we could post on the site.
