My great grandfather Jorge Emil Leth sailed on the following voyages. I am very keen to discover the history of the vessels, their skippers, owners, nationality, cargo etc. And any images of them that might be available
His seamans record sent to me from Kristiansand Archives is as follows:
Ship Name
1. Elos, Jlos or Ilos ??? Sailed Arendal to Aslersten ostesven or auslesen ?? 20th June 1870
2. George sailed Arendal to Belgian 13th July 1771
3. Louvain sailed Arendal to Lowen 22nd April 1872
4. Norden sailed Arendal to Aslersten ostesven or auslesen 7th May 1873
5. Marco Polo sailed Arendal to Revella or Sevella 2nd July 1874
6. Alloubie (unsure of the spelling) sailed Arendal to Aslersten ostesven or auslesen 8th May 1876
7. Postreperium ? Sailed Arendal to Aslersten ostesven or auslesen 19th May 1877
8. Reverendus Sailed Arendal to Belgien (I assume Belgium) 18th June 1878
9. Lorenzo Sailed Arendal to Amerika 20th May 1879
Jorge “romt” or “jumped ship” from the Lorenzo in New York on 11th august 1879 before coming to Australia 2 years later
Interesting fact is that his father Samuel Nicolai Leth died in approx. 1869 and was a ships carpenter living at 7 kittlebuskvein arendal (I think this is at Svinodden stromsbu where the lorenzo was built ?) he probably worked on the ship and could have died building it) any info about him and his cause of death would be of great interest to me
