I would appreciate it if anyone knows if there is a picture of this ship. It sailed in 1870 from Trondheim to Quebec, Canada. I have found information about the ship but no picture yet. Thanks.

Probably not "your" Bark Franklin...
This Bark Franklin was built i Trondheim in 1850, and burned down in Trondheim in 1863.

Thank you for sending this picture. It would not be the same one but likely built much the same. I appreciate your quick reply.

Here's a black silhouette of a bark (barque) built in 1870.

A better picture of the Bark Franklin (1850-1863):



Even though it's not "your" ship, it would have looked similar. A barque, barc, or bark is a type of sailing vessel with three or more masts

According to an add in a local newspaper, the Bark Franklin under command of Captain Vinsnes, left Trondheim in beginning of May 1870 with 325 emigrants (222 adults and 103 children).
The ship arrived Quebec on June 20th, after a 50-day voyage from Trondheim.
