Lars Fredriksen - dep. from Trondheim 1887 |
RF | Lars Fredriksen born 1820, from Hustad, emigrated from Trondheim to Canby, Minnesota on March 19, 1887. Can anyone help me find the name of the ship he was on ?

Jo Anne Sadler | According to the list of departures on this site, there were no direct sailings to North America from Trondheim in 1887. He would have taken a feeder ship to Hull, England and then by rail to Liverpool or Glascow.
In the Digitalarkivet records, he contracted with the Beaver Line, here is information on the line:

He may have gone to New York or Boston but most likely he went to Canada. I could not find him in New York records and the Boston records are not available online for 1887. The Canadian passenger records can be rented at a local Family History Center. |
Borge | According to the Digitalarkivet records of emigration from Trondheim, Lars had purchased a ticket with the [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_shiplist.asp?co=beave"]Beaver Line[/url], and traveled via Christiania. (probably went from Trondheim to Christiania by train). That points to a departure with the [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_ship.asp?sh=rollo"]S/S Rollo (1)[/url] from Christiania 1887-03-18, then about 2-3 days to to Hull, one day from Hull to Liverpool by train. Then I suggest the [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_ship.asp?sh=labeq"]S/S Lake Superior[/url] from Liverpool with arrival to New York 1887-03-30 as a very likely ship. You could start by checking that list. |
