One of the passengers, Knut Aanonsen who went with his parents and possibly other family members, wrote about his voyage from Bad Axe, Vernon County, Wisconsin, November 14, 1853. His dates for departure and arrival are different from those on this site: Departure from Tvedestrand May 8 Arrival in Quebec July 5 He does not give the name of the ship, but no other ships are listed as departing from Tvedestrand that year. Both this voyage of almost two months and the one according to the list of about one month are within the range of voyages at this time. The letter may have written "Iuli" for "Iuni". I do not know how reliable the dates on the list may be. Orm Overland
