Norwegian travelling to Seattle via Uruguay 1878

Hello Have had some help on Arkivverket finding the norwegian connection of Edward Olaf Freeman 1859-1915. His application for passport in Panama shows that he came to Seattle on the 14th of February 1878 on the bark Jennie Cobb from Montevideo, Uruguay. His norwegian name is thought to be Einar Olaf Olsen, born on the 3rd August 1859. Same date as indicated on passport application. He is not listed in the emigrantprotocol.. He was released from a 8 month prison sentence on 30th August 1877 in Trondheim. What was the marine traffic between Norway and Uruguay in 1877, and is it possible to find his name on any seamanlist? Here are the link to the search in Arkivverket: https://forum.arkivverket.no/topic/241707-søker-norsk-slekt-til-edward-olaf-freeman-seattle-1860-1915/
