Does anyone know if SS Norge usually began its voyage in Copenhagen. I see on this page that in 1900 it was in Kristiania then Kristiansand and then New York.
The reason why I am asking is that I am writing a biografphy on the Danish CEO of General Motors and he was on board the Norge in 1900. The danish imigration has a record of him listing a ticket 23/2 - but Norge leaves Kristiania on the 20/2 - so there is somethin rotten in the state of Denmark (or Norway)
Could it be that Norge came to Copenhagen last? That would not be very logical from a geographical point of view...
According to this site SS Norge arrives in New York on the 12/3. Isen't that a long time to spend on the sea??
Could it be that the Norge has left Copenhagen on the 25/2 arriving in Kristiania two days later on the 27th leaves Kristiansand on the 28th 0r 29th and still have plenty of time to reach New York??
Sincerely yours
