[Ringeriges Ugeblad 10 March 1870]		 The "Excellencen Toll" was a steamship sailing in a route between Christiania, Gothenburg and Copenhagen, calling at several smaller ports on the way. In 1863 she was mastered by Capt. O. Mattsson. She departed from Christiania for Gothenburg and Copenhagen every Tuesday at 7 o'clock am, calling at Drøbak; Horten, Moss, Vallø and Fredriksværn both ways. It arrived to Christiania every Sunday at 8 pm. Passengers were enrolled and gods expedited every Monday from 4 - 6 pm. at T. C. Kloed. It corresponded with the steamships "Moss" and "Foldin" at Fredriksværn. The above advertisement from Correspondenten Aug. 24, 1869, says that the Excellencen Toll would convey passengers to Copenhagen, where they could proceed on the American steamer "Fulton" for New York. The other announcement to the left is for the "Amerikanske Emigrant-Kompagni" and reveals that new, huge and well equipped 1st classed iron screw steamers would depart every week from Copenhagen for New York. The first ship for the season would be the S/S Denmark to depart on April 15th. General agent was O. Svendson. The S/S Denmark was owned by the National Line

The ship "Kong Sverre", Capt. Valeur of Vallø, was cleared for Quebec with 140 emigrants. On the Excellencen Toll 60 Mormons departed yesterday for Copenhagen to proceed from there to Utah, America, to where 26 other Mormons went earlier this year. [Morgenbladet Apr. 30 1863]
Christiania May 4th "Fredrikstad Ugeblad" on April 29th reports that some Mormons, men women and children departed from there on Monday on the S/S Halden for Moss, to proceed from there to Copenhagen and from there to Salt Lake. On the pier the local police was waiting with a photograph of a Mormon preacher that is guilty of stealing, and were supposed to arrest him, but none of the traveling Mormons matched the portrait. The preacher was not together with the group. The moaning Mormons therefore had to proceed without their preacher following them. [Morgenbladet May 4, 1863]
Horten May 7th. Tuesday a group of Mormons of both sexes was traveling on the Excellensen Toll, as they had desired to go to America. On the pier here was also a young girl, who intended to go with her fellow believers, but did not succeed this time, as a relative of hers held her back, so that she could not get onboard, even though the Mormons on the ship tried to help her by pulling her off the pier. From what observers have told, the girl seamed to be strong in her belief, and was absolutely determined that she wanted to go to Zion, where she was sure she would get a good life.
