[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.

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.

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.
