The Garibaldi was 36.4 meter of length on deck, 9,7 meter breadth moulded, 9,7 meter depth in hold and 5,96 meter draught of water. In 1861 the Garbaldi (Garibaldi) departed from Christiania May 3 and arrived at Quebec June 20. She was carrying 422 steerage passengers. Master was Capt. Seeberg. Because the National Archives of Canada [NAC] did not start the archiving of passenger lists before 1865, and the Norwegian emigration records did not start before 1867, there is no surviving passenger list for this voyage in any of those archives. However, we have been able to find the names of 66 male persons who were on the ship from a recommendation in the newspaper Morgenbladet. In 1862 the Garbaldi departed from Christiania Apr. 26th and arrived at Quebec June 20th. No surviving passenger list, see above. Timeline to records.
