Bark Kongeørnen, H. G. Kirsebom

in 1861 the ship Kongeørnen departed from Christiania on May 5th, and arrived at the quarantine station at Grosse Île on July 5th and proceeded to Quebec the same day. The Kongeørnen sailed in ballast, and was carrying 7 cabin, and 290 steerage passengers. There had been 8 deaths on the voyage. She was mastered by Captain L. Hielm and had a crew of 16. 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.
