In 1863 the
bark Kong Sverre departed from Christiania on April 20th, and arrived at Quebec on July 3rd. She was mastered by Capt A. V. Walløe. According to the newspaper announcements she was a newly built ship in 1863. Her burden was 140 Norwegian
Commercial lasts. 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.
