This is a list of the ships that some of my ancestors traveled to the United States on. These are all Norwegian ancestors except Abigail Tuttle and Joseph Weinhart. The picture is of the Hero. The Hero was one of several ships that transported immigrants from Norway to Hull, England where they would transfer to a larger ship for the trip across the Atlantic.
- Sjur Markusson - Jorgen Brunckhorst - 1854
- Erick Gunhus - Embla - 1849
- Abigail Tuttle - Planter - 1635
- Lars Haselhaugen - Celtic - 1877
- Fredrick Ellingson - Alsatia - 1876
- Nub Fredrickson - Celtic - 1879
- Asle Lien - Nevada - 1884
- Guri Lien - Germanic - 1876 (was returning from a visit to Norway where she had to conduct business relating to her marriage to Asle)
- Jospeh Weinhart - 1847 - Splendid (this may not be correct since there is a large discrepency in age)
