Shared note

The next to leave Norway’s shores were eldest daughter Karen and her husband Jacob (not Ole) Isaksen (both aged 30) and young sons Ole (7) and Carl (5). Karen was pregnant with Annie Mary at the time. They boarded the sailing ship Høvding on 13 August 1873 under the command of Captain Nordbye. It sailed from Kristiania via Hamburg undertaking the long 109 day voyage to New Zealand, where they landed in Napier on 1 December 1873. It was a difficult crossing with provisions being of poor and inadequate standard contrary to "Contract Conditions". Passengers numbered 209 with 11 children dying and 6 being born on the crossing. After the voyage all passengers signed a petition that was given to the Shipping Line and sent to Norway, consequently leading to Captain Nordbye’s “relievement of his duty.” Mary was born safe and well on 24 December 1873 in Napier. |
