The S. S. Wisconsin left Liverpool on the 27th ultimo, with quite a company of
emigration, including from Scandinavia, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Holland,
and England, some 714 souls, with the returning elders as follows: Bishop J.
Rowberry, who had charge of the whole, Brother E. F. Branting in charge of the
Scandinavians, Brother Martin Lenzi in charge of the Swiss and German, Brother
P. J. Lammers in charge of those from Holland, and Brother Rulon S. Wells as
recorder; also Brothers L. Wirthlin, S. Nilsen, J. A. Andersen, C. Jensen, H.
P. Iversen, H. Thunneson, C. Larsen and Jens Keller, who would aid after
organization in securing the comfort and welfare of the traveling Saints. It
was remarked by officers of the Guion Co. that they had never seen a company
start with such precision before, there was no hitch anywhere; the inspection
was passed successfully, and noted by the examining physician as including a
remarkably healthy and extra proportion of children. The company have the
hearty prayers of the Saints in Europe for their safe arrival in Zion; and for
the returning elders, blessing for their labors in the gospel, and best wishes
for pleasant renewal of the associations of family and friends." "Wed. 27. [June 1877] -- The steamship Wisconsin sailed
from Liverpool, England, with 714 Saints, in charge of John Rowberry. The
company arrived at New York July 7th, and at Salt Lake City July 14th." ". . . The first company of the season's emigration from Scandinavia
sailed from Copenhagen, June 21, 1877, in two steamships, namely, the 'Argo'
and the 'Pacific.' There were 471 souls of emigrants and eight returning
missionaries, namely, Erik F. Branting, John A. Anderson, Sven Nilsson,
Christen Jensen, Hans Peter Iversen, Eric M. Larsen, Hans Thunnesen and Jens
Keller. For several days prior to the departure the emigrating Saints had
gathered in Copenhagen from the different conferences, and the elders who had
the emigration affairs in hand were very busy at the mission office, making
their arrangements. The emigrating Saints seemed very satisfied and happy in
saying goodbye to the lands of their nativity, to gather with the people of
God in the valleys of the mountains. The embarkation of the Saints took place
without accident or the least disturbance. The greater part of the emigrants
went on board the 'Argo,' while a small company, mostly emigrants from the
Christiania and Goteborg Conferences, took passage on the 'Pacific.' About
6:30 p.m. the 'Argo' steamed out of the harbor and was soon afterwards
followed by the 'Pacific.' After a successful voyage across the North Sea,
both ships arrived safely in Hull, England, on Sunday, June 24th, the 'Argo'
at 9 o'clock a.m. and the 'Pacific' at 8 o'clock p.m. The emigrants landed the
following day (June 25th) and proceeded at once by railroad to Liverpool,
where they boarded the steamship 'Wisconsin,' together with a number of
British, German, Swiss, and Dutch Saints. Bishop John Rowberry was appointed
captain of the whole company, while Elder Erik F. Branting was continued as
captain of the Scandinavian emigrants. The 'Wyoming' [Wisconsin] sailed from
Liverpool, June 27th, and arrived in New York, July 7th. From New York the
journey was continued by rail westward the same day and the emigrants arrived
safe and well in Ogden and Salt Lake City, July 14th. Three Scandinavian
couples were married en route and a hour after the arrival in Salt Lake City,
the wife of Martin Christensen, from the Aalborg Conference, gave birth to a
daughter. . . ." ." Ship: Wisconsin Date of Departure: 27 Jun
