Departure Date: 7 Okt 1887
Departure Place:Göteborg, Göteborg och Bohus, Sverige
Ship Name: Romeo
Birth Date: 1861
Birth Place: Stockholm
Age: 26
Destination: Hull, England

During the peak of the emigration, ships like these left from Göteborg every week, usually on Friday afternoon. Once underway, the trip to Hull took about 40 to 50 hours. The ships usually approached the eastern coast of England during the day or early evening of the following Sunday. The primary port city was Kingston-upon-Hull, commonly referred to as Hull.

The trains left for Liverpool on Monday morning around 11:00 AM, arriving in Liverpool between 2:00 and 3:00 PM. The route took them through Leeds and Manchester, giving them a glimpse of those two thriving cities. The trains were filled solely with immigrants. The ticket purchased back in Sweden included the trip to Hull, the train to Liverpool, and then the steamship to America.

Interestingly, Carl and Anna traveled on the same ship, the Romeo from Göteborg to Hull within a month of each other.
