The ship Flora departed from Christiania on June 15th, 1849. She was carrying 180 passengers, most of them farmers from Biri, Gausdal and Ringsaker. She had an additional cargo of pit coal and iron from Gothenburg. The value of the cargo was 4000 Dollars. The passengers paid 22 Speciedaler a head, bread from day 10 included from when they boarded. When the ship had passed Færder in the Oslofjord with about 12 miles, the main mast broke. The Flora then had to return to her home port of Tønsberg to be repaired. She arrived at Tønsberg on June 19th. By July 4th she was still docked at Tønsberg, and the passengers filed an official complaint. A court decision of August 8th stated that the passengers were in title of a compensation from the ship owner and Captain, Carl Bull. He also had to pay for the process expenses of 48 Speciedaler. Carl Bull was also the captain of the ship in 1849. The passenger list for this voyage was archived by NARA, and we have transcribed the list.

In 1850 Carl Bull sailed the ship from Tønsberg, and arrived at Quebec May 16th. 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.
