The ship Marianne made many voyages between 1841 and 1860. This particular historical mystery began in the late summer of 1843 when the new ship Marianne began its regular voyage from Bremen to Baltimore. It is remarkable that most of the passengers on this voyage had been close neighbors on farms in and around the small town of Melle, Kingdom of Hannover, Prussia. This area is near present-day Osnabrück, Lower Saxony, Germany. We started out with all questions and few answers, but the answers keep coming! The purpose of this webpage is to ask the questions and with your help, answer as many as possible. Special thanks to the many folks who have already helped! If you can provide information, or if you have new questions, please send an e-mail message to Larry Christensen.
1. WHY THAT YEAR: Why did the passengers of the ship Marianne decide to go to America in 1843, not sooner and not later?According to local records, there were serious crop failures and much resulting hunger in the Melle area during the early 1840's. In addition, the government of Prussia had ruled that several Protestant churches had to unite, whether the members wanted to or not. Many families anticipated a bloody revolution, and did not want to risk being in Prussia when it happened. But perhaps the basic reason most of these people left Prussia was economics. After doing their farming or other work, people had been able to supplement their incomes by making linen or other cottage industry items in the evenings. When machines took over the manufacture of these items, driving prices down, many people suffered a serious loss of income. Emigration to America or Australia gave people hope of new opportunities to improve their lives. Most important of all, they hoped to provide a better future for their children.
2. EMIGRATION LEADERSHIP: Did the large Marianne group from the Melle area of Niedersachsen that wished to emigrate have a leader or leaders? If yes, who were they, and what motivated them?
Still a mystery.
3. SURNAMES: What were the surnames of the passengers of the Marianne?
Aupke, Blase, Bracksiker {Bracksieker}, Brinker, Brinkmann, Böhning, Bullmann, Burmann, Bükker, Depecker, Hagenmeyer, Hannebaum, Hedbrink, Heitmann, Hemesath, Hempe, Kamper, Kappelmann, Klausing, Klepper, Köhring, Kuhlmann, Kramer, Kütter, Köning, Lamring, Langemans, Langenkemper, Lippold, Lücking, Luttmann, Metting, Meynert, Möller, Möllering, Mormann, Niemann, Ohe, Ortmann, Otto, Pundt, Rahe, Rothas, Reutpohler, Schneedermann, Schröder, Schulenborg, Schürbaum, Schürman, Stekamper {or Stegkämper, or Stegkaemper, or Stekemper}, Tickemeive, Uhlmann, Vaske, Weber, Wilkers, Willman, Witte and Zimmermann.
4. SURNAME CHANGES: Did any of the families Americanize or otherwise change their surnames upon arrival in America?
Any *mann or *mans to *man? Blase to Blausey. Böhning to Bohning. Bracksiker to Bracksieker? Bükker to Buekker? Hanebaum to Hannebaum? Köhring to Koehring? Kütter to Kuetter, Kutter or Cutter? Lücking to Luecking, Lueck or Luck? Möller to Moeller? Möllering or Moellering? Pundt to Pund? Schröder to Schroeder? Schürbaum to Schuerbaum? Schürman to Schuerman?
5. FARE: What was the cost for each of the passengers to sail on the Marianne?
Several notations appear on the bottom of the passenger list. They indicate that the fare for the 156 adult passengers was $234 (probably US money) per head, with each of two US citizens on board receiving a $3 discount. Children "under the age of 5" numbered 29, and they apparently traveled free or for a significant discount. Strangely enough, there are no 5-year-old children on the list! On the transcribed webside, an asterisk and a small number (in red) have been placed by each child who apparently received this discount. This exercise yielded the information that Henry Koehring, #6, with his age obscured by an unfortunate ink blot, was apparently not counted among the 29 and so we may assume he is 5 years of age or older.
A separate published source states that the typical cost of passage in the early 1840's was some 30 German talers per adult. What was the US$ to DE$ exchange rate at that time (8:1) ? Still a mystery.
6. FINANCING THE FARE: How did the passengers on the Marianne raise the money needed for their fare? Had they saved it, sold their property, or borrowed it?Still a mystery.
7. EMBARKATION DATE: On what date did the Marianne sail from Bremen for this particular voyage?According to the Heimatmuseum Schloss Schöneback für Vegesack und Umgebung e.V., the date of embarkation was August 11, 1843. The same source notes that the voyage took 45 days, and the verified Baltimore arrival date is September 25, 1843. Another source, the newspaper American & Commercial Daily Advertiser, dated September 26, 1843 [on microfilm at the Enoch Pratt Library, Baltimore, Maryland -- See below], says the voyage took "42 days from Bremen." The "42 days" rather than the 45 days listed elsewhere suggests that the Marianne may have actually left Bremen on August 14th.
8. EMBARKATION PLACE: Did the ship sail from Bremen, or from Bremerhaven?While it is usually said that the ship sailed from Bremen to Baltimore, all departures were from the nearby Port of Bremerhaven at the mouth of the Weser River. The Port of Bremerhaven was established in 1827.
9. ARRIVAL DATE: Was the real date of arrival of the Marianne in Baltimore, September 7, 1843, or September 25, 1843?
The actual date of arrival is not shown on the handwritten passenger list. A typed cover sheet in the US National Archives, obviously prepared much later and probably prepared just for the microfilming project, shows the date, "September 25, 1843." Another date has been penciled in on the list, also much later than the original list: "September 7, 1843." This is also the arrival date written on each of the Soundex index cards that were prepared in the 1920's or 1930's, then microfilmed. It is virtually impossible for the ship to have arrived on September 7, 1843, however. Recently a treasure-trove of Marianne voyage information has been received (see item #35 below) from a maritime museum in Vegesack, Germany, through Andrew Petenbrink, including the number of days required for the Marianne to make each of its voyages from Bremen to Baltimore. If the ship had arrived on September 7, 1843, then the length of the voyage would have been only 28 days -- faster than the all-time Marianne record of 32 days set in 1852! Therefore the September 7th arrival date can be assumed to be totally incorrect!
Newly arriving immigrants sang with enthusiasm when they reached Locust Point:
Werfen wir die Händ' empor,
Und rufen laut Victoria
Jetzt sind wir in Amerika!
~~~~~~~
When we arrive in Baltimore
Our hands are pointed to the shore,
We loudly shout Victoria,
We made it to America!
10. SHIP'S NAME: Is the name of the ship spelled "Marianne" or "Marianna"?
Documents written and signed by the Master of the Marianne clearly spell the name as "Marianne." The only exception: Certain documents in the US National Archives incorrectly spell the name as "Marianna." Several people have pointed out that the pronunciation of "Marianne" would have been "marianna" for most of the passengers.
11. MOTIVATION: What were the living conditions in the Melle area in 1843? (Economic depression? Military emergency? Famine or crop failure? Unusually bad weather? Religious conflict? Political disorder?)During the early 1840's crop failures and potato blight sent food prices and emigration from the Osnabrück area sky high. Most farmers in this area supplemented their farm income with some sort of craft or trade. The largest cottage industry at that time was hand-loom linen weaving. A steady increase in the use of mechanized spinning and weaving caused a collapse in linen prices. Combined with poor harvests, most farmers felt desperate to change their situation. A royal Prussian decree to unite Lutheran and Reformed churches into one state church caused great protest. In 1838, conservative Old Lutherans decided to escape the enforced church union and began to leave for America. Catholics and Jews were also among those who emigrated. Densely populated Saxony and sparsely populated Mecklenburg were both losing their share of people to the United States. In terms of numbers, the largest group of religious emigrants in the 19th century were the Old Lutherans who left Prussia during the 1830's and 1840's. People in Prussia felt that the smoldering freedom movement on one side, and repressive government measures on the other side, would eventually lead to a revolution. The general feeling of discontent, as a saying went, "Made the pessimists leave for America and the optimists get ready for battle." Many relatively prosperous families uprooted their families and went to America in order to avoid becoming involved in a bloody uprising. The desire to emigrate was not limited to Protestants alone, however. Catholics and Jews were also included among the passengers of emigrant ships like the Marianne. The revolution finally came to Germany in 1848, but the revolt was viciously suppressed and the old repressive powers celebrated their victory.
12. PLANNING: Had the families on board the Marianne purchased land in America before they left Prussia?Some emigrants could purchase an entire travel package which included departure from Germany, Holland or Belgium, the between-deck steerage class on a sailing ship, and a railroad ticket to their ultimate destination in America. Some even made a down-payment on land which they hadn't yet seen. Payments were made to the agents of American railroad and sailship companies who were stationed at strategic places in Europe.
13. SHIP SELECTION: Why did the passengers choose the ship Marianne over one of the other ships sailing from Bremen that year? (Time of year? Special charter fares? Size to accommodate group? Modern reliability?)In 1842, the Marianne joined the ranks of 35 ships sailing from Bremen to Baltimore. She had been launched on July 19, 1841, and in 1841 took a maiden voyage, a "shakedown cruise" with only 4 passengers aboard not counting the crew. The new schedule set for the Marianne called for several voyages to Baltimore each year, usually between April and October. A total of 4,807 passengers sailed on various voyages from Bremen to Baltimore in 1842, including two voyages of the Marianne. The late summer voyages usually enjoyed better weather for the crossing. Perhaps the prime factor in selecting the Marianne in 1843, however, was the fact that the Marianne was a brand-new vessel with a sterling record of four previous successful round-trip Atlantic crossings.
14. ILLUSTRATION: Does an actual illustration of the Marianne exist today?The beautiful oil painting shown on this website is an actual illustration of the ship Marianne. The Bremen artist, C. Fedeler, lived and painted during the 1800s. From this canvas, one can quickly see why he was particularly renowned for his marine oil paintings. This illustration was obtained from a private collection of ship pictures owned by a judge in Germany, and was forwarded to descendants of Marianne passengers by the
Heimatmuseum Schloss Schönebeck für Vegesack und Umgebung e.V. in June of 1994. In turn it was provided to this website by Andrew C. Petenbrink of Arnold, Maryland in December of 1997.
15. SHIP'S SPECIFICATIONS: A sailship, not a steamship, the Marianne was built in Vegesack, Kingdom of Hanover, Prussia (now Germany), located on the Weser River. She was built by the well known master shipbuilder, Johann Lange, Sr. The Marianne had two decks, two deckhouses, three masts, and was fully rigged. She was launched on July 19, 1841. The ship's owners were Hermann Friedrich Weinhagen and Anton Friedrich Schaer, merchants in Bremen. Her flag number was 212.
The ship's dimensions were as follows:
Length on deck: 114 feet - 2 inches
Breadth moulded: 26 feet - 0 inches
Breadth extreme: 30 feet - 3 inches
Depth moulded: 18 feet - 2 inches
Depth extreme: 19 feet - 0 inches
Gross tonnage: Approximately 650 tons
Construction materials: Built of oak, copper fastened and copper sheathed.
16. RELATIONS: Were any of the families on board related to each other? If yes, how?It is likely that the Hannebaum family from Wetter was related to Henry Klausing, a farmer from Buer, as well as to Elizabeth Stekamper and her three children. Otherwise, still a mystery.
17. TYPES OF PASSENGERS: What types of passengers were on board the Marianne for the late summer voyage of 1843?
Families: The largest passenger category was families, since 27 couples were traveling with one or more of their children. Four of these families were also accompanied by older family members. Perhaps some of the older family members were grandparents. The family category accounts for 153 of the 186 passengers, or about 83% of the group. This was a significant family migration.
Small children: Special notation was made of the fact that 29 of the passengers were "under the age of 5." This was important because they traveled free or at a significant discount. We are fortunate that their names and ages were still included on the list of paying passengers. Some of the 5 or 6 year old passengers may have been included by their families in this "under 5" category to save the cost of passenger fare.
Married couples alone: Surprisingly, the Marianne carried only three married couples who were traveling without children. These people were mostly in their twenties, with the oldest being only 32.
Singles: About 25% of the passengers were young people (18 to 39) apparently unmarried. In this category were 24 males and 18 females. Half were traveling with their families, and the other half were traveling alone. As might be expected, only 6 of the young ladies were traveling alone, while 15 young men traveled by themselves.
Single parents: No single fathers are found traveling with their children, but two mothers and their children were on board, one traveling alone, the other with another family.
18. SINGLES: Did any of the single passengers on board meet and become engaged or married during the voyage? If yes, what were their names?Still a mystery.
19. BIRTHS: Were any children born to passengers during the voyage? If yes, what were their names?No such notation on the passenger list.
20. DEATHS: Did any deaths occur among the passengers during the voyage? If yes, what were their names?No -- passenger Ernst Bohning in his account states that the first death among the passengers occured at Akron, Ohio, after their arrival in America. "However, with deep sorrow, we had to record one death on the journey. Hagemeyer's daughter fell ill with dysentery on the trip, and died when we were near Akron, Ohio. It was most distressing that we couldn't give any relief to the poor child who lay there in spasms. We had absolutely no medication on hand. We could only give her comforting words. When the child had died, she was dressed by my oldest sister in fine German linen, and with a Christian funeral laid to rest in Akron."
21. HISTORIES: Did any of the 1843 Marianne passengers keep journals during their voyage, or later write stories about this experience?In January of 1999, thanks to Jill Carter Knuth of Stanford, California, a first-hand account of the Autumn 1843 voyage of the Marianne came to light. It was written by her ancestor, Ernst Bohning. He was almost ten years old in 1843. Approximately 50 years later, Ernst sat down and wrote the immigration story of his family in the German language. A translated excerpt is part of this website. In addition, you may wish to compare Ernst Bohning's story with the diary of Michael Friedrich Radke, who made a similar voyage with his family in 1848.
22. DESTINATIONS: Were any of the passengers influenced to change their stated destinations after talking with other passengers during their weeks at sea?Still a mystery. Note: The Hannebaum family settled in Franklin County, Indiana, near Cincinnati, Ohio. Perhaps they were influenced by the Langenkemper family, the only passengers on board who specifically said they planned to go to Indiana.
23. AGES: Were any of the passenger's ages deliberately reported incorrectly? (To avoid military conscription, in order to pay a lower ship fare, or for some other reason?) Were any ages accidentally listed incorrectly?Still a mystery.
24. LIST ERRORS: Were any serious errors made on the list? (For example, were there any passengers actually on board who were not included on the passenger list?One serious omission: A young boy, Wilhelm Hannebaum, is known to have come on the same voyage with his family in 1843, but his name is not on the official passenger list.
25. CORRECTIONS: What are possible correct spellings for some of the questionable spellings on the Marianne passenger list?Old World Places: Merkendorf = Markendorf? / Mefsdorf or Mehsdorf = Meesdorf / Barkhusen = Barkhausen? / Gersmold = Gesmold / Rödinghausen = Rüdinghausen? / Vechte = Vechta / Hükerkreuz? Hükerkreig? / Sandunnen? / Vüsenbühren?
New World Places: Cincinatty = Cincinnati, Ohio / Pitsburg = Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania / Perseburg = Percyburg, Ohio, or Pearisburg, Virginia, or Percyburg, NY, or Perseburg, Nebraska / Leesburg = Leesburg, Ohio, or Indiana, or New Jersey, or Virginia / Liefland = Cleveland, Ohio? / Büffln = Boothwyn, Pennsylvania? Buffalo, Ohio, New York or Indiana? Buffington, Indiana? Bluffton, Ohio, Indiana?
Surnames: Bracksiker or Bracksieker? / Stekamper (or Stegkämper, or Stegkaemper, or Stekemper)? / Tickemeive? / Depecker?
26. CHILDREN: Who were the 29 Marianne passengers "under the age of 5"? [Listed in the order they appear on the passenger list.]
27. PROBLEMS: Were there any storms, people overboard, or other serious problems during the late summer voyage of the Marianne in 1843? "However, before long that night, a storm came up. It made the joints of the ship creak, and tossed everything back and forth. It made a racket I shall never forget. Our cooking pots, kettles, cans, plates and cups (which were fortunately all made of tin) flew around in the room as if they were being thrown by someone. The trunks did not stay in one place, but slid back and forth. In addition, there was the noise of the sea, the whipping and howling of the wind, the running of sailors over our head, and the shouted commands of the captain.
"One night there was a cyclone while we were asleep. The ship was literally whirled round and round, and the sailors wanted to fell the masts. Then suddenly, the danger was over. The sailors felt they had been rescued from great danger, and we celebrated their safety with a church service. That was at the end of our third week at sea. The trip lasted another three weeks, but we didn't have any more storms." Source: Ernst Bohning
"The Marianne left Baltimore on November 22, 1846, sailing eastbound to Bremen. On December 23, 1846, the ship passed Dover and arrived at the mouth of the Weser River on January 9, 1847. Here she met strong winds from the East and found a lot of ice in the river. Her Master, Carl Wieting, dropped anchor. However, after laying at anchor for some days, he saw no chance to land the ship. He could not reach port because of the ice, and the ship was going too deep--16 feet. So on January 12, 1847, he turned the ship around, went back out to sea, and tried to sail into the mouth of the Elbe River. Here he also met ice, and unfortunately the ship foundered--struck bottom--but without any damage. After discharging a part of her cargo into a small steamer, the Marianne broke free with the next high tide. She was towed to the port of Cuxhaven by the Elbe, a small steamer. Finally the ship was landed at a berth near the mouth of the Elbe River. On February 24, 1847, the Marianne sailed back to Bremerhaven. She was loaded with cargo and passengers and was ready to sail to Baltimore on March 29, 1847. She sailed on March 31, passed Torbay on April 12, and arrived at Baltimore on May 19, 1847." Source: Heimatmuseum Schloss Schönebeck.
First day of the voyage:
End of their third week at sea:
"Below, it was really pitch-dark, and on top of everything else, we began to feel seasick. It was a miserable feeling that went into us and then poured out again through the heart and mouth. Every one of us thought his last hour had come. Everything the Old Adam had taken in before, he now had to give back again. We prayed to the living God that he would rescue us from this danger. He did; toward morning the weather turned pleasant and calm and we felt moved to thank God for saving us. We began singing a hymn, and somebody read aloud from the Bible how our Lord Jesus and his disciples sailed over Lake Gennesaret and he stilled the rage of the storm.
"The sermon was preached by a man named Koring, a farmer coming from Prussia. He and his wife were both short and fat and so were both of their children, who also had very small slit-eyes. But they were good, pleasant people. Koring continued as our Pastor during the entire trip, and each Sunday we had a church service, with the captain and most of the sailors taking part as well." Source: Ernst Bohning
Another notable incident occurred on a return voyage in 1847:
28. PASSENGERS ON CREW: Did any of the passengers work as ship's crew, and so were not listed as passengers?
It is not yet known whether any members of these families served as ship's crew during the voyage to earn their passage. If so, they might have been on board but their names might not appear on the list of paying passengers. Prime candidates might include a Henry Schneederman. His wife was passenger #45, a paying passenger. Or perhaps the crew included the husbands of the two mothers who were traveling with children: (Elisabeth Stekamper, passenger #8, and Catharina Langemans, passenger #25). Elenore Schuerbaum, passenger #107, is listed with the Langenkemper family, but the list notes that she possesses a separate trunk, as if she is married. So perhaps her husband was a crewman on board. Even the mysteriously missing young man, Wilhelm Hannebaum, #34a, may have earned his passage across the Atlantic by working as a cabin boy, taking him off the list of paying passengers. There are many other possibilities that make it worthwhile to search for a list of the ship's crew for that voyage.
29. CREW LIST: Is a list of the crew of the Marianne for this 1843 voyage available?HELP! Still a mystery, although we know the ship's master was Carl Wieting. He commanded the ship beginning with its maiden voyage from Bremen to Baltimore, departing December 30, 1841. His final voyage arrived in Baltimore on September 9, 1847, and Master F. G. Warkmeister commanded the next voyage, which departed from Bremen on November 18, 1847. A ship's crew list would help solve several major mysteries of this voyage!
30. RETURNEES: Had any of the passengers visited the United States before?
Friedrich Depeker, passenger #1, was a New Orleans merchant who had visited Europe and was returning to Louisiana. Friedrich Schröder, #184, was a "servant" from Baltimore who was returning from Europe to Maryland.
31. GROUND TRANSPORTATION: After arrival, how did the passengers travel from Baltimore on to their destinations? (Train, canal boats, other ships, horse or oxen drawn wagons, etc.)To understand this aspect of their arrival, it is very helpful to read the the account of Ernst Bohning, and compare it with the immigration diary of Michael Friedrich Radke, who arrived with his family just five years later in 1848.
32. PASSENGERS AND DESCENDANTS: Photographs and/or information about passengers on the Marianne will appear here as received. Please correspond by email.
"I viewed the National Archive record of the [late summer] 1843 Marianne passenger list on a trip to Jasper, Indiana in June of 1997. I determined that Frederich Lippold[t], age 7 on this list is my great-great grandfather. My uncle, Otto Lippoldt and a second cousin, Mona Lippoldt Amthor (great-grandchildren of Frederich) are also very involved in searching our heritage."- - Linda Lippoldt Spivey lspivey@ibm.net
"Hello, I am a decendant of the Blase family that came to America on the Autumn 1843 Marianne voyage from Bremen to Baltimore. My name is Diane (Blausey) Ringhiser. Passenger #112, Johann Blase, age 9, is my great-great grandfather. The Blase family was friends with the Bohning family that left Barkhausen, Germany. The Henry Blase family continued on to Perrysburg, Ohio in October or November 1843 by way of Lake Erie and the Maumee River, after reaching Cleveland with the Bohning family. From there, they traveled east about 15 miles to Woodville, Sandusky County, Ohio, on the McPherson Highway, a toll road called "The Pike" -- now U.S. 20. The Blases were farmers. My ancestor Johann Frederich "Fred" changed his surname spelling from "Blase" to "Blausey." Most of the Blase/Blausey descendants still live in the northwest area of Ohio. Much of the original farmland is still in possession of the family, passed down from generation to generation. The information I have given you comes from a booklet titled "The Blase/Blausey Family of the Woodville Township Area in Ohio, Following Their Emigration from Germany to America 1843-1989." It contains most of the genealogical information as well as some background information. If you have any questions or something that I might be able to help with please send email to me.- - Diane L. Ringhiser RINGHISER@prodigy.net
"Hi - I would like to thank you very much. Using the Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild (ISTG) website, I searched for my great - great - great - grandfather. I knew his age and approximately the year he immigrated to the US. I also knew the approximate location. Using your website, I was able to determine the name of the ship - the Marianne! He is listed as #160, Joseph Kramer, age 11. And, thanks to you, I now know who his parents were. While they did immigrate to Cincinnati, Ohio, they later moved to Dayton, Ohio.- - Michael Prouse michaelprouse@yahoo.com
33. GERMAN RELATIVES: Of the families who sailed on the Marianne in 1843, do any of them still have families living in Germany today who have records of these auswanderers?While the answer is obviously "yes" we do not have specific information from any related families residing in Germany today.
34. CHILDREN IN GERMANY: Did any of the parents on board the Marianne leave any of their children in Germany? (Including those who died young, and older children who wished to remain in Germany?) If yes, who were they?
While the answer is obviously "yes" we do not have specific information, with the exception of the Hannebaum family from Wetter.
