Further comments

Look up http://www.norwayheritage.com for long article on the Alardus - called the Fever Ship - it looks as though she might have been on this voyage although dates are odd. It could be a previous voyage - Captain committed suicide, First mate had consumption, no matron in charge of a lot of single women on board, large number of people dying from fever, and very cramped quarters
