immigration notes on voyage Forest Monarch Ship: 977 tons: 149' x 31' x 23' Built: 1851 by Pierre Valin at Quebec, Canada Mormon emigrants from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway-the first large Scandinavian company-assemb led at Liverpool and on New Year's Day 1853 boarded the Canadian-built packet ship Forest Mon arch . However, storms and contrary winds kept the vessel anchored in the River Mersey for mo re than two weeks. During that time three children died, two babies were born, three passenge rs were converted and baptized, and some emigrants were injured when a nearby craft broke loo se from her moorings and drifted into the Forest Monarch. Finally on 16 January 1853 the Scan dinavians sailed out of the estuary and were on their way to America. There were now 297 Sain ts among the passengers. Elder John E. Forsgren presided over the company. Two years earlie r he had opened the Scandinavian Mission with Apostle Erastus Snow. Forsgren's shipboard coun selors were Elders Christian Christiansen and J. H. Christensen. During the voyage the weathe r was generally pleasant, although the ship was becalmed for several days. Provisions were poor, and fresh water was ex hausted before reaching port. Four deaths were recorded, and three children were born durin g the crossing. After a fifty-nine day passage the ship arrived at New Orleans on 16 March, b ut several days earlier at the mouth of the Mississippi five more emigrants died. This British square-rigger was skippered by Captain Edmund Brewer and hailed out of Liverpool . The Forest Monarch was carver-built with three masts, one deck, a round stern, a standing b owsprit, and a figurehead of a man. Her owners had been Pierre Valin of Quebec, her builder , and De Novo at Liverpool. The vessel was not listed in Lloyd's Register after 1854. Christensen, Herman Julius, 1853, NA, John E.
