We relived the emigration to America
On July 4, 1825, the first Norwegian emigrants set sail from Stavanger to North America aboard the sailing ship Restauration.
200 years later, the Restauration Friends Association followed in their wake. On the same dates, we departed and arrived with Restauration on the same voyage from Stavanger to New York City — to honor their courage and share the story of those who built a bridge between Norway and North America.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in commemorating one of Norway’s greatest adventures.
Please Support us and our volunteer work.
