They sailed to Copenhagen, then out on the Baltic Sea to Keil, Germany, where they boarded a train to Altona. From Altona the woman and children, along with the baggage, took a little steamer for the mile or two on the River Elbe to Hamburg, Germany. The men walked.
On May 25, 1866, they sailed on the double-decked packet ship "Kenilworth". The ship was towed down the Elbe River and soon was out on the North Sea. There were 684 Mormon emigrants and a crew on board. By June 1st they were out into the turbulent waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
They landed on the shored of American on Sunday, July 15, 1866.
The group marched through New York City to the East River, where they boarded a large steamship, which took them to New Haven, Connecticut, via the East River and Long Island Sound. They took a train from New Haven through the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont.
They arrived in Monreal, Canada, on July 19th. They traveled for two more days along Lake Ontario, boarded a ferry on the St. Clair River, which separated Canada from the State of Michigan in the U.S., and took the ferry to Fort Huron, Michigan. They then took a train to Chicago, Ill.
On July 24, 1866, they left Chicago, Ill. By train and rode to Quincy, Illinois, which was on the Mississippi River. They continued their journey through Missouri to St. Joseph. On their arrival in St. Joseph they were given only one hour in which to procure provisions for a two day trip on a steamship up the Missouri River to Wyoming, Nebraska. They arrived there on August 11, 1866. They waited two days for their baggage to catch up with them. When it arrived most of it had been broken and was missing. People in the area were still very unfriendly towards Mormons.
They started for Salt Lake Valley on August 13, 1866. They were with the Abner Lowry Company and were the last Pioneer Company to cross the plains that year. The following year (1867) the railroad was completed and opened several hundred miles west.
" On September 27, they were met at the Three Crossings of the Sweetwater, by a Mule train sent by Brigham Young, some 450 miles out, to help bring them in. It was a welcome sight. They finally arrived on October 11, 1866, in Salt Lake City.
