IMMIGRATION: FREIHANDEL

The (Bark) Freihandel is the vessel which carried Maria Krinke and five of her children, Wilhelmine, August, Johann, Emilie and Gustaf (who died enroute) from Bremen, Germany to Baltimore, Maryland, landing in America on 23 September 1873. It was 140 feet in length and was propelled by wind power only; it had no steam engines. It had two decks: cargo below; passengers above, housed in huts and tents. There were 85 passengers (80 aliens and 5 US Citizens). Notice the people on deck in the picture.

------------------------------

The German word "Bark" means "Cash" and "Freihandel" means "Free Trade". The cities of the Hanseatic League (Bremen, Hamburg, Lübeck, and at one time, 70 other cities) promoted free trade from the 14th to the 17th centuries.

"...The Freihandel had been built in 1865. H. H. Myer and Company owned the ship, a 776-ton, 140-foot bark, made of oak with galvanized iron fastenings and propelled only by wind. IT HAD TWO DECKS FOR UP TO 356 PASENGERS: 88 IN "SECOND CABIN" AND 267 "BETWEEN DECKS."

------------------------------

A technical point: to a sailor, a ship and a bark are quite different vessels, and are distinguished by their rigging: in the mid-19th century a ship was a vessel with (at least) 3 masts, all of them square-rigged; a bark (or barque) was a vessel also with 3 masts, the "front" two (the foremast and mainmast) square rigged, the back mast (mizzenmist) rigged fore-and-aft. For a pictorial representation of these different rigs, see the webpage.

------------------------------

Barkentine barquentine barketeen-3 Masted with Sq rigged on fore mast only with the main and mizen being fore and aft rigged .It was used for coastal shipping of it's ability to go into the wind with the fore-aft sails, but still has the square sails to catch long wind currents. http://www.schoonerman.com/sailingterms/bartine.htm
