ELISE (1) Bremen ship/bark ELISE. Built by Johann Lange, Vegesak/Grohn, and launched on 10 May 1835 for the Bremen firm of Albers & Koncke. In 1850, she belonged half to the firm of J. D. Koncke Hermanns Sohn and half to Ferdinand Henschen. 177 Commerzlasten/415 tons register; 31,4 x 8,8 x 5,1 meters (length x beam x depth of hold). The ELISE was originally rigged as a ship, but sometime in late 1852 or early 1853, she was re-rigged as a bark. The maritime news columns of the New York newspapers report the following: Bremen ship Elise, Gatjen, master, arrived at New York on 28 August 1851, 38 days from Bremen, with merchandise and 175 passengers:- Bremen bark Elise, Nordenholdt, master, arrived at New York on 28 September 1856, 53 days from Bremen, with merchandise and 171 passengers. On the return leg of this last voyage, the crew of the ELISE rescued 16 survivors from the sunken French steamer LYONNAIS, as reported in the Weser-Zeitung for 4 December 1856.In 1857, the Bremen bark ELISE was sold to O. C. Reinhardt & D.Isaachsen, of Christiansand, Norway, who renamed her VESTA; her captain under the Norwegian flag was T. A. Torjussen. In May 1863, she was stranded at Newfoundland, and became a total loss [Peter-Michael Pawlik, Von der Weser in die Welt; Die Geschichte der Segelschiffe von Weser und Lesum und ihrer Bauwerften 1770 bis 1893, Schriften des Deutschen Schiffahrtsmuseums, Bd. 33 (Hamburg: Kabel, c1993), pp. 187-188. Pawlik's work contains a photograph of the newspaper announcement of the launching of the ELISE in 1835, but the vessel pictured is a steamship, and the picture is probably a stylized representation of the river steamer BREMEN that carried onlookers to the launching from Bremen to Vegesack and back to Bremen.
