Notes par Klaaske Aukes / Clara Aukie /Tigchelaar (Klaaske Aukes / Clara Aukie) Tichler

On February 26th 1853, 87 Friesian emigrants sailed from Harlingen with The City of Norwich to England. Some of them came from Kimswerd and Arum. A group of 40 persons was led by Oepke Haitzes Bonnema, pioneer, teacher and wealthy grain merchant. Oepke had bought a large piece of land (800 acres) in Wisconsin, La Crosse County, with the idea to deliver these emigrants a better future. They got a lot of Oepke to edit the soil or keep livestock and with the proceeds they could Oepke pay off. The area around the Mississippi (Black river) was very similar to their old familiar Friesland.

Klaaske Aukes Tigchelaar, married to Bauke Douwes Graafsma and two of their children were also in this group.(Beitske *1844 and Trijntje * 1851) After arriving in England, they traveled by train to Liverpool, where they boarded the freighter (new barque William and Mary 518 ton 140 foot long, built in Bath, Maine, USA, maiden voyage), which was half loaded with rails, dry goods and crockery, so there was still some place for passengers to New Orleans, USA. Eventually eighty-seven left Harlingen, six remained in Liverpool. The crew consisted of captain Timothy Stinson, first mate Sam Welch and about eighteen crew members. They left on March 22, 1853. On the passenger list of the William and Mary are eighty-one names from Friesland. They were housed at the bottom of the vessel in an open space. The ration food that was issued by officer Sam Welsh consisted of seven biscuits, a pound of flour, a pound of oatmeal, a pound of rice, two pounds of dried peas, one pound of sugar, a small bag of tea, a bottle of vinegar, six potatoes, a pound beef, a pound of pork, this should be sufficient for a week. The quality of the food was very bad, the meat was green, moldy biscuits and oatmeal and the vinegar was more water than vinegar. Beef was very similar to elephant meat. Another problem was the harassment by the captain and his crew of the young female passengers. Even before the ship left the harbor, the Friesian young women was forbidden to come barefoot on deck and were not allowed on the after deck where captain Stinson had his hut. It was a bizarre journey. In the hold where they had to eat, sleep, and so on, the air soon became unbearable. During the journey Klaaske and Douwe Graafsma-Tigchelaar lost one of their children (Trijntje). The child was buried at sea. Elsewhere I've read that both children past away during the journey.

There is a story that the SS William & Mary on this maiden voyage has perished near the Bahamas. The Friesian Maritime Museum in Sneek is going to figure this out and send a picture of both ships. The captain of the William and Mary was T. Stinson. It left Liverpool on March 22, 1853 with 81 Friesian passengers, six of them remained at Liverpool. Their leader was O.E. Bonnema. Also aboard were 176 Irishmen. The William and Mary was shipwrecked near Nassau in the Bahamas on Isaac Rock. The passengers were deserted and left for dead by the captain and his crew. The passengers were rescued by a group of natives who collected money for them to continuing on to New Orleans. The group arrived at New Orleans on June 11th1853. The captain and his crew had preceded them and falsely reported that "all were lost at sea". Actually 14 passengers were lost at sea before the shipwreck but that was due to sickness. From New Orleans they went on to Wisconsin, presumably by riverboat to New Amsterdam, La Crosse County, where they arrived November 6th 1853. What exactly happened with the Graafsma's and their offspring is unknown.

On February 28, 1853 the steamer City of Norwich sailed from Harlingen (Friesland, Neth.) with 87 emmigrants of which 40 from Kimswerd. They departed under guidance of a mr. Oepke Bonnema, mechant from Kimswerd. The ship sailed to Liverpool. In Liverpool the company boarded the William and Mary and that ship sailed for New Orleans where it arrived on November 6, 1853. In the company of mr. Bonnema were amongst others Broer Haukes Haagsma, teacher and secretary to mr.
