The Wilson ships that brought emigrants from Göteborg to Hull always
departed on Fridays. Normally the crossing took 50 hours. If conditions
were good, it happened that you could come over the North Sea in 39
hours. But sometimes you did not reach Hull until Monday morning after
being at sea for 70 hours. As a rule emigrants expected to be able to leave in 1-4
days after arriving in Liverpool, but because of over bookings they often
had to wait much longer.
