Germans To America volumes covering a 15 year period from 1850 - 1964 were searched by us for a family matching that of Carl Hiller/Heller without success. Mrs Ruth G. Rasch actually found them, spelled "Miller" in Volume 13, arriving in New York about five days after the family of Carl Keil and Christianna Hiller. Her examination of a photocopy of the original handwritten list confirmed a probable misreading by the researcher for the book.

" According to the New York Herald, the Bremen Bark DORETTE, [Joh. Hinr.] Gätjen, master, arrived at New York on Saturday, 1 September, from Bremen 22 July 1860, with merchandise and 65 passengers, to master. 'Had light N winds first and middle parts of passage and light W winds in latter part . . . took pilot in lat. 41 04, lon. 66 from boat EDMUND BLUNT.' U.S. Customs officials at New York did not work on Saturday afternoons or Sundays, so the passenger manifest was signed, and the vessel officially 'entered in' on the following Monday, 3 September 1860.

"The bark DORETTE was built by Hermann Friedrich Ulrichs, in Vegesack/Fähr, for the firm of Karl Pokrantz & Co., Bremen, and was launched on 3 November 1855. 242 ommerzlasten/503 tons register; 40,5 x 9,0 x 5,1 meters (length x beam x depth of hold); international Signal Code QBLS. In 1870, the DORETTE was sold Norwegian, to H. Chr. Grön, of Lunden and renamed NORDSTJERNEN. In 1880 the Bark was purchased L. G. S. Larsen of Hauan (Sandefjord). In 1904 the NODRSTJERNEN ex DORETTE, after 48 years of service, was condemned in Lisbon and sold for scrapping."

No picture of the DORETTE has been found, but a painting ascribed to Oltmann Jaburg of the slightly larger (602 tons register) bark EDUARD, built by the same firm and launched on 22 May 1857 is available. (see exhibit).
