James Funck is Master, from Havre burthen 1,153 59/95 tons.
Columns represent: Name, Age, Sex, Occupation, Country to which they
severally belong, Country of which they intend to become inhabitants. In
this instance, the Captain listed the occupation of each and every
passenger, including infants, as farmer, so this column was eliminated. All
passengers were destined for the United States, so this column was
eliminated.

SHIP WILLIAM TELL
According to comtemporary New York newspapers, the packet sailing ship,
WILLIAM TELL, Funk master,
arrived at New York on 27 June, from Havre 21 May, with merchandise and 618
passengers, to Boyd and
Hincken, "llth (instant), lat 42 35 lon 51, saw a large iceberg".
The WILLIAM TELL was a 3-masted, square-rigged sailing ship, built by
Westervelt and Mackey in
1850. 1153 tons; 175 ft x 10 in x 29 ft 2 in (length x beam x depth of
hold) She sailed in Boyd
& Hinken's "Second Line" of packets between New York and LeHavre from 1850
to 1862, during which time
the average of her westward passage was 36 days, her shortest being 25 days,
her longest 60 days
(Robert Greenhalgh Albion, -Square Riggers on Schedule; The New York
Sailing Packets to England,
France, and the Cotton Ports-Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1938,
p.286).
The following information was posted by Michael Palmer to the Immigration
Ships List:
On the morning of 2 September 1861, at about 2 AM, the ship WILLIAM TELL,
lying in New York City's
North River, outward bound for LeHavre, caught fire, and was burned to the
water's edge. The
passengers and crew were taken of by Capt. James Benner, of the Union Ferry
Company's boat, MONTAGUE.
The vessel was beached on the lower side of Governor's Island, and was still
burning on the evening
of the following day, the fire being forward among some coal. Three
streams of water were kept
upon it. By 6 September, the wrecking schooners NORMA and RINGGOLD had
managed to put steam pumps on
board, and on the morning of 8 September she was floated and towed to the
Pierrpont Stores, Brooklyn,
where she discharged what remained of her cargo. Boyd & Hincken considered
the vessel to be a total
loss, and sold her. However, her new owners rebuilt her in 1862 and
re-registered her in Boston.
Four years later, shortly before 5 January 1866, the ship WILLIAM TELL
Jones, bound from Simons Bay,
Cape of Good Hope, for Puget Sound, in ballast, struck a reef of rocks in
the Strait of Juan de Fuca,
(between Vancouver Island and the present State of Washington), and went to
pieces; the crew were saved.
(New York Herald, 3 September 1861, pp.4b and 5f; 4 September 1861, p.4e; 5
September 1861 p. 5e;
7 September 1861 p.2c; 9 September 1861, p.3a; and 16 January 1866, p.8e)
