The Bremen ship ORPHEUS was built at Burg (now Bremen-Burg) by J. H. Bosse, and launched on 4 April 1854. 261 Commerzlasten / 588 tons register; 42,5 x 9,5 x 5,2 meters (length x beam x depth of hold). Original owners: Konitzky & Thiermann, Bremen, operators (1/3); Georg C. Mecke & Co, Bremen (1/2); and the captain, Diedrich Schilling (1/6). She was employed in the emigration trade to North America, and was known as a fast vessel: in December 1854, the ORPHEUS sailed from New York to Bremerhaven in the hitherto unheard of time of 18 days 6 hours.
Schilling was succeeded as captain in 1857 by Johann Philipp Wessels, who in 1862 also acquired Schilling's 1/6 share in the vessel. In 1862, Ferdinand Wessels appears as master, although possibly only as a substitute, since Johann Philipp Wessels was again captain of the ORPHEUS in 1863.
In May 1865, the cargo of the ORPHEUS on its return voyage from New York to Bremerhaven included a dozen alligators, destined for the zoological gardens in Köln and Dresden. The next voyage of the ORPHEUS was a race, roundtrip from Bremerhaven to New York and back, with the Bremen bark GUTENBERG, Capt. Hinrich Raschen, the wager being 500 Thaler; the race was won by the GUTENBERG.
In the night of 17/18 November 1865, the ORPHEUS, bound from Hamburg to New York with emigrants, collided in the vicinity of North Sand Head (in the English Channel) with the British schooner MARIA, from Scarborough, which sank; although the captain of the schooner was able to save himself, his wife and the 3 members of the crew were drowned.
In 1868, the ORPHEUS was re-rigged as a bark. On 2 November of that year, Kautzner, master, she sailed from Baltimore for Amsterdam with a cargo of tobacco, but early in December was stranded near Texel. The cargo was removed in lighters, and the vessel refloated, and towed to Nieuwe Diep. Shortly afterwards, the ORPHEUS was sold to M. Peterson & Sön, Moss, Norway, and from this time on sailed under the Norwegian flag, although retaining her old name. Her new captain was M. Bruusgaard. On 15 October 1877, on a voyage from Husom to London with a cargo of wood, the ORPHEUS was abandoned by her crew on Dogger Bank. On 19 October, the abandoned vessel was spotted approximately 100 miles from Cuxhaven by the Hamburg steamer UHLENHORST, which towed her to that port, whence on 22 October she was taken in tow by the steamers GRAF MOLTKE, GERMANIA, and COWPEN to Hamburg.
