" After the barque from Stettin (the swift sailing "NORMA", Captain Schultz) in 1850 had suffered a disaster in Nicaragua, it then had to anchor at the mouth of the Rio Grande, more or less on the central Atlantic coast of Nicaragua............"
About the 15th of September of 1853 Captain Joh. Klamp of the boat schooner "SOLON" returned to Salt Creek (Port Cartago) to announce, Moín(?) (seen on the following page) "therefore the highway from Salt Creek to Carthage will be inaugurated at the beginning of November of 1853 ". This was motivated by the news issued in error by von Bülow that the obstacles were eliminated and that the highway was constructed, and occasioned strong conterpropaganda against emigration in the German press, because the highway still could not be constructed........
Because of this the trip of the "SOLON" was cancelled and in its place it was announced that 01 October of 1853 the Bremen brig "ANTOINETTE" (swift with two masts), Capitán Schulcken, would sail promptly to Costa Rica (mouth of the Matina). This date was postponed and soon announcement was made of the same "ANTOINETTE", but with Beling Captain, for the 15 of October of 1853 and to Greytown. Finally this boat departed the 24 of October of 1853 and arrived at GREYTOWN the 14 of December of 1853 at dusk, after 51 days of passage.
page 171 of 230
Also the "Deutsche Auswanderer-Zeitung" (periodical of German emigrants) of Bremen published in his No. 91 issue of 15 of November of 1853 a list of the boats that had weighed anchor, according to which in the period from the 1st of January 1853 to the 31st of October 1853 from Bremen to Costa Rica (Greytown) only one boat departed with 100 passengers, that was the "ATOINETTE", Beiling Captain, the 24 of October of 1853. Probably it made a stop in the Danish island St. Thomas (Virgin Islands, later American), which was a great seat of transfer and where the boats interchanged their mail, cargo, provisions, passengers and the news.
When I already had almost stopped searching there appeared the following German emigrants to Costa Rica in 1853 in the National File of Costa Rica (drawer 1853) in a written letter of the 29th October 1853 by the German von Bülow, indicating the passengers enrolled until the 29th August 1853 in Bremen to embark on the brig "ANTOINETTE" to port Limón. This list also is in the book of Hendrik Dane "Die wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen Deutschlands zu Mexiko und Mittelamerika im 19."
"Jahrhundert" (the economic relations of Germany with Mexico and Central America in the 19th century), Bönlau Verlag Köln Wien 1971. This list does not contain all of the passengers who certainly traveled with the "ANTOINETTE", but however some that traveled with this boat, like for example the family JOHANNING, coming from Bielefeld (10 people), which finally traveled via Cape Horn, arriving in 1854 at Puntarenas Costa Rica. But the fact that the family ROHRMOSER already on 29 August 1853, that is to say, before starting off from Stetin, was enrolled for the emigration confirms to me that originally they wanted to travel with the "SOLON" (15 September 1853), because no other boat was announced, not the "ANTOINETTE", that was not announced until after the "SOLON" had been cancelled.

In San Jose Costa Rica 21 November 1977, when this example was already in a rough draft
form, I looked in the National File for the letter of von Bülow of 29 October 1853 that
accompanied the list. I assembled and copied it by hand, because it was written on both
sides on a very thin paper, I could not use the photocopier. It was above the drawer of
1853 with two more (letters) of von Bülow, that is to say: Of the 4 November 1853 of the
Colony Angostura in which he informed the Government that Berlin had received the news
with the last mail that the Boat with the emigrants would not arrive at Limóin but at
Greytown. Of the 24 December 1853 of Greytown with the following list of the workers for
the Angostura Colony:

BRIG ANTOINETTE REPLACES SCHOONER "SOLON"
Some how the Schooner "Solon" is replaced at the last moment by the "BRIG ANTOINETTE" as
she is to depart Bremen, Germany for Port Limon in Costa Rica, but at the last minute
the port is also changed to arrive at GREYTOWN also known as San Juan del Norte or
BlueFields, a port between Nicaragua and Costa Rica, on the Pacific ocean side.
She arrived at Greytown Nicaragua on December 14 1853.
