Oltmann Jaburg - Die Bremer Bark ‚Union‘

The Bremen bark UNION was built at Burg (Bremen-Burg) by J. H. Bosse, and was launched on 6 September 1854. Her original owners were the Bremen firm of Konitzky & Thiermann. The UNION was employed chiefly in the emigrant trade. In 1863, she was sold to Engelbert Walte, of Bremen, and placed under the command of Johann Conrad Heinrich Eckenberg (1863-1864), then of Wilhelm Philipp August Picherl, both of Bremen. In 1865, she was sold again, to a Captain Berg, of Friedrichshald, Norway, who was sailing her until about 1872. Her ultimate fate is not known.
