Jason M. Burns thesis, 2000
A thesis submitted to the Department of History, the University of West Florida for the degree of Master of Arts, 2000. 130 p. Abstract: The remains of the Norwegian ship 'Catherine' were archaeologically documented in 1998. Built in 1870, it served 20 years in the British merchant marine and was eventually sold to Norwegian owners. Drawn to Pensacola, Florida, by its growing lumber industry, the newly named 'Catherine' attempted to make the pass and grounded on August 7, 1894. In 1998 the National Park Service requested that the Archaeological Institute at the University of West Florida document the site archaeologically and provide conservation treatment to artifacts recorded from the site. Chapter 3 discussed Pensacola's rise as a lumber port, Norwegian shipping within Pensacola and Pensacola's historical Norwegian community as a whole. "Little Norway" encompassed less than one square mile and was home to most of Escambia County's 220 Norwegian residents, (p.32). Norwegian Seamen's Church was established 1876, closed 1921, with most Norwegian parishioners being absorbed by Immanuel Church.
