SJR102,1,2
1
Relating to:
honoring the 200th anniversary of Norwegian immigration to the
2
United States.
SJR102,1,4
3
Whereas, the sloop
Restauration
departed Stavanger, Norway, on July 4, 1825,
4
carrying dozens of passengers across the Atlantic Ocean despite its small size; and
SJR102,1,7
5
Whereas, much like those who journeyed on the famed
Mayflower
over two
6
centuries prior, the passengers aboard the
Restauration
sought religious freedom in
7
the United States; and
SJR102,1,10
8
Whereas, the
Restauration
arrived in New York Harbor on October 9, 1825, to
9
much sensation among the local press, with one newspaper headline describing the
10
arrival of the
Restauration
as “a novel sight”; and
SJR102,1,13
11
Whereas, between 1825 and 1925, more than 800,000 Norwegians followed the
12
“sloopers” of the
Restauration
by emigrating to the United States in pursuit of
13
opportunity; and
SJR102,2,2
1
Whereas, Wisconsin became home to many of these immigrants, with about 25
2
percent of all Norwegian Americans living in Wisconsin by 1900; and
SJR102,2,4
3
Whereas, Norwegian Wisconsinites have uniquely shaped our state’s proud
4
history and culture; and
SJR102,2,7
5
Whereas, to celebrate the bicentennial of
Restauration’s
voyage, a replica ship
6
of the same name embarked from Stavanger on July 4, 2025, to make the same
7
journey to New York; and
SJR102,2,10
8
Whereas, this journey honors the first organized Norwegian emigration to the
9
United States, as well as the cultural and historical ties between Norway and the
10
United States; now, therefore, be it
SJR102,2,13
11
Resolved by the
senate
, the
assembly
concurring, That
the Wisconsin
12
State Legislature honors the year 2025 as the 200th anniversary of Norwegian
13
immigration to the United States.
