This document summarizes the immigration histories of Philip Baker and Harriett Ann Thompson Baker to the United States and Utah. Philip Baker departed from Liverpool, England in 1851 aboard the Ellen Maria and arrived in New Orleans, later traveling overland to Salt Lake City. Harriett Ann Thompson departed from Liverpool in 1853 aboard the Golconda with her family and arrived in New Orleans, then continued by steamboat and ox train to Salt Lake City. They married around 1860-1861 in Beaver, Utah and had 10 children.
CAPT. GEO FLAVEL -- WRECK & PERIL OF THE GEN'L WARREN -- LONG FORMRoch Steinbach
THIS IS THE SAME GRIPPING TALE told with CONTEMPORARY MAPS of the Mouth of the Columbia River !! A tale of the dangers of Pacific coast travel in the 1850's, before e there was any COAST GUARD PRESENCE on the river. The tale of the WRECK & PERIL of the GENERAL WARREN was a needless disaster occasioned by pride & foolhardiness; and triggered a daring sea-rescue gone wrong on the bar, at the mouth of the Columbia River, January, 1852.
THE SHIPWRECK WAS the virtually inevitable outcome of an unregulated shipping industry exploited by Pacific coast capitalists working the "coasting trade" between the newly recognized Oregon Territory and the equally untested State of California. The vessel that went down -- the General Warren -- was an 1844 screw steamer that left service in New York in 1850, and arrived in San Francisco on July 20, 1851: she was just one of a number of old tubs that were sailed around the Cape during the gold excitement in California. The disaster was entirely preventable -- and in fact was foreseen by a machinist who declined to accept work on the voyage outbound from Astoria: the voyage that wrecked the "General Warren". The story here is approximately as told in the papers of Oregon historian Fred Lockley.
This PP presents the principal explorers involved in the search for the NW Passage also known as The Canadian Arctic Passage.
In some cases I have used some difficult to access manuscripts.

In the Frontier Guardian of May 30th, 1851, the following notice appears:
'The Robert Campbell (a steamboat) arrived on Wednesday the twenty-first (May) at Kanesville,
[Council Bluffs, Iowa – known as Kanesville until 1852] with a large company of Saints from England,
Scotland, etc., under the watchcare and direction of Elder George D. Watt, our able phonographic writer
and lecturer. A goodly number of both companies (referring to the Olympus Company also,) are destined
for the valley of the Great Salt Lake this season, and the balance will remain in this and surrounding
counties of western Iowa, for the time being to raise wheat, corn, potatoes, * * * All the Saints who have
got this far on their journey, seem to be anxious to get to the end of it; but the weather being so very
unfavorable for the last ten days, they are compelled to lie on their oars a short time, much against their
will.' Millennial Star, Vol. XII, pages 58, 200."

SIXTY-SECOND COMPANY. -- Golconda, 321 Saints. Under the presidency of Elder Jacob Gates, three
hundred and twenty-one Saints sailed from Liverpool, on board the ship Golconda, January 23, 1853.
Among other prominent elders on board there were Claudius V. Spencer, A. M. Harmon, R. Rostron, W.
Speakman and John Carmichael, who had acted as pastors and presidents of conferences; some of them
had been in the missionary fields for many years. Among those who emigrated in the Golconda, were the
late Thomas King and his wife, Hannah Tapsfield King, who assisted quite a number of poor Saints in
emigrating to Zion.
After a prosperous voyage of forty-four days, the Golconda arrived at the Balize, at the mouth of the
Mississippi River, where they waited twelve days for a steam tug to take them up to New Orleans. During
the voyage, half an hour's storm despoiled the gallant vessel of her three top masts. Four births, two
marriages, and two deaths occurred on board; the health of the Saints was very good generally during
the entire passage. On the twentieth of March, Elder Spencer baptized Erik M. Caste, a Swedish sailor,
who accompanied the Saints to the Valley. The conduct of Captain Kerr gave great satisfaction to all the
company, and before the parting a vote of thanks, with three cheers, was tendered him.
4. On the twenty-sixth of March the vessel arrived safely in New Orleans, where the emigrants boarded the
steam packet Illionois, on which they continued the journey to St. . Louis, Missouri, and thence, soon
afterwards, to Keokuk, Iowa.

Harriet Ann Thompson, Reminiscences
"We came to Utah in 1853, crossed the ocean in the old style sail-vessel "Galconda" [Golconda]. Mr.
Bwerker was the sea captain. It took 70 days to cross from Liverpool to New Orleans. We were detained
in mid-ocean because of a severe storm. From New Orleans we traveled to Keokuk, Iowa waiting at this
point 3 weeks for ox teams to be fitted out for crossing the plains.
The next move was to Council Bluffs, Iowa then on to Salt Lake City. They put ten outfits in a company.
Each company having a captain. Our captain was Joseph W. Young.
My father, William P. Thompson, a sick Mother, a cripple, with four young children, set out on this long
trip. At night Father stood guard against the Indians, he drove ox team during the day. Mother and baby
10 months old, Sarah Ann, rode. The other members walked full distance. Well I do remember our feet,
sore and blistered with walking. Also fear of the Indian attacks. One time they stole Father's watch.
Again on the journey Mother was real ill. She had mountain fever. Being to[o] sick to travel, they camped
on the Platte River. Joseph W. Young, our captain, administered to her and promised her she would be
better and live to see Salt Lake Valley, and she did.
We arrived there (Salt Lake City) in the month of October, after a nine month journey
