The ship Columbia left the dock at Liverpool on the sixteenth of November, 1856, and sailed from the river Mersey on the eighteenth, bound for New York with two hundred and twenty-three Saints and some other passengers on board. The Saints sailed under the presidency of Elders John Williams, George Baker and Benjamin Floyd. During the voyage several strong gales and heavy squalls were encountered, in consequence of which considerable seasickness prevailed. On the eleventh of December Sister Skinner was delivered of a son. The cold weather and the heavy rolling of the ship prevented most of the sisters and children from leaving their berths during Christmas, which was spent on board.The Columbia arrived safely in New York, after a voyage of forty-five days, and toward evening of January 1, 1857, the passengers were landed at Castle Garden. The next morning they were visited by brethren from the 'Mormon' office and others. Apostles Parley P. Pratt, John Taylor, George A. Smith and Erastus Snow also visited the newcomers at Castle Garden and gave them good counsel and advice. Soon afterwards most of the Saints continued the journey to St. Louis, Missouri, with a design to go ultimately to Utah.
