Sluppen seilte fra Stavanger 4. juli 1825 (noen kilder har 5. juli 1825) og ankom New York tre måneder senere, den 9. oktober, etter en strabasiøs ferd. Båten var på omtrent 39 tonn, 54 fot lang og 16 fot bred. Det var 52 mennesker ombord, de fleste kvekere eller dissentere. Kaptein på båten og leder for «sluppefølget» var Lars Larsen Geilane. Under turen fikk Larsen og konen Martha en pike som ble døpt Margaret Allen, etter en kjent engelsk kvekerkvinne. Sluppefølget ble møtt av Cleng Peerson i New York, og slo seg ned ved Ontariosjøen i Kendall township i staten New York. Ferden ble opptakten til en massiv norsk utvandring til Amerikas forente stater (USA).
