B. S. KIMBALL
Ship: 1192 tons: 184' x 38' x 19'
Built: 1857 at Rockland, Maine
	8 May 1865-Captain Dearborn sailed the B. S.  Kimball from Hamburg with 558 Saints aboard. Most of the emigrants again were  from Scandinavia. The company was directed by Elder Anders W. Winberg, his  counselors John Swensen and Hans C. Hogsted. The voyage was tragic, measles and  scarlet fever breaking out at sea. Three adults and twenty-five children died, one of the  highest death tolls of an emigrant company. After a thirty-seven-day passage the ship  arrived at New York on 14 June.
	The B. S. Kimball was owned by David B. and George A. Dearborn of New  York City and John E. Donnell of Portland, Maine. She was built with two decks, a  square stern, and a figurehead. Apparently this three-masted vessel was modified  slightly, for her breadth was later increased to 39 feet and depth to 25 feet. Tonnage in  1865 was increased to 1285 tons by a somewhat different calculation. In her early  years the ship ran in the Regular Line in the New Orleans trade. In 1868 her  registration was cancelled, because the vessel was lost.
