Andrea Hansen, 4, traveled steerage with her mother and three sisters on board the SS Norge. The family were saved and spent several days in an open lifeboat in the Atlantic. Andrea suffered greatly and even after rescue, she died in hospital. Her mother and three sisters survived and went on to America. The family had also lost the youngest child, Isidore Josefine (2), only months before travel.
