 Historical sources may contain several variations on the name of the sloop, including "Restauration", "Restoration", "Restaurasjonen", and "Restorasjon".On what is considered the first organized emigration from Norway to the United States, "Restauration" set sail from Stavanger on July 4, 1825, with 52 people aboard, many of them Norwegian Quakers.Probably many of this group belonged to a similar local movement, the Haugeans, a Lutheran sect which derived its name from Hans Nielsen Hauge.
