The ship that brought the Spricks to America

Found this in Aunt Alverna's papers. These scenes were sketched in 1876 on a ship called the Frisia, auf Deutschland, and published in the Leipziger Illustrite Zeitung. That would be the steamer Claus Sprick and his family sailed to America on, and the year. See them anywhere in the sketches? (Click on the image to make it larger.)
