The Bremen bark COPERNICUS was built at Vegesack/Grohn by Johann Lange, for the Bremen firm of N. Gloystein Söhne, and was launched on 16 April 1851. 223 Commerzlasten / 481 tons; 37,8 x 8,8 x 4,9 meters (length x beam x depth of hold). Her masters were, in turn, Heinrich Wieting, Bremerhaven (1851-1857), C. J. H. Rahe, Bremen, Hermann Mahnken, Vegesack (1860), and J. Haesloop, Vegesack (1864).
In 1864, Gloystein Söhne sold the COPERNICUS to T. M. Wiel, of Fredrikshald, Norway, who renamed the vessel NORA. In 1894, the NORA was acquired by T. S. Aschehoug, also of Fredrikshald, from whom she passed in time to Thv. Lund. Masters of the NORA were, in turn, O. E. Eriksen, C. Hansen, and B. Eriksen.
On 7 July 1903, bound from Fredrikshald for Bristol with a cargo of Lumber, the NORA was abandoned at sea off Helder.
