Did the Mormons go by ocean?
I assume you mean travel to Utah when they were forced out of Illinois in 1846. Those that were in Illinois did not travel by ocean, as it would be an extremely round-about way to get to Utah. There were many from the British Isles that were converted to mormonism by missionaries that of course traveled across the ocean to the U.S. to join with the other members. Most, though, traveled up either the Mississippi or Missouri rivers to join with the other members and then traveled across the plains to Utah.
Was there ever a time in America that two wives were legal?
Not technically. In the United states land area yes and no. Before America expanded west, there was the religious convent of the Mormons. Joseph Smith moved out there in the 1800's to get away from his newly created beliefs to what is now Utah. The paligomy continued until Utah was given the option to join the union. They wanted to join but there was a condition, they had to ban paligomy. Hope that answers your question.

When did the Mormon's journey end?
The original Mormon pioneers first arrived in what is now Salt Lake City, Utah in July 1847. Subsequent Mormon pioneer groups travelled the trail each summer until 1870. By that time the transcontinental railroad had been completed and those emigrating to Utah generally did so by train. Mormons were encouraged to join with the main body of the Church in Utah until the turn of the century (before World War 1), when the Church began encouraging members to build up the church in their homelands rather than moving to Utah.
