Venue : German Club Tivoli, 291 Dandenong Road, Windsor, Victoria.

Speaker: John Noack on “The 1860 Hamburg Ships and their Passengers to Australia”.

A very warm welcome was extended to all who gathered for a luncheon to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the arrival of the 1860 Emigrant Ships from Hamburg to Melbourne.

The luncheon was co-hosted by the Wendish Heritage Society Australia and International Settlers Group, a Service Group of the Genealogical Society of Victoria.

This celebration included inspections of the original, detailed passenger lists and a talk by John Noack about “The 1860 Hamburg Ships and their Passengers” to Australia. The talk included information about the ships and their voyages, about the most common countries of origin and occupations of their passengers and about some of the problems faced by some passengers during the voyage and after they landed in Melbourne.

Ships from Hamburg, which arrived in Australia during 1860, transported about 600 passengers. The Heinrich, Voorwarts, Madras, Dorothea, Magdalena, , Sophie, Amazone and Boreas landed in Melbourne; the Peter Godeffroy with some Wendish passengers and the Cesar Godeffroy landed in Adelaide and the Australia and Sophie landed in Sydney.

Some Wends arrived in Australia in 1860

The ship Peter Godeffroy under Captain S. Johannsen arrived at Adelaide on 8 April 1860 with 62 passengers. These included some Wendish families from Lusatia and since the descendants of these 1860 passengers now live all over Australia, we welcome you all to our Lunch. Wends from Kolkwitz included the Dubrau, Gollnisch and Reichert families; from Werben the Lewitzka family and from Preilack the Tannnebring family. The passengers are listed below as passengers to South Australia.

Sources of Information

A useful source has been the CD “Emigrants from Hamburg to Australasia 1850-1879” compiled by Eric and Rosemary Kopittke, which is available in the Wendish Library, 27 Livingstone Street in Ivanhoe. The passenger information is based on departure lists kept in Hamburg, which had to be completed if there were more than 25 passengers on board. After 1855, a passenger list was compiled for each ship but the names were recorded in the order in which the passengers boarded the ship. The Kopittkes have included useful information about all of these ships and detailed, non-alphabetical passenger lists for some of them, including the 1860 ships Heinrich, Voorwarts, Madras, Peter Godeffroy, Australia, Dorothea, Magdalena, Cesar Godeffroy, Sophie, Amazone and Boreas.

Another source is the Public Record Office in Victoria, which organized the transcribing of the lists of Hamburg passengers from their hand-written originals during the 1980s and 1990s by volunteers.

The PROV’s transcriptions of passengers are available on (1) the CD ROM “Immigration and Shipping Lists: Unassisted Shipping Index 1851-1923” and (2) on the internet under the heading “Unassisted Immigration to Victoria: Index of inward Passenger Lists for British, Foreign and New Zealand Ports, 1852-1923”, on the website http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search_results.asp. The names of the passengers listed below on board the Macassar, Vesta, Alster have been derived from the above website.

The following passenger lists are based mainly on those in the above computer program “Emigrants from Hamburg to Australasia 1850-1879”, published by the Queensland Family History Society and available for use at the Library of the Wendish Heritage Society Australia Inc.

Since the lists of passengers in this program are not in alphabetical order, which makes an index of surnames essential, the surnames below, which have been entered in CAPITAL letters and entered only once, have been carefully arranged in alphabetical order as an index and they include next to each surname the number given to that passenger on the original, non-alphabetical Hamburg Passenger Lists used by Eric and Rosemary Kopittke. Further details about each passenger’s place of origin, including his or her home town and kingdom/state, as well as the occupation, age, gender and sometimes the actual relationships between people are available on the detailed published lists mentioned above.

All of the surnames marked with an asterisk (*) are derived from the above PRO website. These surnames* or alternative spellings after the slash (/), added from the PRO lists, can thus be easily distinguished from the Kopittkes’ excellent and informative lists of passengers on which this index is based.

The passengers on these 1859 Hamburg ships came from all over Continental Europe and especially Denmark, thus making them truly International Settlers.

An alphabetical listing of surnames for each ship is also available for inspection on the Wendish Heritage Society’s website www.wendishheritage.org.au If any of these pioneers are your ancestors, we look forward to seeing you at this celebration.

The 1860 Hamburg Ships and their Melbourne Passengers

Heinrich

The 200-ton barque Heinrich, which arrived on 30 January 1860 in Melbourne, was built in 1844 in Sweden with the name Helena. She was rebuilt in 1853 and named Heinrich.

The 1860 Hamburg Ships and their Adelaide Passengers

Peter Godeffroy

The 350-ton barque Peter Godeffroy, which arrived on 14 February 1860 in Adelaide, was built in 1857 and she made four trips to Australia. This trip under Captain T Johannsen was the second. The South Australian Advertiser on 9 April 1860 reported that this ship was delayed in South America because the 1,200 ton ship “John and Lucy” ,carrying almost 500 passengers from Plymouth in England, hit an uncharted sunken reef at St Rogue near the South American coast and was wrecked. The life-boats were unusable but fortunately the nearby South American natives used their rowing boats to rescue these passengers and none drowned. Since the Peter Godeffroy was near this site of the shipwreck, she stayed at Simon’s Bay for a while in order to assist these passengers until the ship Orient arrived for the passengers. In 1867 she was sold to Prussia and was renamed Wilhelm. The 79 passengers, including four Wendish families, are the following:

H. BERGER, 61; Johannes BRAUER, 71; Gustav DAMKOHLER/DAMKOEHLER, 78;
