| The Adolph, from Hamburg, is one of the Godeffroy line of vessels, and made a favorable passage from the channel, though much delay was occasioned before that. She has experienced the usual amount of storm and calm till she passed Kangaroo Island, when she was making rapid progress up the Gulf with mainroyal and flying-jib set. Suddenly, however, a change in the scene occurred, and a heavy squall came up astern with such fury, that the sheets and halyards fore and aft were immediately let go ; but notwithstanding those precautionary measures the mainyard was carried away in the slings, and came down "by the run" on deck, and the foretopmast was sprung. In this crippled state she headed across the Gulf, and Captain Steinholz made Glenelg light, which was mistaken for that at the Semaphore, and she came to anchor in 3 1/2 fathoms water. The pilot boarded her on Thursday morning, and as soon as the weather moderated she would proceed to the Port. |

| During 1862 the number of ships that sailed from Hamburgh with emigrants for tbe Australian Colonies was I4 and the number of emigrants, 1,132. For Adelaide, the Grasbrook brought 34 passengers, and the Adolph 12. The San Francisco brought 193 for Adelaide and Melbourne ; and the Iserbrook 16 for the Cape and Adelaide. The principal shipments were for Moreton Bay. |
An index from the State Library South
Australia (SLSA) shows that 11 German migrants should have been
on the Adolph for Port Adelaide, I have been able
to find 11 + 1, plus 1 seaman, as listed below — Regards
Robert.
note.— There are very
few surviving original lists of German passengers, so
the data below has been compiled from a variety of sources,
such as contemporary newspaper(s), internet sources,
input from descendants and the South Australian Heraldry
Genealogy society, (SAGHS).
I know the list is incomplete and may contain errors, so any feedback with
additions or corrections, will be most appreciated. Please contact me
