The "Dockenhuden"
This German emigrant ship arrived here from Port Phillip on Monday evening , after having landed the larger proportion of the passengers at Melbourne — where the payment of their own passages seems to have been, and very justly, no small recommendation. Those who have arrived here are two gentlemen in the cabin, and twenty-seven of those who are equally welcome in the steerage.

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).
