The Grasbrook is one of the vessels belonging to Peter Goddefroy and Co., the well known Hamburg firm, whose vessels keep up a regular line from Hamburg via the Cape. She has brought as usual a cargo of miscellaneous goods and a number of passengers. The voyage from the Cape has been performed in 34 days without noteworthy incident.

An index from the State Library South Australia (SLSA) shows that 21 German migrants should have been on the Grasbrook for Port Adelaide, I have been able to find numbers 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 using the link above. Regards Robert, Adelaide
