Return to German Emigrants to South Australia

ship Heerjeebhoy Rustomjee Patel, 510 tons, Captain Eugene Laun, from Bremen 21st April 1845, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 18th September 1845

The South Australian Register, Saturday, September 20 1845
Thursday September 18.— The Ship Heerjeebhoy Rustomjee Patel, 510 tons, Captain, Eugune Laun, from Bremen
Passengers— Mrs. Laun, Messrs. Heuzenroder, Buttner, Swaine, Jacobsen, Ey, Scholer [sic]— Surgeon L. Callmann in the Cabin ........ We have today to announce the arrival of the Heerjeebhoy Rustomjee Patel, the long expected ship from Bremen, with 262 German immigrants, after a journey of 117 days from port to port.
Her passage has been a pleasant and prosperous one throughout, with the exception of Sunday last, when the weather was so rough and stormy that the ship was nearly thrown on her beam and even the sailors admit that they were in considerable danger for some hours.
The passengers she brings are of rather a superior class and comprise many trades much wanted here ; for example, there are several linen, cotton and cloth weavers who seriously contemplate following up their various vocations and speak confidently of being able to establish blanket, cloth linen and cotton manufactures ; there are also several miners, two chemists and a metalurgist besides the usual sprinkling of carpenters builders, shoemakers, tailors, &c.
We are not a little amused to see the extent to which the powers that be have succeeded in mystifying the intellects of our new colonial brethren, amongst whom will be found some of high mental endowments : thus we were seriously asked if a man durst smoke a cigar or a pipe in the streets of Adelaide ; if it would be permitted him to carry a gun ; if they dare go on shore without express permission of the authorities ; and other similar questions, with the assurance that they had been told, that all of these things (and many others of private and personal arrangement) would be subjects of official supervision. It is almost superfluous to add, that when informed that every man might do "as seemed fit in his own eyes" so long as he did not infringe upon the rights and privileges of his neighbours, they were pleased in the highest degree and almost imagined they had landed on the shores of the real Utopia. Many of them were so well pleased with the appearance of the place, that they said it was worth all the voyage to get a glimpse of so fine a country.
There were seven children were born on the passage, and eleven persons died, mainly old men and very young children.

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

additional information: The ship Heerjeebhoy Rustomjee Patel, ex- Virginia, was built at Alexandria, Virginia in 1842.
