Melbourne Daily News, March 7th 1849:— The Wappans [sic] from Hamburgh, arrived yesterday evening, with 181 souls on board, among whom are two Roman Catholic missionaries. During the passage she was obliged to put into Bahia, in the Brazils, for a supply of water, in which port she remained thirteen days ; she spoke the Louisa [sic] to the north of Madeira, from Hamburgh, for Adelaide, with emigrants. The Dockenhusen [sic] was to sail from Hamburgh on the 4th November [1848], with German emigrants for this port. The Whappans [sic] after leaving all her emigrants here who choose to remain, will proceed on to Adelaide.

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).
