Topic:  Migration Within Germany (and to and within South Australia)

A Case Study of a Voyage of Emigration from Germany to South Australia in 1876-1877

The Cesar Godeffroy left Hamburg in September 1876 and arrived in South Australia in January 1877 (just under 4 months at sea, leaving Europe in the fall and arriving in Adelaide just before midsummer). Passengers were from Bohemia, Germany, Switzerland and Hungary.  All were assisted passengers ticketed by Messrs B Amsberg & Co Adelaide, under an agreement with Mr Francis S Dutton and Joh. Cesar Godeffroy as Agent for South Australia.  Philip will explain the background to this voyage, the people and companies involved and what happened to some of the passengers on their arrival in the Colony of South Australia. 

Speaker: Philip Mann

Host:  Amy Chidester
