Hello Jenny, The "Cesar Godeffroy" departed Hamburg 25th October 1861 and arrived in Moreton Bay 29th January 1862. According to the "Moreton Bay Courier" of the day: "Seven deaths occurred during the voyage, but six of these were infants. There were also two births. 203 of the immigrants were selected by Mr. Heussler in various parts of Germany, and are consigned to Messrs. Heussler and Francksen here, while the remainder are consigned to Messrs. Raff and Co., the agents for the vessel." The "Cesar Godeffroy" departed Moreton Bay 17th February 1862, bound for Valparaiso. After returning to Hamburg, it brought another load of immigrants to Moreton Bay, departing Hamburg December 1862. So any of its passengers who went to Rockhampton must have gone by coastal shipping. On the 1861/62 voyage were 223 PLAHN Carl Dammerow Preussen Schäfer 34 m 224 PLAHN Wilhelmine Dammerow Preussen 29 f There were also several other families from Dammerow on the "Cesar Godeffroy". There was a FEHLHABER family (9 persons) aboard the "Fritz Reuter" which went to Rockhampton, leaving Hamburg in 1877. They were recorded as being from Drosedow in Pommern. I hope that this helps Eric Kopittke > > From: "Dunroamin" <jenard@iinet.net.au> > Date: 9 February 2005 6:14:42 AM > To: AUS-GERMAN-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Immigrant ships & Passengers > > > Hello all > > Can anyone give me any details on the immigration ship Caeser Goddfrey > from Hamburg Germany to Rockhampton Australia in 1861-62.
