    3. Hello listers, My ggfather, born in 1853, passed the Cape Horn at least three times, twice on the Schaldis once on the Don Juan. The Schaldis left Antwerp November 27th, 1865 for Cardiff and then Callao where she arrived June 17th, 1866. She left Callao September 22nd, 1866 for Antwerp. On a consecutive voyage she arrived Callao April 4th, 1868, then Islas Chinchas from which she departed June 4th, 1868 for arriving Antwerp October 18th, 1868. The Don Juan left Antwerp July 22nd 1871 for Cardiff and then Payta; she was back in Antwerp December, 24th 1872. Is there any list of the vessels which passed the Cape Horn at that time where I could find the dates of passage ? Many thanks to all and Best regards Jacques Damster
