PRINCESS LOUISE / PRINZESSIN LUISE 1849

from Hamburg 26 - 03 1849 via Rio de Janeiro with Captain Bohr,
arrived Port Adelaide on 7-08-1849

The story of the Princess Louise began in Berlin in the late 1840s, during a period of revolution. At that time, Europe, spurrred by the earlier French Revolution, was facing a period of change, revolt, and uprising. In Berlin, in 1848, Richard Schomburgk, a gardener who had established a reputation as a botantist, and his physician brother, Otto, saw that there was little hope of their dream of democracy being achieved and, by 1849, a period of repression began. ... The brothers formed a migration group, calling it the Berlin Emigration Society (other references say: South Australian Colonisation Society), and made plans to leave the Fatherland for a new start in Australia. ...
So, in March, 1849, the Society chartered the PRINCESS LOUISE and set sail for Adelaide with a new wave of refugees, arriving in Port Adelaide on 7 August 1849. The Society was largely comprised of professional men, businessmen and skilled artisans, and has been called "the single most important group of German intellectuals to come to Adelaide".


The Advertiser (December 2nd, 1989): "She was a ship of destiny. Her passengers would leave an indelible imprint on our State, its culture and its heritage. Yet, when the Princess Louise sailed from Hamburg, in the spring of 1849, bound for South Australia, her cabins crammed with 162 men, women and children, few could guess at the extraordinary impact the passengers would have on the new colony. ..."
