Passenger list and general information about the immigrant ship Prince George. This free space page is part of the Prussian Immigrant Ships to South Australia list.

Barque Prince George, 317 tons, Captain Frederick Bigger Chilcott, from Hamburg 8th July 1838, via Plymouth 23rd to 31st July, arrived at Holdfast Bay 18th November 1838 & Port Adelaide, South Australia two to three days later.

The Prince George was chartered to carry 'Old Lutherans' near Klemzig in the Prussian province of Brandenburg. (95% of the passengers emigrated from within 15km of Klemzig. One family of 8 emigrated from Tirschtiegel (Trzciel) 30km NNE of Klemzig in the province of Posen.)

Warning! Migrants who traveled to South Australia in steerage between 1836 and 1841 were not individually named in the ship manifest, only the small number of passengers who traveled in cabins. Different researchers have reconstructed passenger lists from newspaper reports and family histories. This page was created to compare and collate different lists of German passengers on board the 'Prince George' from Hamburg. Some errors are possible. Please feedback any suggestions or corrections to Steve Thomas.

Wonderful! I also noticed some Jantke's :) I have noticed that spelling variations from the ships list compared to the BDM records can differ. Did you have much trouble with that when researching the passengers? Advice would be good, when given names were often so similar, and the first given name was not usually the name they went by.
