Passenger list of Solway, sailed 9 June 1837 from Hamburg


Ship Solway, 337 tons, Captain R. Pearson, from Hamburg 9th June 1837 with 52 migrants, arrived at Port Adelaide (after migrants disembarked at Kangaroo Island, South Australia 16th October, 1837) .

28 emigrants have been identified as being "Old Lutherans" (25 from Pomerania, 3 from Silesia). Other German migrants come from Hamburg (3) and Bavaria (2).

The Solway left Kingscote Dec 20th to moor in Rosetta Harbour, Encounter Bay. Severe gales caused the Solway to slip moorings and it was wrecked on Dec 21st 1837.

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 Solway. Some errors are possible. Please feedback any suggestions or corrections to Steve Thomas.
