Father Friedrich Wilhelm WILKE, b. 08 Jan 1836, Lunow, Barnim, Brandenburg, Germany d. 28 Nov 1914, Rangiora, Canterbury, New Zealand (Age 78 years) Mother Caroline Wilhelmine Ernestine GERNER, b. 14 Dec 1835, Lunow, Barnim, Brandenburg, Germany d. 21 Jan 1908, Rangiora, Canterbury, New Zealand (Age 72 years) Marriage 16 Jun 1861 Lunow, Barnim, Brandenburg, Germany [7] Notes Shipping
This fine iron ship, commanded by Captain E. Hopper, arrived, and anchored off the Heads, on Friday afternoon. On Saturday morning, the s.s. Gazelle, having on board the Health Officer (Dr Donald), Mr R. J. S. Harman (Deputy-Superintendent), Captain Gibson, Dr Rouse, and Mr J. E. March, Commissioners, Dr Haast, Mr Ruddenklau, and Mr Monson ? who went down as interpreters ? left the wharf, and proceeded down to the vessel, which was then underweigh some three miles outside the Heads, and, on going: alongside, the usual questions were asked, and, there having been no sickness on board, the vessel was at once declared clear. On going on board, everything was found to be scrupulously clean, and the accommodation for the passengers excellent. The immigrants are mostly Scandinavians and Poles, with about a dozen German families. They comprise 61 single women and 34 single men, the rest being married people and children. Six children were born on the passage; one child (11 months old), died on July 13. The peculiar feature in this ship is her spacious 'tween decks, which measure 8ft 6in from floor to beam. The sleeping accommodation is very roomy. The cubic space thus set apart has ensured proper ventilation, and made the health of the passengers remarkably good, and as we have said, no serious cases of illness have occurred. The ship was built by Messrs Stephens and Son of Glasgow, and belongs to Messrs B. M. Sloman and Co. of Hamburg, the well-known ship-owners there, who for half a century have almost exclusively shipped immigrants from that port to America, and lately to Queensland. They have a fleet of 18 ships specially built for immigration purposes, of these the Friedeburg is a worthy specimen. The passengers looked very healthy, and are in good spirits. Dr J. D. L. Temple is the Surgeon Superintendent, and it is owing to his care and excellent management that the immigrants have come out so well. The usual inspection was made by the commissioners, and also by the Deputy Superintendent, and with the exception of a slight complaint about the water during a portion of the voyage, but which was remedied, there was nothing to complain about. A distilling apparatus would be a great advantage to vessels of this class. As soon as the immigrants are landed the Friedeburg will sail for Java; thence to Hamburg, and will bring out more emigrants. The s.s. Gazelle took the ship in tow, and brought her up to on anchorage off the town. A large number of foreigners visited the ship yesterday.
THE FRIEDEBURG, FROM HAMBURG.
The following is Captain Hopper?s report of the voyage:- The Friedeburg sailed from Hamburg on May 21st; passed the Lizards on June the 1st; crossed the line on June 23rd, but was detained by calms at Fernando Norunha for three days; got the S.E. trades from the S. by E.; had to stay several times on the coast of Brazil until past the Abruhas Shoals; passed the longitude of the Cape on July 21st in 45deg. S.; passed the Crozettes on July 30th, and Tasmania August 19th; eastings were ran down in 48deg. to 50deg.; then had light variable winds to sighting the Snares on Aug. 26th; thence had variable winds, with rain and fog, until Aug. 30th; at 9.am. on that day Banks Peninsula was made, Godley Heads same day, and at 4 p.m. dropped anchor, making the passage from the Lizards in 90 days.
