Below you will find a series of passenger lists for ships that left Hamburg during the second half of the 19th Century to bring Germans to South Africa. The first 6 ships in the list brought most of their passengers to Kaffraria, as part of the settlement plan for this small colony. But already some of these passengers disembarked in Cape Town and settled in the surrounding areas (e.g. in Philippi). Most of the later ships sailed directly for Cape Town, but some continued their voyages to Port Elizabeth, East London or Natal.
