Wonderful site which I have just discovered. My relatives “the Sladden’s” arrived on the Buffalo & the Cygnet so will follow this site with great interest-just beginning the genealogy research on this side of the family so great to get some insight into their arduous journey to SA and their wonderful contribution to our present state. With Thanks for your great research

Hi,
A very good site, from what I have looked at so far.
I am a writer ( in Adelaide) and I am researching the Ship “Coromandel” which arrived shortly after the Buffalo and which gave it’s name to Coromandel Valley. There do not seem to be any Paintings or Drawings of this ship. I have an article about a model made by a deserting sailor, but the article is from 1933, Ihave not been able to trace where the model could be now.
My research 1820′s, but I also read that it was originally called the “Malabar” and was re-fitted and Re-named before sailing to SA in1837.
My Question is, do you have any more information about the “Coromandel” ?

I have found the site very informative. As a Maritime Artist residing in South Australia and have recreated migrant ships for many clients.

Hi Bernard, Thanks for your encouraging words! I have forwarded your inquiry onto one of our museums (South Australian Maritime Museum). In the meantime someone from our twitter community has suggested you visit the Pioneers Association website as it has some information on the Prince George http://www.pioneerssa.org.au/1838.html

I am researching the flight of the Lutherans from Silesia, Germany, to South Australia in June 1838 and have traced their escape from the Klemzig district down a series of rivers taking them to Hamburg where their little ship, the Prince George, awaited them, but I doubt that ship took them all the way to Australia. Could you please confirn that the Prince George crossed the Channel to Plymouth, from which it sailed for Australia, as many religious refugees had done before, including the Pilgrim Fathers in 1620. Any further information re the Prince George would be most appreciated. Congratulations to History SA and it’s wonderful web site.

Thank you.
