See important note below about steerage passengers payment of passage!
Rosina's ship (she is not mentioned, but as a single woman then, her name would be different - this is definitely her ship): "Barque Victoria, 390 tons, Captain J.H.O. Meyer, from Hamburg, Germany 15th June 1848, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 6th November 1848. In "South Australian Register"7th Nov 1848: Passengers: steerage.— 9 carpenters ; 6 clerks ; 35 agriculturalists ; 4 shoemakers ; 2 shepherds ; 2 cabinetmakers ; 2 mechanics ; 2 smiths ; 2 tailors ; 1 house servant ; 1 turner ; 1 schoolmaster ; 1 organist ; 1 millwright ; 1 tanner ; 1 baker ; 1 vintner ; 1 jeweller ; 1 druggist ; 1 upholterer ; 1 pastor ; 1 weaver ; 1 saddler ; 1 missionary ; 1 soap boiler ; 56 females ; 71 [children]. The following note was on the bottom last page of one part of the passenger list: Some of the steerage parties are under engagement to Mrs. Godfrey Mon to furnish working hands to redeem the arrears of passage moneys. It would materially promote the interest of the colony, if these parties can be received by landowners, and their wages be retained to the amount of 10/- per week for each working hand, for account of the ship owners till the said arrears be paid. As Mr. Stackmann has declined the business of collecting the said arrears as it takes to much of his time, I am very much at a loss, how to dispose of them-and request Mr. M. Laren to propose to Mr Giles, to step into the contracts, which Capt. Myer will endorse to him, whereby not only the parties themselves will be located on the lands of the South Australian Co. but also, those who will follow with means, and all will become valuable tenants being a religious and hard working people. The "Victoria" touching at Rio, the present notice will be in time to make arrangments for the reception of the passengers, and in hope that some of the gentlemen of the board will also kindly entertain this application for their private lands, and afford me the opportunity of disposing of the contract in question.
