Found her ship on Trove - The Brisbane Courier 18 December 1863 reports: The German barque San Francisco, 404 tons left Hamburg on the 9th of August last, and proceeded to sea....under the command of Captain Nicholas Stortenbecker. She has on board about 264 German immigrants, the larger number of whom have been brought out under the auspices of the German immigration agency...There are among them about 60 or 70 single men, and a large number are skilled mechanics. The average amount of sickness was prevalent during the passage, and the diseases were of the usual type, chiefly catarrhal affections. There were also cases of gastric fever, hydrocephalus, and diarrhoea. In all there were eleven deaths, all infants, from these diseases... There were during the passage five births, three were males, and two females. At the time of the Health Officer's visit on Friday November 27th, the only cases of illness were three persons who were suffering from debility, and therefore he passed the vessel. Arrangements were made to land the passengers...and they were brought up to town...on the 30th November.
