Complete list

The following is a report from the Immigration commissioner on the "Reichstag": Sir,- Wellington, 17th August 1874.

We have the honor to report the arrival of the ship "Reichstag" from Hamburg on the 6th instant, with 280 adult immigrants. Only one death occurred during the voyage, viz. a child from dropsy. On inspecting the vessel, we found the single women located under the poop. They had plenty of room, light, and ventilation in their compartment, and the hospital and water-closet were exceedingly good. The married people had the use of the after and main hatches. The entrances were built up like deck houses, and were a very great improvement on the flimsy booby hatches in the British ships which bring immigrants to this port. The berthing arrangements, however were not so good as in the British ships, but the compartment was clean and sweet. The single men were comfortably located in the fore part of the ship. In fact, all the compartments were very comfortable, and this was to be attributed in a great measure to the unusual height of the 'tween-decks in a vessel of the tonnage of the "Reichstag". The immigrants are a very fine body of people, and contrast most favourably with recent shipments of our own countrymen. They all expressed themselves in the highest terms of praise of the surgeon-superintendent and captain, not only to us, but in an address which was published in the local papers. In conclusion, we have to recommend the payment of all gratuities, and have to congratulate Captain Hanschild and Dr. Waterhart upon bringing the "Reichstag" into port in such admirable order, and especially on the fact of their having a lower death rate, so far as we are aware, than any vessel which has yet arrived in the colony.
His Honour the Superintendent, Wellington.
The ship "Reichstag"
