On 30th July, 1872, the S.S. Palmerston left Hamburg for NZ with 265 passengers consisting of Germans, Scandanavians and Poles.

Three of the Poles (and families) were my ancestors. Arrived at Port Chalmers (Otago) on 6th Dec, 1872.

All passengers and crew were held on board and then put on Quarantine Island, then transferred to Sandspit Island (crown lands at the Spit were proclaimed a quarantine station) until all signs of scarlet-fever and typhoid were eliminated. There were 42 cases of sickness, with 13 deaths during the voyage.
