This is a brief on the ship the 



Eugenie



The Hamburg Full Rigger was built in 1864/65 by the Reinhe-Stiegwerft in 

Hamburg for Rob M. Sloman in Hamburg

F2/69F CRT/WRT .4/W/D = 48, 70/8, 80M/4, 90M



The "Eugenie" was in the New York trade 1865/67 and afterwards for several

years in Australia and New Zealand. At the end of the 19th century, she,

served as a Tramp. IN 1896 she sold to Norwegian owners in Faudefjord. There

are no pictures of the "Euenie" in the Hamburg Museum.

Captain G.W. Koch was master of the "Eugenie" on the voyage to Australia

under taken by the Greinke family commencing on 16 June 1873 (304 souls 

aboard). He was a first calss Captain and kept a clean and tidy ship.

Unfortunately, because of the slowness of the voyage, the ship ran out of

supplies and ran low on water. During the last two weeks of the voyage,

the passengers had only ship biscuits to eat and water was rationed out

in small amounts to each person, after the children had their share.

Passengers on board became good friends and stayed together throughout 

their lives as some married into different families who were on board. 



This is the ship that Johann, Caroline, Albertine, Gustav and John 

Butenhoff sailed from Hamburg and arrived in New York on May 27, 1869.
