My name is Ewald Fahrensohn, I was a passenger on CASTLE FELICE, arriving in Melbourne, July 12th 1960. I spent 2 years in Australia where I worked in port kembla`s BHP Steel Mills. After that I Sailed on SOUTHERN CROSS to Southampton, from where I went back to my native GERMANY. Things didn't appeal to me in Europe at that time and I went to Marsailles, sailed on a Messageries Maritimes Ship TAHITIEN which was bound for Sydney Aust. After travelling for a while, I finally settled in New Zealand. Been here ever since. Ewald FahrensohnTranscriber's Notes:

It is believed that this transcription only lists those who disembarked in Fremantle,
since the ship carried hundreds more passengers.
The source was most likely the records in the National Archives of Australia's Perth collection.
