1880s - In this decade, the decade of heaviest German immigration, nearly 1.5 million Germans left their country to settle in the United States; about 250,000, the greatest number ever, arrived in 1882.
The quote above is from this website. It seems that large numbers of Germans went to America from 1600 onwards.

No connection, just one of those tangents that some of us head off on at times. I was looking at the crews for ships in port in Grimsby 1881 to try to help answer a GR question and I spotted the entry for this ship.
I was fascinated to know where all these passengers were heading for. I assumed the US but I've not looked yet to see if I can find them in England in 1891. What puzzles me just as much is that there is not one single crewmember shown as being onboard.
I think I've found a ship called Lincoln heading to South Australia in 1865 so maybe this was the same ship as in 1881. I wondered if they were sailing from Germany and just happened to be in port on Census night.
I would love to know where these people were emigrating to.
