Germans to America 1850-1874
According to “Germans to America 1850-1874”, they traveled on a ship called “Donau”. The ship was also known as “Bark Donau”. The Donau was described as a bark in 1853. Later, it was described as a ship. It was built in 1853 in Altona, a port in the kingdom of Hannover (now part of Hamburg, Germany). The ship was built by Ernst Dreyer for Hamburg-Amerikanische Paketfahrt-Aktiengesellschaft (Hamburg American Line). The certificate of registry was dated June 22, 1853. The ship weighed 533 tons. It measured 139.6 x 31 x 19.6 (length x width x depth of hold) Hamburg feet (1 Hamburg foot = .28657 meters). She sailed almost exclusively on the Hamburg-New York route, although she also sailed to Charleston, SC, in 1858/ 59 and 1859/ 60, to London in 1861, to Hull in 1861 and 1862, and to Philadelphia in 1865. In 1866, she was sold, after having been damaged at sea, to Hall, of Boston, and sailed to Port Louis, Mauritius, as the DRESDEN.

The German Evangelical Lutheran church - In 1859, when the Protestant German population of Pittsfield was about 400, arrangements were made by a portion of them for devine service in their own language. These services were first held in private houses, and with occasional visits by clergymen from New York. But in April, 1859, Rev. Augustus Grotrain, a learned and able minister of Albany, accepted a call, and organized the German Evangelical Lutheran Church of Pittsfield. The town subsequently granted a pleasant site in the corner of First street burial-ground, where the church was erected, at a cost of $2,274.00 and which was dedicated September 14, 1865. There present pastor is Rev. John D. Hagar.
