Sailing Ship 'Zebra'
Sailing ship 'Zebra'. She departed Altona, Hamburg on the 12th August, 1838, arriving at Port Misery, South Australia on the 28th December, 1838. Information taken from SA Memory website states that: 'The Zebra was a three masted ship, built in 1818 and weighing 350 tons, owned by J Dede of Altona, Germany. This artwork has been attributed to Jacob Boettger. He has paid attention to fine details of the vessel including sails, rigging and hull. The work was possibly painted from a model or from drawings of building plans of similar vessels, or perhaps the actual vessel as Boettger lived and worked in Altona. Painstaking measures have been employed to make finely detailed points including sails, rigging and ropes. The artist's interpretation of the work has a focus on the detail of the vessel itself and the sea lacks embellishment. Boettger made many maritime paintings usually depictig the vessels in profile and under full sail. Danish Captain Dirk Meinerts Hahn, as captain brought a group of almost 200 'Old Lutherans' to Adelaide aboard his ship the Zebra in 1838. In South Australia, Hahn assisted this group to obtain 150 acres of land near Mount Barker from William Hampden Dutton. In gratitude the people named the settlement after him - Hahndorf. The town was settled by Lutheran migrants largely from in and around a small village then named Kay in Prussia.'
