[6] It is belived that Johanne Eleanore together with youngest daughter, Hermine Pauline (b 1847), arrived on the August in 1957. Their delayed departure can possibly be understood in terms of Hermine Pauline's age at the time of departure of the Hermann von Beckerath. Others of the Pohlner family (eldest daughter Auguste Wilhelmine and son Hermann Alexander), arrived in SA on the Vesta in 1856.
