1751 Gale

Captain: Thomas Casson
From: Rotterdam 9 Jun 1751
Arrival: Halifax 8 or 19 Aug 1751

Left with 214 passengers. Arrived with 205 passengers. Only nine died during the voyage. 

The first list of Swiss was made 20 May 1751 and included names of some who probably never made the trip. The second list of Germans was made on 12 Jun 1751. The names on the reconstructed list have been rearranged according to their place of origin from the southwest to northeast.

It is not possible to identify all the people on the ship because often a family would take an older parent or step children who are not easy to identify in the available sources, however all those in each household were listed under "Freight". The first number represents the number of adult males, the second number adult females, the third number represents the half-freights (children between 4-14), the fourth number represents children under four who were free, the fifth number represents the number of freights that were owed for passage costs, and the fifth number represents the total number of people in the household. 

The place of origin was generally the state, province, or city-state, however in some cases a town was listed (or the town might have been a small duchy or independent town in 1753). The origins of these people have yet to be verified and this list will be updated as time permits.
