Kavel and his flock sailed from Hamburg on four ships: the Prince George and the Bengalee left in July 1838, arriving at Port Adelaide in November; the Zebra left in August and arrived in December, and the Catharina left in September, arriving in January 1839. As each ship arrived at Adelaide, the emigrants were dispersed to various settlements in the vicinity. However, they were anxious to make a life for themselves together in one place. After much negotiation, Kavel secured land in the Barossa Valley and, in 1842, the village of Langmeil was established.
