Ship Cäcilia: Legend & Reality

Initial release 04/2019 111 pages.

In 2017 I started researching the Cäcilia sailboat thinking that maybe the Fey family aboard this ship could be one of my ancestors.

At the end of the research I confirmed that the Fey in Cäcilia were from a family other than mine and published an article reporting what I had discovered so far “The search for the Cäcilia ship” (click on the link to access the free article).

This month (04/2019) we will launch a book in print and e-book searchable, involving the legend of the ship “Cäcilia”, which was actually called Helena Maria, who brought immigrants to Brazil from Germany.

In this ship, a good part of the passengers were immigrants who came to the state of Rio Grande do Sul and a smaller part to the state of São Paulo.

In Rio Grande do Sul, immigrants settled mainly in the present municipalities of Dois Irmãos and São José do Hortêncio.

From a survey conducted in 2017, we have produced an article on the ship Cäcilia and now a book on it.

The book deals with details about the legend of “Cäcilia” and the proven reality of the journey in “Helena Maria”.

Basically the book informs the bibliographic research on the ship Cäcilia, the research carried out to prove its existence, the proof that the ship was actually called “Helena Maria”, a summary with details of the ship, place of departure and arrival, the date of departure and arrival, the passenger list, the place of origin in Germany and the place of establishment of immigrants in Brazil.

RESUMO

A história da emigração alemã para o Brasil é bastante abrangente e possui alguns aspectos ainda não totalmente esclarecidos, principalmente aqueles envolvendo as viagens transatlânticas entre a Alemanha e o Brasil. Nestas viagens marcadas em muitas das vezes, pela fatalidade, a documentação é muito incipiente. Ao pesquisar a origem das famílias Fey que vieram para o Rio Grande do Sul, verificou-se que a história de um dos navios envolvidos, o chamado navio Cäcilia continha relatos históricos que suscitavam dúvidas. Dentro deste contexto, desenvolveu-se a pesquisa bibliográfica envolvendo a viagem do navio citado. Ao longo da exposição deste trabalho pretende-se revelar alguns aspectos e dados da pesquisa, tendo como objetivo possibilitar que futuros pesquisadores possam prosseguir na resolução das dúvidas que ainda restaram sobre a história deste navio, que está enraizada na tradição do município de Dois Irmãos no Rio Grande do Sul, destino de boa parte dos passageiros que estavam no suposto navio chamado de Cäcilia.

PALAVRAS-CHAVE: imigração alemã, navios transatlânticos, navio Cäcilia, primeiro período imigratório da colonização alemã no Brasil, colônia alemã de São Leopoldo no estado do Rio Grande do Sul.
