George Angas decided to personally provide funding to Kavel and the Klemzig group. Four ships were chartered on their behalf: , "Bengalee", "Zebra" and "Catharina". "Prince George" and "Bengalee" left Hamburg on 8 July 1838 with about 250 of the emigrants. They travelled to Plymouth, where they picked up Pastor Kavel, and then continued on their journey until they arrived in Port Adelaide on 20 November 1838. "Zebra" left in August 1838 with 187 on board and arrived in Holdfast Bay on 28 December. Eleven people, six adults and five children, died on the trip. "Catharina" left in September 1838 and arrived in January 1839. In all, this group of ships transported 596 migrants from Prussia to Australia.
