The Malacca left Valparaiso, Chile on 8/1/1855 and arrived Port Adelaide 26/2/1855. There were 14 Chilian natives (muleteers), their wives and families on board. The Malacca then sailed from Pt Adelaide arriving at Port Wakefield 3/3/1855. The Chilians and the cargo of mules then travelled to the copper mines at Burra.
I have been unsuccessful in locating a passenger list and wonder if anyone can assist please.

Hi, I too am looking for that list. My grt grt grandfather was Jose Pizzaro, a muleteer traveling without family.
There are many Pizaros in SA still and in VIC. All wanting more info...

As was mentioned previously I doubt there was ever a passenger list. Read all the previous posts on the thread please.
I found a newspaper report was a little different to that quoted by the OP.
