The other was the family of Wilheim (Guillermo) Whilheim Geisse Haas, a Lawyer, his second wife and childrens. In all, the two families totaled approximately 20 persons.
In order to reach the chilean port of Corral, the "Victoria" had first to cross the Atlantic Ocean then follow all down the South America coast before enter the zone of the dangerous and infamous "Cabo de Hornos".
On the Pacific Ocean side , the vessel sailed northwards until she reached her final destination: a little port of Corral.
