Hi .. A few sites I found ....

http://www.genealogienetz.de/reg/BRE/index_e.htm
Passengerlists:
The passengerlists of emigration - ships from Bremen / Bremerhaven until
1919 are nearly all destroyed.
Passengerlists from 1920 - 1939 are archived in the Bremen Chamber of
Commerce.
A group of Maus members is copying the passenger lists into a database,
which is published on the Internet at:
Via Bremen to Everywhere
The same URL brings you to emigration records of citizens of Bremen,
starting in 1552.
More migration resources out of the State Archive are gradually being copied
into the above database.

EMILIE
A.Richaud; 1875; Charland; 729 tons; 163-2x32-8x19-1.
The wooden barque Emilie, Capt. G. L. Small, was formerly the Arabella. On
March 26th, 1890, she sailed from Bluff, South Island, New Zealand, for Port
Pirie, South Australia, with a cargo of sawn timber. On the following day
she encountered a hurricane and started a leak. She became waterlogged and
did not answer to her helm. Under these circumstances the captain gave
orders to abandon ship, and one boat containing nine men was in the act of
putting off when it was struck by a falling mast and smashed. Only one of
its occupants regained the ship which had now rolled over on to her side.
All her masts had gone and, after some lapse of time she righted herself and
continued to drift for five days, eventually going ashore at Red Head,
Stewart Island, on March 31st. Four survivors, including the mate who was
fatally injured, managed to reach shore where they remained for seven days,
subsisting on shellfish and a dead seal. They were found by a party of
mutton-birders and taken on board the tugAwarua, which landed them at Bluff
on April 14th. The mate, John Brownrigg, died in hospital shortly
afterwards:

Regards, L. Ross

What does Bremen 41 ds. mean in the arrival report?

Most arrival reports indicated the length of the crossing, either, as
in this case in days (41 ds. means 41 days) or by giving the date of
departure. 41 days was a quick passage from Bremen by sailing ship.
Sometimes to make the crossing look shorter they would start the
time from a landmark, such as Lizard, England or Cape Clear, Ireland.
