They arrived on the ship named Westphalia.
See website for ship information:
http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_ship.asp?sh=westp

Ship Information:

WESTPHALIA 1868 / ATLANTICA 1887 / PROVINCIA DI SAO PAULO 1888 / MENTANA 1889 / SUD AMERICA 1891
The WESTPHALIA was built in 1868 by Caird & Co., Greenock for Hamburg America Line. She was a 3,158 gross ton ship, length 339.9ft x beam 40ft, one funnel, two masts, iron construction, single screw and a speed of 12 knots. There was accommodation for 90-1st, 130-2nd and 520-3rd class passengers. Launched on 24th Jun.1868, she sailed from Hamburg on her maiden voyage to Southampton and New York on 16th Sep.1868. She commenced her last voyage from Hamburg to Havre and New York on 28th Apr.1875 before being laid up. In 1878 she was rebuilt with two funnels and compound engines, and on 30th Jul.1879 she resumed the Hamburg - Havre - New York service. She started her last voyage to New York on 19th Dec.1886 and in 1887 was sold to the British company, H.F.Swan of Newcastle who re-engined her and renamed her ATLANTICA. In 1888 she went to Gazzo & Schiafino of Italy and was renamed PROVINCIA DI SAO PAULO. In 1889 she was resold to La Veloce of Italy and was renamed MENTANA and was further renamed SUD AMERICA later in 1891. She was finally scrapped in Genoa in 1901.

[I no longer believe this to be the father of Franz and Josef Zajicek. I now believe that I mistakenly showed his father as being on the same immigration ship as Wenzel. I now know that Wenzel arrived on August 16, 1881 on the Westphalia, and Josef arrived on March 11, 1881 on the Donau. They may still be related, but I still need to prove it.] This seems to be confirmed by the information listed in Vaclav's Obituary from 1896. It lists son Vaclav and Marie, Antonie and Marketa as children.

Address at place of death was 675 Groom Street, Chicago, Ill. (as per death certificate)

Vaclav married Anna Barbora HUMHALOVA on 16 Nov 1841 in Radnice, Bohemia. Anna (daughter of Jan HUMHAL and Anna FUXOVA) was born on 29 Aug 1822 in Radnice, Bohemia; was christened on 30 Aug 1822 in Radnice, Bohemia; died on 11 Apr 1901 in 632 West 18th Pl, Chicago, Cook County, IL; was buried on 12 Apr 1901 in Bohemian National Cemetery, Chicago, Cook County, IL.
