Hi Gwen, according to Find My Past Alice Hopkins age 21 yrs left London 22nd Sept 1900 on "Jumna" and it travelled to Brisbane. Would you like the image for your records? The State Archives at Runcorn would be the place to ask for details of her travel to Cooktown. http://www.archives.qld.gov.au/ You could put the question to them by email. best wishes Ann in Brisbane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gwen Burrows" <gbu07272@bigpond.net.au> To: <aus-immigration-ships@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 9:35 AM Subject: Re: [AUS-IMM-SHIPS] GUILDFORD 1824 > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Lynne Radford" <lynne_r@tpg.com.au> > To: <aus-immigration-ships@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 11:58 PM > Subject: Re: [AUS-IMM-SHIPS] GUILDFORD 1824 > > > Lynn, You seem to have incredible knowledge of shipping, so I'm wondering > if > you can point me in the right direction.

She was a single funnelled, two masted, brigantine rigged vessel with a single screw and a speed of 12 knots. She had berths for 49-1st class passengers as well as a considerable number of steerage class. She commenced her maiden voyage on 21/9/1886 when she sailed from London via Suez to Batavia and Brisbane and made her last sailing on 24/10/1902. The company was wound up in 1903 and ownership of the "Jumna" passed to British India Steam Navigation Co.Ltd. I have no record of her career after this time but she was broken up in 1907. [North Star to Southern Cross by John M.Maber] [Posted to The ShipsList by Ted Finch - 6 December 1997 I would assume that Alice, would have travelled via another ship to New Zealand, from Queensland.

.... .. ..Lynne, thank you so much for that information. I will follow up the New Zealand link, but I don't recall any mention of Alice going to NZ. But these mystries need to be unravelled don't they? Gwen
