    1. SAILING SHIP - CAROLINE PRINCESS
    2. Bob & Lola McCredie
    3. High Listers, The CAROLINE PRINCESS arrived in Melbourne on 19 November 1858 carrying the 189 passengers which are presumed to be the survivors of the EASTERN CITY which caught fire and sank off the coast of South Africa between 23-26 August. The survivors had been landed at Table Bay, South Africa, where the Immigration Agent arranged the charter of the CP to bring the survivors on to Australia. I am trying to establish in which ship my G Grandparents sailed from England/Scotland. I am of the opinion that the majority of the passengers, arriving in Melbourne, were EC survivors. I was wondering if there are any descendents of EC/CP passengers/survivors out there who may be able to assist me with my research. Regards Bob Gold Coast
