    1. Re: [AUS-IMM-SHIPS] Skaubryn arrival dates, please
    2. Lois Carrington
    3. Denise, Skaubryn departed Bremerhaven 23.5.1951, on her maiden voyage, discharging her migrants 25 June at Mebourne. She returned empty to Bremerhafen, and most future voyages terminated at Sydney. Most of her voyages were to bring migrants to Australia. On the voyage beginning 14.3.1958, a fire broke out while she was crossing the Indian Ocean. Passengers were transferred to other vessels - despite strong efforts, she sank on 6 April. see Peter Plowman: Emigrant ships to luxury liners, pp.146-147 for two photos of Skaubryn and more details of her "career". There are passing rferences to Skaubryn in my own book on adult migrant education. I do not hold arrival data, but you could obtain it from National Archives of Australia, in Canberra, who hold the passenger lists.
