Hi Mark, I don't know about Townsville, but in the Brisbane Courier on 23 May, 1914, it reports "Eighty-one Russian immigrants arrived in Brisbane last evening by the Steamer "Nikko Maru". http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article19938326 Have you looked at Aus National Archives for a Naturalisation? Cheers, Wynnette. -----Original Message----- From: aus-qld-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-qld-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mark Feodoroff Sent: Tuesday, 15 April 2014 10:42 AM To: AUS-QLD@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-QLD] Shipping Lists - Crew Hi All, My grandfather claimed to have arrived on the Nikko Maru that docked in Townsville on 20 May 1914. I have been over the passenger and crew lists, and there didn't appear to be any passengers on board (it was a cargo ship after all), and the crew section just states "As per articles". I'm not sure what "As per articles" means, but I'm presuming it's referencing another document of some sort. According to one document I found at the National Archives, there were 4 Russian crew on board when the ship arrived in Townsville. Does anyone know where I may be able to source the names of the crew, or even what "As per articles" mean?
