Hello List, I would like to thank, Susie, Sally, Patrick, Linda and Graham for their replies for my call for help with the ship's name. When I checked the name again on the certifcate after all your suggestions, I thought it looked like "INDIAN OCEAN", BUT to make sure I took it to a Optician, who kindly checked it for me as he had stronger magnifying glass than me, and it was the "INDIAN OCEAN", it stated on death certificate he had been here 7 years, so that made him landing in 1854. Thank you all so much, your help was greatly appreciated. Regards Pat Sharp. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susie Zada" <szada@zades.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 26, 2004 7:45 AM Subject: Re: [GEELONG] Re:- Help with Ship Name > Hi Pat, > > Could it be "Indian Ocean", arrived Portland Oct 7, 1854 from Liverpool with > 420 immigrants? > > There is also reference to the "Duke of Wellington", arrived Portland Oct 4, > 1854 from Adelaide with emigrants from "Indian Ocean" - it was then > travelling on to Port Fairy. > > All above from "Shipping Arrivals and Departures Victorian Ports" by Marten > A Syme. > > Regards .........
