The main sea ports today are Saint John NB and Halifax NS but in the 1800's sailing vessels could easily call at Charlottetown on PEI and other harbours. Halifax and Saint John had Quarantine Centers for passengers arriving from overseas starting in 1830 so I do not think those arriving from overseas would have been able to come ashore except in through the Port of Halifax NS and Lawlor's Island Quarantine Station and Port of Saint John NB and Partridge Island Quarantine station at this time. I am not aware of such facility in PEI. regards Garth At 04:48 PM 10/27/2008, you wrote: >for those coming in from Scotland and wound up in PEI, what port would >they have come thru? around 1830 - 1840s > >cindy > >On Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 4:29 PM, Olive Tree Genealogy <[email protected]>wrote: > > > Hi everyone, > > > > Just wanted to share this exciting news with everyone: > > > > Incoming UK Ships Passenger lists are now online! > > Genealogists can now search for ancestors on UK Incoming > > Ships Passenger Lists, 1878-1960 > > > > These new passenger lists include OUTBOUND lists from > > Canada and America as well as other countries such as > > Australia, all heading for ports in the United Kingdom. > > > > Read more about this terrific new resource at > > http://olivetreegenealogy.blogspot.com/ > > > > Neither Canada or America maintained "outbound" passenger > > lists.
