*new* for TheShipsList website http://www.theshipslist.com/ All the new and updated files and databases have been placed on their own page(s) Find them on the front page in between the big arrows --------------> <--------------- At the bottom of each of these pages I have placed links named " previous month " and " next month " so you are able to navigate back and forth between the monthly *new & updated* pages, as I only keep three months of *new* page links on the Home page. New for November 2008 is . . . o Fleets: o King Line / Philipps & Company / Philipps, Philipps & Company Ltd 1899-1959 This Fleet was a cargo ship line. o Arrivals: o Ships to Quebec 1830 (completed ...4 pages) Just a reminder that the 1830 Quebec papers are completed. o Passengers: o SOUTH AUSTRALIA o ship Gomelza, from Southampton to Port Adelaide 10th June 1856 o ship Hooghly, from Plymouth to Port Adelaide 25th July 1856 o ship Eliza, from Southampton to Port Adelaide 20th August 1856 Three more ships with assisted passengers to South Australia for 1856. They are all great lists with lots of families but fewer single women. The British Parliamentary Papers for 1855 eg. published complaints about too many young women not able to find employment, which probably accounts for fewer of them being selected for the 1856 ships. The list compilers sometimes use ditto marks ( " or do. ) to indicate where people had resided. Robert and I have found that this was a careless practise, because some were definitely not from that place. For those, I have included their proper residence circa. 1851, in the "Remarks" column, for others just question marks, like the elusive Whiting family on the HOOGHLY and the Hosking family on the ship I'm now working on, so I'll repeat this message next time .... if you recognise any families / people, who are wrongly recorded, please let Robert or I know. ... also, If anyone is able to furnish corrections or additions (like maiden names) to any of the South Australia Lists, please write to Robert or myself. Also if you know that any family or individual did leave for Victoria after arrival at South Australia then we'd like to know that too, so it can be added as a note to the list. o Passengers: o QUEBEC o New Swiftsure - 1st trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 20th July 1830 o New Swiftsure - 2nd trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 27th July 1830 o New Swiftsure - 3rd trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 5th August 1830 o New Swiftsure - 4th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 9th August 1830 — mostly Scots, big families, lots of children o New Swiftsure - 5th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 22nd August 1830 o New Swiftsure - 6th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 1st September 1830 o New Swiftsure - 7th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 4th September 1830 o New Swiftsure - 8th trip up, ...no passengers o New Swiftsure - 9th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 18th September 1830 o New Swiftsure - 10th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 26th September 1830 — notation "Settlers in Distress." o New Swiftsure - 11th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 2nd October 1830 o New Swiftsure - 12th trip up, Three Rivers to Montreal, 10th October 1830 o New Swiftsure - 13th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 17th October 1830 o New Swiftsure - 14th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 24th October 1830 o New Swiftsure - 15th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 4th November 1830 These are the only 1830 steamboat lists we have up (to go with thw 1830 newspapers), but more are coming very soon. This was the last season for the NEW SWIFTSURE, as at the end of the season she was sold to Sir John Caldwell and was going to have her engines taken out, and placed in the sawmills at Becancour. The 9th August trip is great with obvious Scottish families, and some children being referred to as laddies and lasses (I so wish they had included the names). I think they probably arrived at Quebec in the brig Stirling Castle from Greenock. Another interesting group were on the September 26th trip. That list had the notation "Settlers in Distress." They were allowed to travel free, or for a reduced fare. I'm guessing they had arrived on the brig Atlantic, from Belfast. Please share this *new* for TheShipsList website email, with any other list to which you belong if you think it might be of interest or value to those list members (in other words, on-topic). Enjoy !
