Would any kind person know about the ship Earl Russell which left London in 1864 for Queensland, Australia, with migrants? It arrived on 10 August 1864, and did not appear to make another voyage. Apparently there was a "crew disturbance" during this voyage. My Gr.grandfather Garrett Stack aged 22yrs was a passenger on this ship as was another man, Jarrett Stack aged 26. I wonder if they were related? Many thanks for any assistance. Barbara

Barbara From the London Times of March 18, 1864 comes this ad: FOR MORETON BAY, Queensland, under engage- ment to H.M. Emigration Commissioners ___ shipping day 10th April, the magnificent, fast-sailing ship EARL RUSSELL, A 1 at Lloyd's, 1,042 tons register; in the East India Docks. For terms of freight apply to John Lidgett and Sons, 9, Billiter-street. Then on May 2, 1864 comes this item: EMIGRATION FROM PLYMOUTH.--The Earl Russell, 1,042 tons, Captain Bolt, belonging to Messrs. John Lidgett and Sons, of London, arrived at Plymouth April 14, and sailed on the 23d for Queensland, with Government emi- grants, consisting of 26 married men, 38 married women, 150 single men, 82 single women, 60 children, and 9 in- fants, being 365 souls, equal to 326 statute adults. This ship was chartered by Her Majesty's Emigration Commis- sioners. Mr. Johnson is surgeon superintendent; Miss Chapman, matron; and Mr. Chapman, schoolmaster. The Earl Russell is fitted with Graveley's sen-water distill- ing and cooking apparatus, which not only makes suffi- cient fresh water for every soul on board, but performs all the cooking and bread baking, and acts as a powerful steam fire engine, lifts the anchor with great ease, works the ship's pumps, oeefs the topstails, takes in and out all the cargo, and, in short, performs most of the heavy work. The Art Union, another of Messrs. Lidgett's fleet, 748 tons, Captain Morison, is to em- bark Government emigrants here on the 9th for Adelaide. The Sussex, 959 tons, Captain R. Ridgers, belonging to Messrs. Money Wigram and Sons, of Blackwall, arrived on the 24th, and sailed on the 27th with passengers for Mel- bourne. Messrs. Green's ship, the Monarch, Captain Dea con, 1,282 tons, will call here on the 11th, to embark pas- sengers for Melbourne; and the Black Ball ship Young Australia, 766 tons, Captain Charles Gray, will call about the 12th to embark passengers for Queensland.
