*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 2010 is . . . o Pictures: o Prussian 1869, Allan Line Thanks to the generosity of one of our website visitors, we have the picture of PRUSSIAN, which he purchased from the Library and Archives Canada. It gave the opportunity to add to scanned photocopies pertaining to the Prussian, one a breakfast menu from 1875 ... how about some fried tripe and onions! o Arrivals: o Ships to Quebec 1832 (four pages) Finally finished 1832 Quebec newspapers and I am delighted with the result. The only disappointment is that the Quebec Gazette didn't name too many "cabin" passengers on the arriving vessels. I always enjoy finding those, because if you then find those same people on one of the steamboats, then there is a good chance that some of the steerage passengers arrived on the same vessel. The consolation was that I did find several passenger testimonials, "signed" by some of the passengers. There was a LOT of discussion about the cholera in 1832, I didn't include it all, but some, to give readers an idea of the scope. eg. the United States would not allow entry to the US from Canada, and sometimes it got a bit ugly. There was a lot of anger and finger pointing and the poor emigrants were caught in the middle. Also included are a few death notices to show how cholera didn't only affect the poor, but all walks of life. There is also discussion about the Emigrant Societies in Quebec and Montreal, and even how they repatriated emigrants who had lost a bread-winner, for example. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed transcribing it. o Passengers: o Quebec o John Molson - 7th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 11th June 1832 (reposting this list because the Scottish passengers are now identified as having arrived at Quebec aboard the brig Portaferry) o Chambly - 4th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 9th June 1832 ... more than 733 passengers o Chambly - 5th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 15th June 1832 ... more than 400 passengers o ... o South Australia o brig Caesar & Helene, from Hamburg, to Port Adelaide 21st September 1857 o barque August, from Hamburg, to Port Adelaide 9th December 1857 I reposted the 7th trip for JOHN MOLSON because the Scottish passengers on board have now been found in a newspaper testimonial as having arrived aboard the brig PORTAFERRY, from Greenock. Two more CHAMBLY lists, some maybe from Wales on the 4th trip, from the brig HENRY from Swansea, which was found in a sinking state (lat & long included) by the brig REDWING from Sunderland, who brought the passengers to Quebec. The 5th trip doesn't offer up any hints yet. (other than the list compiler seems to have relied on phonetic spelling quite a bit) These are the last two German lists to South Australia for 1857. Once again Robert has done a super job with these lists and has cross-checked the passengers from all the available information and databases. Still, we welcome any corrections or additional information from descendants, because sometimes the original documents can be dark or blurred, so hard to transcribe. 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).
