In !862 Victoria and Vancouver Island were part of the British Colony of British Columbia. The two formerly separate colonies of Vancouver Island and New Caledonia were united in 1858 with the Capital in Victoria BC. You may find marriage, birth, death and other vital statistics at the Royal BC Museum site. I had a quick look and there doesn't appear to be any ship list there. All Canadian Ships List info for Canada, both pre and post confederation (1867) appear to be held at the National Archives of Canada in Ottawa. You may wish to go to that site. Good Luck. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robin Greenaway Sent: July 15, 2008 1:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TSL] 'CYCLONE' Sailed from Gravesend 8.5.1862 bound for VictoriaIsland BC Canada Good afternoon This is my first message to THESHIPLIST so I hope this is a reasonable question. I am trying to locate a passenger list for the sailing as in the title. I would appreciate any advice as to a possible source should it be available. The arrival date of the of the ship at Victoria, Vancouver Island would be a wonderful bonus if anyone could suggest a source for me to follow up.
