I would like to know if anyone can help me with this ship Oaklands voyage around 1878 to Australia I am looking for Richard KEAST who may have been a passenger? Thankyou in anticipation Jill

Jill According to the London Times of Feb 16, 1877 the Oaklands arrived in London from Adelaide. March 3, 1877 there is an ad for her: AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND, CAPE, &c.-- HOULDER, BROTHERS, and Co.'s REGULAR LINE of CLIPPER PACKETS. Ship Port Loading Date Rossdhu Melbourne S.W. India Dock March 15 Clipper Ship Melbourne S.W. India Dock March 30 Benlomond Melbourne S.W. India Dock To follow Commonwealth Sydney S.W. India Dock March 11 Silver Eagle Sydney S.W.

Apply to Houlder, Brothers, and Co., 146, Leadenhall-street, Lon- don, or 4, Oriol-chambers, Water-street, Liverpool. Times of April 5, finally sets a sailing date of April 25, 1877 for her. On April 9, the date is changed to April 30. On May 3, the date has been changed to May 4. On May 10, 1877 the shipping news reports her departure: DEAL, May 9.--Oaklands, for Adelaide On May 27, 1878 an ad reports her sailing date to Adelaide as June 20. That is the last I see of her.

Hi Jill, I can't help with a passenger list (yet) for the 1878 voyage, but on TheShipsList we have a painting and a photograph of the ship as well as the list for the 1877 voyage from Plymouth to Adelaide, which was submitted by a website visitor. http://www.theshipslist.com/pictures/oaklands.htm I checked my records and find that the barque Oaklands did also sail from Plymouth to Adelaide in 1878 arriving 22nd September. Robert & I are only completing 1856 lists, so it will take a while to get to 1878.

Sue, Robert and Marj thankyou for your replies I looked at the pictures and they were great thankyou I think I may have to bus it to the big smoke and take a look in the Mortlock Library for this ships passenger list. Thankyou again? Do you know if the Maritime Museum in the Port has this passenger list transcribed?
