*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 October 2008 is . . . o Fleets: o Westfal-Larsen & Co. A/S, Bergen, Norway 1905-2005 A Norwegian Fleet of 163 ships ... Fleet number 330 o Arrivals: o Ships to Quebec 1830 (in progress) The third page of 1830 arrivals is now complete and once again some more great newsy bits. eg. the "Death of George the Fourth and Accession of William the Fourth." and the July Revolution in France as well as discussion about two specific groups of emigrants .. those aboard the JANE from Belfast who suffered a drowning accident in Quebec while transferring to a steamboat and about the 280 aboard the TWO BROTHERS from Dublin, (who were from Kildare) and were mislead about monies being available to them upon landing, so were totally destitute in a new land. 1830 is turning out to have been a huge emigration year. Up to mid August, there were 22,500 and they still kept coming. To the same period in 1829 there had been about 11,500. o Passengers: o Emigrants for Canada, 1851 These 103 persons were Army Pensioners and their families living at the Tilbury Fort in Essex on census night (March 30th) and the notation for them was :: Emigrants waiting for embarkation for Canada :: so I hope we are able to learn which ship. What makes this find particularly special is because it helps fill another gap in the pre-archiving of passenger lists to Canada (1865). o ship Lord Raglan, from Plymouth to Port Adelaide 7th February 1856 o ship Navarino, from Southampton to Port Adelaide 21st February 1856 Two more ships with assisted passengers to South Australia for 1856. The LORD RAGLAN had ten deaths from fever. The Surgeon superintendent Robert Pridie became seriously ill too and may have died (but I'm not sure of that), so Dr. Drummond asked the Surgeon superintendent of the AUSTRALIA (arrived 22nd Jan), Dr. Henry Thomas Parke, to care for the sick . . he also died from fever. The emigrants were from all over UK and Ireland. The NAVARINO had a better voyage with only two deaths (dates unclear). They too came from all over rather than a particular area. Most of the singles were either with parents or other family. 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. 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 !
