*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 Commonwealth Line (Australia) o Atlantic Steam Navigation Company 1946-1971 o Zuid Hollandsche Scheepvaart Maatschappij 1917-1968 &c. Three more Fleets bringing our Fleets to over 30,000 ships. o Arrivals: o Ships to Quebec 1830 (completed ...4 pages) Have finally finished the 1830 papers. The last page contains interesting items such as that two of the ships, the brig MALAY from Tobermory, brought 50 settlers to Quebec, but had first stopped at Cape Breton, NS and disembarked 211 passengers there. Also, the brig CROWN, from Glasgow, doesn't mention any passengers for Quebec, but had left 209 passengers at Cape Breton. As usual, lots of interesting news items, with so very many settlers some even arriving as late in the season as October 31st !! Usually the latest you see settlers arriving, is mid September. btw. I'm beginning the 1830 steamboat lists, so hopefully we'll be able to see at least some of those tens of thousands of settlers. o Passengers: o barque Duchess of Northumberland, from Southampton to Port Adelaide 29th February 1856 o ship Amazon, from Plymouth to Port Adelaide 8th April 1856 o barque Violet, from Southampton to Port Adelaide 13th April 1856 o barque Aurora, from Southampton to Port Adelaide 22nd May 1856 Four more ships with assisted passengers to South Australia for 1856, we now have nine for that year. I'm noticing ships which are much more mixed than large regional groups of passengers which we've seen in the past. There are also a lot more single men than before, especially more than in 1855. 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 !
