note: TheShipsList website is quite slow-loading today for some reason .....!! *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 July 2006 is . . . o Arrivals: o Ship Arrivals at the Port of Saint John, July 1847 (updated) We have been neglecting our 1847 Project a bit, so here is July 1847, New Brunswick, with some additions. We still have to add August, September and October. o Passengers: o Lists from Sydney to San Francisco 1849-1851 (updated) o St. Lawrence Steamboat Co. Passenger Records Pt. 1 - 1819-1825: o Quebec - 11th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 4th July 1824 o Quebec - 12th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 10th July 1824 o Quebec - 13th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 18th July 1824 o Quebec - 14th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 24th July 1824 o Quebec - 15th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 1st August 1824 I've added several 1850 lists from Sydney, Australia, to San Franciso. I suspect that many were headed to the goldfields. Whether they were born or had lived in Australia for some time is not known . . . maybe some had recently gotten off a ship from England and were headed to California to make their fortune ?? I wonder whether they headed back to Australian goldfields a year + later ?? Five more lists for steamboat Quebec for 1824. Once again some interesting lists, especially August 1st 1824, as I found this group of fourteen . . . 82-83 R. Owen & W. Aldgate x x 2/-/- 84-93 John Tate & wife & eight children, seven above 12 & one child under 12 years x x 4/15/- 94-95 John & Emma Haworth x x 1/-/- . . . whose fare and victualing was payable by Irvine, McNaught & Co., Quebec. They must have arrived at Quebec aboard the schooner Gleadon, from Hull, as Irvine and Co. were the Agents, with coincidently 14 passengers had arrived on July 30th. We have had other instances where the ships' Agents were Irvine, McNaught & Co. and they had also paid the steamboat fare for their passengers. (a prime example being from 1819, with the . . Aug 22 Ship Harmony Henry Mossop 58 days Oban, Scotland 253 settlers (to) Irvine, McNaught & Co. in ballast and the Aug 22 Bark Hope Ninian Warden 58 days Oban, Scotland 164 settlers (to) Irvine, McNaught & Co. in ballast were aboard the steamboat New Swiftsure on August 26th 1819). I sure wish other Agents had also done this. Of the settlers arriving at Quebec then taking the steamboats to Montreal (not just 1824), many stayed in Canada, but many also continued to the US, some right away and others migrating at a later date. 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 !
