*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 June 2006 is . . . o Fleets new: o Howard Smith Ltd., Melbourne o Oldenburg Portuguese Line / Oldenburg Portugiesische Dampschiffs Rhederei And now for something completely different ! This time we have two "Coastal" rather than Transatlantic or Transpacific Fleets. Howard Smith operated east coast Australia and Oldenburg operates between North European ports and Portugal, Spain, Morocco &c. o Passengers: o New Swiftsure - 19th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 3rd September 1824 o New Swiftsure - 20th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 10th September 1824 o New Swiftsure - 21st trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 17th September 1824 o New Swiftsure - 22nd trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 24th September 1824 o New Swiftsure - 23rd trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 1st October 1824 o New Swiftsure - 24th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 8th October 1824 o New Swiftsure - 25th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 15th October 1824 o New Swiftsure - 26th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 22nd October 1824 o New Swiftsure - 27th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 29th October 1824 o New Swiftsure - 28th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 5th November 1824 o New Swiftsure - 29th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 17th November 1824 o Quebec - 1st trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 24th April 1824 o Quebec - 2nd trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 1st May 1824 o Quebec - 3rd trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 8th May 1824 o Quebec - 4th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 16th May 1824 o Quebec - 5th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 22nd May 1824 o Quebec - 6th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 29th May 1824 The last eleven lists for steamboat New Swiftsure in 1824 and the first six lists for steamboat Quebec for 1824. The compiler of the Quebec lists has a pretty decent "hand" and seems to spell rather well, even giving full names for some eg. Antoine Toutpainsay Lafleur . . I hope they remain consistant for the balance of the year. In 1824 the "settlers" were just starting to arrive in late May, early June. http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/Arrivals/1824a.htm 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).
