Miscellaneous Australia Passenger Arrivals 1845-1854

extracted from The Shipping Gazette and Sydney general trade list; from the digitised version of the Sydney Shipping Gazette found at the National Library of Australia website. These lists name each person or family group on board without distinguishing between cabin or steerage passengers. The lists below are just a sampling of what is available on the digitalized SSG, but I hope to add more in the future.

ship Bank of England, 726 tons, Captain Davison
from the Downs, 3rd July and Lizard 8th July 1852, arrived Sydney 8th October 1852

The Bank of England has had an excellent passage from the Lizard of 91 days. She brings no report of vessels spoken until after making the land, when she passed the Clarence, steamer, hence for Melbourne, on the 6th inst. off Bateman's Bay ; she brings a large number of passengers, who are unanimous in their approval of the arrangemets made for their comfort during the voyage. Unfortunately an accident occurred which marred the otherwise pleasant passage—on the 5th September, one of the passengers named Castor, fell overboard, but the ship going very fast through the water, it was impossible to save him ; on the following day, another of the passengers named Johnson, was missing, and in all probability he also met the same fate, as there was no trace of him after that date. The Marion, and Lydia, sailed on the 25th and the Kate on the 30th June. The Francis Walker, with Mrs. Chisholm's women, also sailed on the 3rd July, all for Sydney. The Bank of England has £52,000 in specie on board for the banks.
