 Diary by John Channing |
Transcripts of Letters by George and Mary Vickery of the voyage to South Australia on board the BUCKINGHAMSHIRE in 1839.|
Background information We understand the BUCKINGHAMSHIRE only made one visit to Adelaide, but brought the largest single contingent of passengers with her on that visit in 1839. This was probably the largest sailing ship to enter Port Adelaide in the days of sailing ships. She would have been a beautiful sight sailing up the Port River to the wharf. She arrived in Port Adelaide on March 22 1839 with 512 passengers on board. Of these, 443 were migrants being sent out by the Commissioners under the care of General Superintendent Nathanel Hailes for the colonisation of South Australia. There were around 42 cabin passengers, 15 in steerage and 443 bounty emigrants, including 180 children. The following passenger list was from the Register, March 30th 1839, page 6 Col D, and information supplied by the South Australian Archives. The list in the paper does not appear to be complete. NOTE: The names of the crew are listed below the passengers. |
