DUKE OF PORTLAND 1850 - NEEDLEWOMEN TO PT.PHILLIP
The ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS reported "Emigration has now become like a great and rapid stream which hurries along its course bringing a very miscellaneous assemblage of interests. The passengers (emigrants) were of very different ranks and degrees. Among them an unusual number of that class called 'respectable' in whose dress and general aspect on had to seek some other cause than pressing poverty for the long voyage, and the new and uncertain future on which they were venturing. Among these there were leave-takings; and on the part of friends returning on shore were tokens of sorrow.
The DUKE OF PORTLAND also brings the third instalment, to the number of sixty, of that female emigration so nobly planned and carried forward by the Hon. Mr Sidney Herbert. They were described by a Gravesend boatswain as "a parcel o'needlewomen" . These boarded on Monday afternoon, accompanied by Mr S Herbert and a few gentlemen interested in their welfare, and placed under the charge of sub-matron Amelia DYER. The spacious cabin in which the poor needlewomen were speedily assembled, mustered and arranged, presented a strange and interesting. The noble hearted and high-born promoter of the emigration plan, the clergy and others employed in superintending the arrangements, the emigrants themselves sitting in quiet order with their looks of cheerful hope, all combined to form a scene characteristic of our time.
Others among the emigrants were sent out in a like manner by means of funds charitably raised among a few individuals. We observed a clergyman taking leave of some of the poor of this great city, who owed their bettered prospects to his exertions. Others of the clergy were also bidding adieu to members of their flocks.
The DUKE OF PORTLAND is a very fine ship and she and here commander, Captain Cubitt, appear to understand making quick voyages. The spiritual interests of the emigrants, and of their children, will not be uncared for, as besides a good supply of books placed on board by Mr S. Herbert and those associated with him, the ship is provided with a 'religious instructor' accredited to his mission on the voyage by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts'.
The SA REGISTER (August 3rd 1850) reported: It was intended that the destination for the 63 young women was Port Phillip Bay. However, Mr Beham, the religious instructor under whose guardianship they were placed, has the power to facilite these 60 women being landed here, if sufficient favourable opportunities of employment can be obtained for them in Adelaide.
NOTE: Forty of these needlewomen found employment in Adelaide. The Mortlock Library at Adelaide has a list of these passengers and who employed them.
The remainder of these women travelled on to Port Phillip (two of whom left the ship without their luggage and "were seen no more").
