In the Shipping columns of the SMH there were
reports of things maritime, Clearances, Outwards,
weather forcasts, movement of coastal vessels,
cargo reports, etc.
Of special interest were the listings of passengers.
These lists are known not to include ALL Cabin
passengers, and rarely, if ever, were steerage
passengers listed.
There were times prospective passengers withdrew
and did not sail, there were those who came aboard
at the last minute, etc. I have NEVER found crew
mentioned, they like the Steerage passengers were
invisible, on occasions information elsewhere
in the SMH gave information on desertions, altercations,
wrecks, although not on a regular basis. Look
for the Water Police and Legal reports elsewhere
in the paper!
If you find a person listed here check the Mariners
and Ships in Australian Waters or you are
seeking a person on a particular vessel who does
not appear here.
These links are for both Inward passengers and
Outward passengers.
