It is with great pleasure I acknowledge the generosity of these wonderful genies, Tamea (N.S.W.), Sharon (S.A.), who joined me to transcribe these records, Gloria, Lyn and Maurie (Q'ld) for transcribing and painstakingly proofing them and Lyn and Maurie for gathering, from other sources, missing information, and helping to make searching the vessels our rels travelled or worked on available for Genies everywhere. Their time, patience and skills have made this possible.
I wish you well with your research and hope you find the way to at least one of your 'missing' among these pages. Hopefully these pages will prove to be a regular port of call for you and I look forward to hearing from you. Don't forget to check Mariners and ships in Australian Waters for the lists of Passengers and Crew which this index makes more available.
Every care possible has been taken with these records but, as usual, remember to check original sources of **everything** for yourself.
