Mariners and Ships in Australian Waters

There's many a story to tell . . .

Masters, crew, a stowaway or two; passengers, cabin, saloon and steerage; births at sea, deaths at sea; deserters; vessels with one crew and one passenger and those with 70 crew and hundreds of passengers; simple single sail boats, barques, brigs, large steam ships; whaling voyages, regular coastal passenger trips, voyages from other Australian ports, London, San Francisco, China and other exotic ports - you will find them all here.

I wish you well with your research and hope you find 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 for links to scans where available !

Every care possible has been taken with these records but, as usual, remember to check original sources of **everything** for yourself. And . . all puns found are intended !!
