Summary |
This extensive work continues the series pioneered by John Cumpston B.A., LL.B.D Litt., and progressed by Ian H. Nicholson, C.B.E., Graeme Broxam and R.T. Sexton for Sydney, Tasmania and South Australia. Separate lists of shipping movements have been compiled for Melbourne, Geelong, Portland, Port Fairy, Warrnambool, Cape Otway, Apollo Bay, Western Port, Waratah Bay/Andersons Inlet, Wilson's Promontory, Sealers Cove, Corner Inlet/Welshpool, Port Albert and Gabo Island, chronologically sequenced, with details of vessel, master, ports of origin and destination, major cargo and passenger numbers. Compiled from newspaper reports, Customs', pilot's and other government records and the records of other Colonial ports, the list documents the activity of vessels containing immigrants, passengers between colonies, and the trade in wool, timber, coal and sundry merchandise sought by the ever expanding and developing Colony of Victoria |
Notes |
"This book is dedicated to the seamen who supplied the physical link for trade and immigration in the development of the Colony" |
