[TSL] *new* for TheShipsList website

                              *new* for TheShipsList website
                                 http://www.theshipslist.com/

All the new and updated files and databases have been placed on their own
page(s) Find them on the front page in between the big arrows
                                        -------------->      <---------------

At the bottom of each of these pages I have placed links named " previous
month " and " next month " so you are able to navigate back and forth
between the monthly *new & updated* pages, as I only keep three months of
*new* page links on the Home page.  New for May 2010 is  . . .

    o Passengers:
       o  John Molson - 4th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 25th May 1832 . . 
nearly 800 passengers
       o John Molson - 5th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 1st June 1832
       o ...
       o ship Grand Trianon, from Liverpool to Port Adelaide 23rd April 1860

Only three new passenger lists this week, but  l o t s  of passengers.  The 
JOHN MOLSON steamboat 4th trip with almost 800 passengers amd the 5th trip 
with about 320.  I really like this particular list compiler because you 
can mostly read his handwriting and he usually adds first name of the 
'head' of the group.  eg. The John Rowentree / Rowntree family on the 5th 
trip with tickets from the Canada Company has quite a bit written about him 
... he ran saw-mills in York (Toronto).  I'm sure many of the other 
family's have their stories too.
...
The GRAND TRIANON was the first emigrant vessel from UK to Adelaide for 
1860, with about 360 passengers ... quite a few Scots on this 
voyage.  There was two births aboard although we don't know who they were 
and there was only one death, an adult ... all in all a good trip.  As they 
neared their destination, they barely avoided going ashore at Holdfast 
Bay.  They were distracted by what they thought was the "Lightship" (used 
to guide them) but averted trouble when they realised they were in shallow 
water.  I found the reason mentioned later, in the newspaper.   Seems the 
lamp from the "St. Leonard's Inn" was the culprit, so the harbour master 
arranged for that lamp to be darkened on the south and west sides.

Please share this *new* for TheShipsList website email, with any other list
to which you belong if you think it might be of interest or value to those
list members (in other words, on-topic).

Enjoy
