Index for a sample of Items which can be found in the Shipping Gazette & Sydney General Trade List 1844-1855

www.nla.gov.au/ferg/issn/14403897.html

A wealth of fascinating information can be found in this excellent resource and I would hope to whet the appetite by including a sample of items which give an indication of the nature of information that can be found.

As the years roll by and the colony of NSW and those adjacent develop, so the nature of the news carried evolves, as does that from around the World, with the Maori Wars coming to a close at one end and the Crimean War tottering to a close at the other, with the de-stabilising influences of two major Gold Rushes in between.

With steam ships entering the scene and taking over communications between Australia and Great Britain, only for these vessels to be withdrawn for use in the Crimea, to be replaced by the newly arrived and much trumpeted clippers, which given the right conditions could complete the passage even quicker.

A time of new legislation being introduced as the World develops, but also a period when piracy was rampant along the coast of China and the natives of some of the South Sea Islands might keep a pot boiling for you!!

RoP = Report of Proceedings - eg as in a more detailed report by the Master of a vessel regarding a recently completed voyage etc.
