Comment

My great grandfather Henry McQuillan with his family including my grandfather Henry McQuillan emigrated on this ship from Glasgow to Rockhampton in 1883. The Queensland Archives have passenger list details and medical reports on the ship's arrival. I am interested in any available diaries of passengers. Graham Jackson has written about the voyage in his Independent Australia 17 July 2012 article "Boat People Dreaming" as his great grandfather was on this ship
