Comment

My Great grandfather Charles Tolland was working as crew on this voyage- he left London and his family to start a new life in Australia. He arrived in Sydney but ended up in Perth West Australia. Sadly he died in 1905.

This voyage incredibly important to history of Western Australia as on this ship was sailing Governor Robinson and suite- bringing Responsible Government to Western Australia. See W.A. Record (Perth, WA : 1888 - 1922), Thursday 23 October 1890, page 7
