ship Castle Eden, 930 tons, Captain W. May, from London 27th August, Southampton 11th September 1862, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 26th December 1862

The South Australian Register, Saturday 27 December 1862 p. 2

Friday 26th December:— Castle Eden, ship, 930 tons, W. May, master, from London, August 27, via Southampton, September 11. Philip Levi and Co. agents. Passengers— Mr. S.L. Crane, Surgeon Superintendent, in the cabin; and the following Government emigrants in the steerage:—

. . . . — 2nd ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1862 ; —1— birth and —5— deaths on the passage ; S. Leonard Crane, surgeon-superintendent.

In the Reports by the Emigration Officer, Dr. Duncan, there was often mention made in regard to Nominee's or General Emigrants ; the list below made a special effort to separate those into two lists, so, I have combined these but made notations alongside the family name, thus, General Emigrants = GE and Nominee = N. — Robert

Miscellaneous Shipping

The Castle Eden was signalled at daybreak, and was shortly after boarded and anchored by the pilot on duty. She is a fine looking vessel end on, having taunt [sic] masts and square yards ; but on her length becoming apparent, she is not prepossessing, though a vessel of great carrying capabilities. Captain May courteously furnished an account of vessels spoken and lists' of passengers and cargo, from which full particulars are given elsewhere, but no remarkable feature of the slightest importance beyond the ordinary routine of an immigrant vessel has occurred. Several friends of he immigrants visited the vessel yesterday from the Semaphore Jetty, and doubtless the number on board will be reduced considerably before she proceeds into harbour.
