ship Marion, 919 tons, Captain George Kissock, from London March 1851 / Plymouth 24th March 1851, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 29th July 1851.

The Sydney Shipping Gazette (SSG) of August 23 reports:—

Loss of the Emigrant ship Marion

(From the Adelaide Times, August 2):
It was our painful duty yesterday to announce the loss of the emigrant ship Marion, Captain Kissock, on Troubridge Shoal, on Tuesday last, and we now proceed to a detail of the circumstances attending this melancholy catastrophe, as far as they have reached us.
The Marion is a new vessel of 919 tons register, built last year in Quebec [by Charles Jobin], and was now on her way from London and Plymouth to Port Adelaide, with 350 emigrants, and a general cargo, to the consignment of the highly respected firm of Messrs. C. and F.J. Beck and Co., of this city, the present being the Marion's first trip. She left Plymouth on the 24th of March, a few hours after the King William and the City of Manchester, both now lying in this port, and she experienced a succession of stormy weather, never once on her passage out getting into the trade winds. There were six deaths on board, and nine births. The deaths were, one adult, four children under fourteen years of age and an infant. From the births there is to be deducted also one infant child, which died shortly after being brought on shore on Thursday morning.
The Marion struck on Troubridge Shoal on Tuesday evening about ten minutes before eight o'clock. The weather was moderate, but very hazy, and there was a man at the time in the chains sounding, his last call being five fathoms. The ship struck gently on the shoal, and, on the water receding, she was left high and dry, in an upright position, her stern being much lower than her head, and her lower hold almost immediately filling with water.
The Marion had no sooner struck, than Captain Kissock, with the greatest promptitude and self-possession, ordered the boats to be lowered, and got as many of his unfortunate passengers as they would hold, in them, intending, if possible, with the aid of a considerable portion of his crew, to have them landed on the neighbouring coast. One of the boats, it seems, succeeded in reaching Yorke's Peninsula, but the other, after knocking about for twelve hours, returned to the vessel, not being able to find a landing place, the surf being too high. Eventually, however, about 180 of them were safely landed on Wednesday afternoon at Cape Jervis, whence the majority of them have since made their way to town. Fortunately, too, the little schooner, Maid of the Mill, went to the wreck about four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, and took out the greater part of the luggage, and brought it up to Port Adelaide, with about 150 of the poor emigrants, arriving alongside the Company's wharf about eight o'clock, on Thursday morning.
The Government schooner left the port at daylight yesterday morning, with Captain Lipson, the harbour-master, on board, and being towed out by the steamer. By this vessel the remainder of the unfortunate people will, it is hoped, be brought up. Meanwhile, those already on shore at Port Adelaide are being duly cared for by Captain Butler, the Immigration Agent, and Captain Hall, who, as Captain Kissock's port agent, has interested himself very much on behalf of the sufferers. To Mr. Charles Calton, it is due to say, that his house, the Port Railway Hotel, has been thrown open to about fifty of them, and that he has made as much of them, as though their pockets were well lined with cash. Nothing, in fact, we believe is wanting, either in the way of sympathy, or substantial assistance, towards mitigating the sufferings of those poor distressed creatures, and we are not without hope of their soon being provided, in some way or other, with permanent remunerative employment.
Captain Kissock arrived at the Port yesterday morning, and complains, that the charts of this coast are not properly laid out, the reef on which his vessel struck not being named in them. He complains, too, and not without reason, of the absence of a light in so dangerous a locality, and where the current, is so strong, and so likely to mislead. It is, in fact, a disgrace to the Government that something of this kind has not been attempted before this, and we would suggest the propriety of a Light Ship being place there forthwith, until a Light House can be erected.
Five per cent. upon the losses of the last two or three years on that shoal, from the want of a Light House, would more than have covered the cost of its erection. But the New Council meets shortly, and something definite will, we hope, then be done. — 6th ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1851 ; Joseph Sanger, surgeon-superintendent ; nine births and six deaths on the passage
