Return to SA Passenger Lists,1847-1886

ship Navarino, 493 tons, Captain Robert William Morgan, from Plymouth 8th April 1857, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 16th July 1857

. . . — 8th ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1857 ; —1— birth and —2— deaths on the passage ; Arthur Peter Goullet, surgeon-superintendent.

The South Australian Register Friday July 17 1857 - Miscellaneous section of the shipping intelligence
     The ship Navarino signaled her approach by the discharge of three guns at 7 A.M. yesterday, the 16th instant but in the consequence of a dense fog overhanging the gulf, she was not sighted until near noon then standing to the south making for the lightship anchorage, having owing to the thickness of the weather, overshot that beacon.
     On being boarded by the shipping reporter, she was discovered to be manned by the emigrants, owing to a serious mutiny which had taken place amongst the crew, seven of which were in irons. Three of the ringleaders named Thomas, alias J. Henderson, John Harre and David Strathon, had behaved in a disorderly manner to the Surgeon-Superintendent and the officers of the ship, and towards the single women.
     The original cause of the disturbance was the ill conduct of these three men towards the female emigrants. The doctor found it necessary to complain to the captain ; but the fellows replied with abusive threats, declaring they would take the lives of both the captain and the surgeon, and otherwise acted in a menacing manner.
     On July 9th the sailors were a second time discovered between the decks at 6 P.M. by one of the constables, and on the captain and surgeon going below and requesting them to go on deck they refused, using all the time most threatening language.
     Captain Morgan then collared one and forced him on deck. Here the whole of the starboard watch obstructed his passage aft; but aided by the officers, he made his way through them. They followed him to the quarter-deck, challenging the captain to fight, and threatening to knock his brains out, and appeared so excited that he at once deemed it necessary to call upon the emigrants to aid in working the ship.
     The emigrants unanimously volunteered to do all in their power, and 24 single men were appointed to the two watches, 12 in each. On July 11th the starboard watch having shown a disposition to be again mutinous, and it ascertained that they intended to attach the emigrants who assisted in working the ship, the volunteer sailors were recommended to arm themselves. This step had the effect of preventing the attack.
     On the evening of that day the ringleaders, finding further attempts to cause a disturbance was effectually guarded against, gave themselves up and were placed in irons. They were given into the custody of the police immediately on their arrival.
     The Navarino reports having experienced on June 29th a severe hurricane, during which the lifeboats were stove in and wooden davits smashed.
 
from the South Australian Government Gazette, 1857 page 797
The Navarino arrived from Plymouth on the 16th of July with 220 immigrants. She was commanded by Mr. Robert William Morgan, ands Mr. Arthur Goullett was the Surgeon-Superintendent.
The cleanliness, good order, and general comfort of the people reflected great credit on the surgeon-superintendent, and the master and officers of the ship.
Two deaths and one birth took place at sea.
Great disturbances among the crew occurred during the voyage. It seemed as if a certain number of these men had engaged on board this ship in order that by combining action they might set naught all control, and hold forced communication with the immigrants. This attempt was successfully resisted ; a few of the ringleaders were put in confinement and handed over to the police on arrival.
The Surgeon-superintendent states that the conduct of the single women was exceedingly meritorious ; not a quarrel occurred amongst them—they were cheerful and industrious, strictly proper in their behavior, and expressed the greatest disgust at the proceedings of a licentious, foulmouthed crew, whose constant attempts to win their attention were treated with indignant contempt.
The conduct of the single men also during these disturbances was entitled to the highest praise ; they voluntarily placed themselves under the direction of the Master of the ship, to keep watch, preserve order, and if necessary, to control the crew.
The difficulties experienced during the voyage by the insubordination of these men might been attended with very serious results, had the immigrants given the sailors slightest countenance. I know not whether the good conduct of the immigrants or the sound judgment of the surgeon-superintendent, the Master, and the officers of the ship, in so acting as to secure the goodwill and co-operation of the immigrants in a very trying emergency, is to be admired.

... The lowest contract price for each adult's passage was that of the Royal Albert, at £12 19s. per head ; the total cost of this vessel to the colony for 231 statute adults embarked being £3,068. The higher prices are found as the year advanced, the Sumner receiving £17 8s. per head, and costing the colony for 235 statute adults £4,138. The largest outlay incurred on account of any one ship was in connection with the Henry Moore, the largest ship of the year, which brought us 382 statute adults (equal to 450 souls) at £16 per head; the total passage-money amounting to £6,104, and the total charge to £6,309. The aggregate charge to the colonial fund for the year's emigration was £51,799 ; of which £50,340 was for passage-money at contract rate. The amount of gratuities to surgeons, officers, &c., during the year is set down at £3,697 ; the lowest amount being £201 to the Navarino, and the highest amount £451 to the Henry Moore. ...
