Return to SA Passenger Lists,1847-1886

ship Nugget, 1,128 tons, Captain James Benton, from Liverpool 1st (4th) April 1854, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 3rd July 1854

South Australian Register Tuesday 4th July 1854

Monday July 3rd, 1854:- the ship Nugget, 1,128 tons, Benton, Master, from Liverpool April 1st (4th) 1854
15th ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1854 ; 10 births and 12 deaths on the passage ; Arthur D. White, surgeon-superintendent.

ship Nugget

This Government emigrant ship arrived yesterday, in 90 days from Liverpool,
having left that port on the 4th April. The numbers of souls about to be landed we find stated at 400. During the voyage the Surgeon Superintendent had as many as 30 young patients prostate; and the deaths chiefly from Measles and Croup, were no fewer than 12 in number.
The names of the Emigrants will be found in the proper column, but the official classification has not reached us.

This first-class Clipper ship, which has just accomplished her first voyage from England, was built at Quebec by Messrs. Oliver and Co., and is the property of J. Bold, Esq., of Liverpool.
Although the voyage from England has been performed in less time, under more favourable circumstances of wind and weather, the Nugget has fully maintained her high character, as having been known to make a distance of 310 Miles in 24 hours ; for on her voyage to Port Adelaide, whilst under close reefed topsails, her average speed for three days in succession was twelve knots an hour.
The weather was more than usually variable, with a remarkable succession of calms and head winds. the longitude of the Cape of Good Hope was passed on the 13th June.

 
Arrived here on the 3rd July, having been ninety one days on the passage, bringing to the Colony 402 souls. Ten births and fourteen deaths occurred at sea ; measles prevailing during the early part of the voyage. Eight deaths were caused by that disease. This ship is admirably adapted for the conveyance of emigrants — it is lofty between the decks, and well lighted, and ventilated. Upwards of a hundred single girls arrived by this ship, but were not of the class most in demand in the colony. The surgeon-superintendent of the Nugget is of opinion that the system of berthing amidships might have been adopted with benefit in this vessel. He objects to the lying-in hospital being in the compartment appropriated to the young women, as it is the most noisy part of the ship, and also most difficult of speedy access at night.
