Return to SA Passenger Lists,1847-1886

barque Sir Edward Parry, 575 tons, Captain Gray, from Plymouth 22nd December 1853, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 25th March 1854

South Australian Register Monday 27th March 1854

Saturday March 25th, 1854:- the barque Sir Edward Parry, 575 tons, Gary, Master, from Plymouth 22 December 1853.
Passengers: ..the following Government emigrants in the steerage. . . . — 7th ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1854 ; 5 births and 4 deaths on the passage ; H. T. Cornelius, surgeon-superintendent.

The Emigrant Ship Sir Edward Parry :—
This ship arrived on the morning of Saturday, the 25th and as date of final departure was the 25th of December, the voyage from Plymouth has been accomplished in 90 days. The emigrants chiefly from Ireland, and of the class of Agricultural Labourers have arrived in excellent health. The number of souls is 233, calculated as equal to 204½ statute adults. There were five births during the voyage and four deaths: namely a woman , Bridget Couglan who died in childbirth, and three infants. The classification is as follows:-Married couples 70 ; single men 8 ; single women 100 ; Children under 14 years of age - boys 53 ; girls 2.
 
Sailed from Plymouth on the 20th December 1853 and arrived here on the 25th March, making the passage 95 days. Four deaths and five births occurred at sea. In nearly all of the ships which arrive, the state of the water closets is a source of constant annoyance and discomfort ; the plumbers work seems to have been executed in a very careless manner. To obviate the continued complaints on this subject, the Commissioners have had manufactured under the directions, and with the professional assistance of an engineer peculiarly versed in such matters, a new description of water closets, which they hope will be free from most of the defects which have hitherto caused complaint. —
I am desirous of calling the attention of His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor to the fact that the preserved meat put on board some of the emigrant ships is in many cases of very inferior quality, a very large proportion of the quantity put on board being actually unsound and unfit for human food. This was the case in the Sir Thomas Gresham, at every weekly issue it being necessary to throw many tins overboard ; but there were a sufficient number of tins of sound meat to give to all their full rations during the voyage, but on arrival at Port Adelaide there remained only four tins, which I caused to be opened, and found one out of the four quite putrid. There was no brand or manufacturer’s name on the tins, and I know not from whom they were purchased. I consider an evil of this kind well worthy of the attention of the Commissioners in England. Means may be taken to oblige the owners to purchase food of this description from manufacturers of known character.
