South Australian Register Tuesday 26th June 1855

Monday June 25th, 1855:- the ship Taymouth Castle, 680 tons, Logan, Master, from London March 1855 & Southampton March 27th 1855
21st ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1855 ; 3 births and 7 deaths on the passage ; Mr. Thomas Graham, surgeon-superintendent.

ship Taymouth Castle
...from the South Australian Government Gazette, part of the Report for the Quarter ending June 30 1855, Immigration office, Port Adelaide July 6 1855 page 515
The Taymouth Castle, arrived from Southampton on the 24th June, but I regret to state that about forty cases of small pox had occurred since leaving England.
There were six cases on board when the ship arrived. The vessel was put in quarantine and all communication was forbidden ; four of the Water Police were put on board with the sanction of Mr. Drew, the Inspector of police. Directions were given by Captain Douglas as to the anchors and length of cable, so that she might ride in safety.
Since that time the brig Clarendon has been hired with the sanction of His Excellency the Governor-in-chief which, being moored at a proper distance from the Taymouth Castle will serve as a receiving ship.
Those who were sick have been removed from the Taymouth Castle to this hulk and should any new cases occur in the Taymouth Castle, the patient will be immediately removed. A certain number of days having elapsed without any new case of sickness showing itself, arrangements will be made for allowing the ship to discharge, after such purification as may be thought necessary.
