PPPPPPPPPPPP 
p.C.E.   you will not get English topography correct, it was built at Hylton, a town near Sunderland, in county Durham, not Hilton and company!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
PACIFIC  I PS.A LOVELY LOT OF RUBBISH HERE. SEE Aust.Coastal Pass Ships. I PS ON2668 1469g 985n B.1854 John Scott Russell,Millwall for the æSydney & Melbourne S.P.CoÆ not the Melbourne SP Co, Arrived sydney Feb. 26, 1855   after a lengthy passage uner steam, but by then the M&S SP Co was in financial difficulties and after one or two return trips to Melbounre the vessel was sent back to England for sale and therefore was one of the few PADDLE Steamers to have made a return voyage to England under steam,. She became Transport No. 8 chartered by the British Government for the Crimean war. Was converted to Screw   propulsion in 1866 = 1294/850n and was wrecked Feb.7, 1871 Whalsey Is, Shetland Islands, 27 lost. Was chartered in 1859 as a transatlantic vessel for the Galway Line (Atlantic Royal Mail S.N.c.) dimensions 248.5 x 32.2 x 23.6 and of  course  only built in 1854 it was difficult for it to arrive in Sydney in 1853! And is not recorded elsewhere as a blockade runner. 
PACIFIC 1860 san,  NEVER HAPPENED 
Pacific  b.1863, my typo, 336 tons -   an additional 3 unintended 
PACIFIC, W ss 19t ON83631, B.1879 Berrys Bay,  was not lost I e sunk, but arrested and became forfeit to the crown because of smuggling, and the govt sold  in 1904 to Jones Bros. see folio 27 of 1881 
PACIFICO,  W brig, B.1848 in 1852 came to aust. ownership in Hobart. Feb.1853 Govt of Victoria, Oct. 1854 to private owners:  July 1855 S.G.Henty reg Portland July 1856 returns Melb. reg and end of year sold to Hong Kong 
PALACE, MORE STUPID guesswork. W BQ,  355/339 on50878, Built 1862 Mirimichi as CONFEDERATE STAR, RENAMED WHEN BECAME BRITISH AT LIVERPOOL IN 1869. in 1874 acquired by the Glenn Bros, merchans of greymouth NZ and Melbourne, reg. Melbourne 22 of 1874: They sold in 1877 to Dunedin Mechants who eventually sold in June 1886 to Henry Moss for conversaion to hulk  and in april 1929 was acq by Victorian Lighterage. 
Unnecessary and ill-informed ocomment continues apace in what is supposed to be a reference book. P 
anic of 66 was real enough to those in it. 
PAPANUI, B.1898 originally as a sailing ship û I do not KNOW how such strange reports originate but it is incorrect it was built as a steamship 
Pappinbarrra, was owned by N. CainÆs Coastal steamship company, that had commenced as a co-operative concern, it was CAIN, nothing to do with Cairns. 
PARA w  BRIG, 266T on30395, b .1862 Alloa,Scotland. In 1882 came to aust from Natal and reg in Pt.Adelaide, and aug.1884  to Jas MacMillan,reg. Brisbane: Nov. 1890 to an accountant which suggests it was laid up or otherwise incapacitated. In 1897 it sank in the Brisbane river and was demolished by the Marine dept and her register closed in 1904 
PAREORA ON104735, was sold to Firth of sydney in 1908 
PARINGA, COMMENT FROM æfbÆ IS SOMEWHAT HIGHLY INACCURATE OR VERY SELECTIVE ûMANY OTHERS CAN BE EASILY LOCATED Again you have some of the most unreliable æsourcesÆ known to man!. 
Paris 1873, no trace, and, as before when checking for NSW Heritage I asked where it came from and that could ot be supplied 
PARISIANA, was lost 1910, repeat 1910, even you have the crew landing  January 1911 which makes it difficult to sink eleven months later!!!.My detail from Lloyds register 
PARRAMATTA HMAS  BUILT iron, I DONÆT THINK SO, STEEL WAS MUCH BETTER IN THE 20TH CENTURY 
PATEENA, built for Bass Strait Ferry, but known coal eater,and often laid up, Union line took her to NZ after they bought tSN but there was such an outcry she was returnd to Bass strait service until 1909 and even then was returned to the Bass strait ferry work in emergency, such as in 1915 when needed to replace Loongana  see also Aust.Coastal Passenger Ships 
PATERSON  SEE ALSO Aust.Coastal Pass ships. ON32292, built 1854 Greenock measuring 326/213, altered and raised upon in 1873 = 410/260n. Built for HUNTER River New S.N.Co. and their sydney-Hunter river passengers and cargo service July 1871 to wm.Summerbell and others, and employed as a collier sydney-Newcastle In June 1872, on a voyage toward sydney sprang a leak and returned to Stockton and was beached June 1872 and repaired. 
PATHFINDER??? 
PATRIONESS,  was reported in the press as PATRIOTESS  BQ 288 TONS WAS INWARD FROM Leith and berthed at Geelong July 7,1857 
PATTERDALE  two entries WHY????? 
PAUL JONES  1877, Heavan alone knows where Loney got his information. û mine came from American Lloydös register 
PAUL PRY AND PASSENGER Watt. Well if I do not make it clear I do not know what else to say. I reported the man trapped in the cabin was drowned????????? What more could I report??? 
Pauline et Victore  lost Musgrave island, probably means Mabiag or Jervis island, but reported in contempory press as Mulgrave 
PEISANDER, loss position from the british governmentÆs official war lost list 
PELICAN LOST 1888  was not converted to sail, but having been a harbour vessel had no rigging, but when to work in the ocean it was fited with masts and sails to assist her engine.!!!  I do NOT say she had the engine removed, why should I -  as it was refitted to work as a subsidised tug, Can no one on your staff understand shipping affairs of the 19th century?????? 
The next entry if for the same vessel in 1855 
PELICAn, s TSS TUG, B.1898 FOR w a GOVT, SOLD TO Geelong harour board in 1906 and renamed G.F.Holden 
PELICAN,  ASHORE  Mackay 1918 = I ss  b.1885 for Qld Govt,, reg. closed 1932 æsold  and since converted to houeboatÆ 
PELTON BANK, was a collier owned by McIlwraith McEacharn and employed on the Newcastle-Mortlake coal run for  Australian  gaslight co 
PENGUIN, I ss ON47849  later 824g B.1864 Tod & McGregor,  Glasgow for G.& J. Burns, Liverpool. Bought by Union line 1879 to replace lost Taupo for the Cook strait services of Union Line, although sometimes on other voyages and for some time was on the North West coast of Tasmania û Melbourne trade. Originally had been on the UK-Ireland service 
PEREGRINE, see Australian Coastal passenger Ships.  Iron ss ON98972, B.1891 W/.B.Thomson & Co, Dundee for the General S.N.Co, London, sold to Wm.Howard smith Dec.1891 reg.Melbourne sold to Moller,Shanghai, 1916. Stranded English Channel  June 14, 1917, refloated in August and taken up by British shipping controller,  sold to German shipbreakers in 1922. while originally in  the Melbourne-WA service,  moved to the Queensland coastal services. 
PERI,  your long and uninformative comment only confuses the issue.  My reports are fully confirmed by contemprary reports etc. Although it is clear the facts have been picked up, mutilted and twisted to suit the aspirations, whims or fictional asperations of many doubtful writers. 
PERIOD s SS 2791T BUILT FOR Howrd Smith and  sold in 1946 to w.R.Carpenter & Co, Hong Kong, and in 1947  sold and became Chinese with various names and no further reports after 1967 
PERSIA   w ship 527/658 arrived melb dec 8  with 27 passemgers  And had been visiting since 1851, nothing about migrant ship 
PERSIA, TWO MAIL LINERS SUNK IN ww!  THE VESSEL BUILT 1910 WAS THE p&o LINER  JUST WHERE THE 1898 BUILT VESSEL CAME FROM I CANNOT DISCOVER. ALTHOUGH THE LOSS OF LIFE SHOWN FOR THE 1898 VESSEL IS REPORTED FOR THE VESSEL BUILT IN 1910, INCLUDING THE MASTER OF THE VESSEL 
PERU, I have never heard of a steamer voyage from th east coast of USA to Australia via the horn, they invariably came via the Cape of Good hope!!!! More uninformed inaccurate fantasy! 
PET. W SHIP, RE RIGGED BARQUE 1869  277 T THEN 268TONS, on31184, b.1847 St.Marys Bay, Nova scotia first Hobart reg 1849 and in the mauritius trade  but sold in 1860 after lengthy lay up for whaling. Sold to sydney 1891 apparently for demolition 
PET LOST  1867  WHY TWO ENTRIES?????????// 
Peterborugh w SS B. 1886 FOR Shellharbour s.S.Co, sold Aug.1905 Illawarra  & S.C.S.N.Co., 1911 to David Drake and hulked in 1911 
PETREL  on32661 LOST IN 1866 HAS A STRANGE ITEM IN THE MIDDLE  ;lost 3 march 1849Æ????? 
PETREL, 7 TONS, on53988, B.1868, REGISTER CLOSED 1917 WTH BROKEN UP, LAST OFFICIAL OWNER TOOK CHARGE IN AUG 1878 AND WAS Thomas.Nelson 
PETREL, reported lost c.1872/3 see entry above for on64361 
PETREL, STEAM TUG BUILT 1895???NO OTHER REF 
PETREL on108870, not owned by Robison & Norman in 1914 
PEVERIL on31635,WHEN FIRST IN Australia at Melbourne in 1857 described as 71 tons, later remeasuered =  59 tons 
PEYTONA WAS built East BOSTON 
PHAETON, was an american BUILT SHIP but not American owned, as is implied in this poor rendition of facts. 
PHANTOM BRIG, INWARD FROM Sydney August 6, 1852 got ashore and assisted by Teaser and is the same vessel as on32285 
PHANTOM, Ips  63/40t. ON 41100. reg shows built 1858 J.f.Dow,Melbourne and your usual fairy story of information should read:   Argus Oct. 23,1858 conducted a trial trip  Oct. 20, 1858 and now is working on the Melbourne-Williamstown ferry. The owner being Mr.s.B.Sknner, one time partner in the Geelong shipping agency with mr.Parker. SMH May 1859 reports her arrival sydney for the Manly ferry. And reg sydney 29/1859, and employed on ferry duties by people who ultimately traded  by 1877 as the Port Jackson steam Boat company. Sold Dec.1878 for the Watsons Bay ferry service where it remained untl engine removed 1883 and it became a barge. Reg closed 1885 æbroken upÆ 
PHAROS, composite hull screw steamship according to  Argus  March 15, 1865 and converted into a lightship for the south channel,according to Aust.Shpg News  Nov.6,1880 but apparently those plans altered and sold Feb. 1881 and acquired by Jas Deane now said wood hull,  108.7 x 19.5 x 10/7 who in 1885 merged with others to form Melbourne Coal & Engineerng Co trhat ended up as Melbourne S.S.Co. register says altered in 1913. and thereafter appears as æhulkÆ 
PHILADELPHIA, why would anyone imagine the first trade goods to Sydney would be from England? It was a penal colony, and the Hon East India Company had exclusive and extensive rights over trade in the area and in fact Philadelphia was  not supposed to visit. But unless the local authorities took action nothing could be done, it was not possible for HEIC to prosecute an American flag vessel. More ill-informed and unnecessary comment. Cumpston reports Philadelphia as a brigantine  that arrived Nov. 1792 that departed Dec.7 for Canton Cumston does not list another arrival in December with  goods for sale although hOPE did have spirits in her holds 
PHILLIP DUNDAS,  went to Port raffles in company with col schooner  but there is no reason to suppose she could not continue a voyage onward to south Africa? another unnecessarey and useless comment 
PHILLIPINE  (No SSS) W bq 311/302. ON27757, B.1860 û Wright, Kincardine,  Acq. 1885 Tasmanian s.N.Co, reg. Hobart as coal hulk, trans to UNION Line in 1891  and broken up and burnt Tamar River 
PHOEBE WRECK 1856 WAS TRAVELING FROM NEWCASTLE TO Newcastle, according to your typesetting specialistà and we had Spitfire out of Gabo Island, perhaps set out for, or something else, has been overlooked or ignored in the text from which it was copied.?????????//P 
PHOEBE KETCH 1884, WAS RAISED AND REPAIRED AS PER MY Ketches of south Australia and entry my book 
PHOEBE A.hearst,  NO DATE GIVEN FOR LOSSS 
Phoebe, b. 1850, was NEVER AUSTRALIAN OWNED, Duncan dunbar was a very prominent LONDON shipowner û it is impossible to believe anyone with an interest  in the subject could make such a mistake 
PHOENIX, former transport, B.1798, converted to hulk, Sydney Gazette  Oct.31, 1837 reports the former prison hulk in Lavender Bay is to be broken up. 
PHOENIX, W ps, Greenock is NOT in England, but in Scotland.[such statements infuriate anyone of Scottish descent) See Australian Coastal Passenger ships  Arrived Pt.Phillip Dec.22,1852, and was acquired early 1853 by partners endeavouring to conduct a steamer service between PtAdelaide and Melbourne which proved to be uneconomical and the vessel was laid up in Melbourne until purchased in 1855 by Robert towns 
PHOENIX, W bq, 255t on55524  B.1867 Jas.Little Pictou,NS  to Australia at Adelaide in 1874 and to E.T.Miles Hobart in1888 and probably hulked 
PIANET, COMMENT UNNECESSARY, AS CONFIRMED BY OTHERS,AND NOT JUST A MISTAKE although as one of the worst manufacturers of errors, perhaps you might have realised that it could be right 
Piggot,  ACTUALLY h.g.Pigott, see Scuttled &Abandoned ships 
PILBARRA, SEE ASLO AUST COASTAL Pas Ships for additionat such as trip to Vancouver etc.etc 
PILOT 1104 TONS, WAS  ACTUALLY w SCH, on31784, b,1845 Aberdeen, 114 tons later 99tt,  to Melbourne in 1854 from Dundee reg. which is your next entry.. It had been ashore at the Mersey river T heads in sept.1866. 
PILDUSKI, you continually complain about the position given for war losses by the British government,  The vessel was probably ordered north about scotland to keep it as far as possible away from submarines known to be swarming in the channel. These pointless criticisms show a complete ignorance of conditions/ practices due to wartime and could drive away potential users of this work û if there are any left by this stage of trying to continue with such  mismanaged, fairytales 
PIONEER ON71779  was built at Mystic, not as shown 
PIONEER STEAMER LOST NR CRONULLA IN 1852 DID NOT HAPPEN see stmr built 1872 ûthis is another self perpetuating error 
Pioneer ON40202 arrived first in australia at Melbourne and reg there in 1855,then to Launceston register in 1856, Newcastle in 1862 and Sydney in 1865 and when  built was named SUSAN & KATE DENIM WHICH ARRIVED Melbourne Nov. 14, 1854. 
PIONEER iron,  CUTTER  22 tons ON41456, B.1856 Melbourne for George Ward Cole reg closed 1876 with æbroken upÆ 
PIONEER W bgn, 158t, ON48430 b.1865 by four shipwrights Melbourne who became first reg. owners.  1885 sold Brisbane owners. And became coal hulk at Rockanmpton for Howard Smith in 1885 and broken up there in 1907 
pioneer  W ss 39/26, 1873 deck housing added now 44/33   intended as ferry between Darwin and southport, left Darwin in 1874 to return south via Newcastle and lost near Cronulla to the confusion of many wreck list compilers.

Pioneer ON89260, I state was lost in 1889 rr 1889 not your date 
PIONEER built Fremantle  1883, reg closed 1908, no report for a long time 
PIONEER, EX rn LATER ran, SCUTTLED, WAS steel hulled, why does every warship you name have to have an IRON hull???????? See Scuttled & Abandoned ships 
PIRATE ISS, B.1848. ARRIVED Melbourne May 1853 for sale, and in June purchased for the Geelong-Launceston run, but unsuccessful and diverted to LÆton-sydney trade  Oct. 1854. In 1858 made a trip Melbourne-Rockhampton. Lengthened  1851 406/285  166.8 x 22.5 x 19.3, originally 393/217n see further detail Aust. coastal passenger ships 
PISAGUA,  never enrolled in Australia as a working vessel, first reg Melbourne 1907 as a hulk 
PLANET w PS, B,1854, WHEN LAUNCHED WAS SAID TO BE FOR sYDNEY Harbour although there were sleeping berths fitted, It was altered in Jan.1855  and employed on the south coast run until despatched to New Zealand in 1856.

PLATYPUS, I TWIN SCREW SS imported by Queensland SN Co 
PLATYPUS, iron dredge, scuttled Peel Island 1926 see Scuttled and abandoned ships 
PLUTO/INVINCIBLE collison, NOT OTHERWSE REPORTED BUT IF IT DID HAPPEN IT WAS December 1854  ss Pluto I ss  147g/1104n,B. 1853 Dumbarton, was arriving, under canvas, from Liverpool for sale, while the bq INVINCIBLE  296 WAS RETURNING HOME TO AUCKLAND. Neither were delayed. Pluto was not sold in Melbourne and left early Jan. 1855 for sydney where it was sold and the buyers endeavoured to open a service to Manning river without success, the Pluto was sent to shanghai in 1856 û see Australian Coastal Passenger ships 
PLYMOUTH  with news of gold strike California, did NOT arrive Melbourne at Christmas 1848 or any other time., There is nothing from anywhere  under master named Gould, nor any vessel from Hawaii û perhaps this was in sydney but am unable to check but your entry completely untrue about Victoria arrival However Bateson in Gold fleet or California, distinctly states the vessel was reported in the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD Dec. 23 1848 reported the arrival of Plymouth. I cannot imagine just how you get hold of such poorly reearched stoires or collections of rubbish!!!! 
POCKLINGTON, was built at Stockwith on the river Trent, near Gainsborough, apparently you do not have a good map of the British isles. 
POHERUA  S ss ON98061 B.1890 Middlesbro as CROYDON. SOLD TO Union line Sept. 1890, On delivery voyage was forced to call at Albany with engineroom trouble Nov.10.,1890 On June 18,1894 rescued survivors of the Alexander Newton.. Scutled Feb. 9, 1924 
POMARE, if the dates are correct, it took a long time for the news to reach the press accident Jan, report December???????? 
POOLTA s SS  on151547 b1921,  BOUGHT ON STOCKS BY Tasmanian Govt for Sydney-N.W.Tasmania service and was notoriously slow. In 1924 placed under the management of Patrick S S Co, which soon after went into liquidation and the vessel sold in 1925 to Union S S CO who sold to Greeks in April 1952 and then to Turskish owners, broken up under the name  ARIF  at ISTANBUL IN 1961 
Poonbar S tss B.1913 Murdoch & Murray, Pt.Glasgow for North coast co. sold 1927 for proposed Hobart,Sydney-Brisbane trade laid up 1928 unsuccessful Feb.1928 sold to Nelson & Robertson  for Sydney-Qld service, and later chartered to John burke Brisbane laid up 1946, sold 1947 renamed SAN ERNESTO TO Hong Kong and scrapped at Hong Kong in 1951 
PORPOISE of 1875 has the shipbuilderÆs name wrong,as usual. And of course it has acquired miraculous powers  - built in 1875 and working in Townsville in 1873??????? Some confusion  or misreading or whatever û clear as mud to me!!! 
PORT JACKSON iron 4 mast ship, 2212/2132 ON84362 B.1882 A.Hall & Co, Aberdeen for w.Duthie, Torpedoed april 2,1917 180 miles north by west from Fastnet with loss of 14 including the master. 
PORT VICTOR  torpedoed 47.49n x 22.02w 
PORT WELLINGTON, more ill-informed comment. A well armed and heavly protected semi-warshp, the raider, came unannounced upon a vessel with one only 6 inch (I suspect it was only 4 inch, never came upon a DEMS with 6ö before) gun on the stern, and you suggest it may have been able to destroy the raider û impossible, How could one single gun on a merchant ship hope to overcome a warship fitted with a number of similar sized guns served by professionally trained crew while on Port Wellington with one or two DEMS ratings and the rest of the crew supposed to bring up ammunition and lay it etc.etc., You must get your wartime information direct from Comic cuts  or believe in the tooth fairy or something, you certainly do not have much reliable information about wartime activities,or anything else  that matters 
PORTUNA, SHOULD BE CROSS REFERENCED TO CORRECT NAME, I E portenia 
POSEIDON  OR posidonia , MAKE UP YOUR MIND, - IT IS THE SAME VESSEL. SEE Scuttled and abandoned ships. 
POTTS & PAUL  W ss 19 ON89371, B. 1885, may have suffered an accident in 1906 but it was not fatal as it was renamed in 1910 and was ultimately dismantled in Kerosene bay reg closed.1941 
PRAESIDENT  on1022240, 821G 767N b1875 Stravanger, Owners June 1900  Duncan W.Paterson & John w.Bateman, reg closed Jan.1901 sold to a chinese at Hong Kong 
PRAIRIE  all four entries the same vessel. 
PREMAYDENA, no trace vessel this name, but as it was built in 1870 and lost in  1860 it is probably another fantasay item, 
President,   PRISON HULK =  w. 3M SHIP RIGGED, 553 TONS ORIG SHOWN AS 653, b.1837/8 Portsmouh New Hamshipre as HARRIET ROCKWELL, renamed on sale to Launceston in 1850 and was formerly 88 of 1850 San Francisco.  Apl. 1851 sold to F.a.Ducroz, Hobart.  sold to Vic Govt July 1852.

Rae, Melbourne, and on arrival trans to Raleigh bros Jan 1856 Thos.Norton,  Jan.1860 G.W.cole advertises the vessel for Port Albert. Sept 1860 sold to F.greer Dunedin for coastal svc Dunedin to Bluff, .Greer in difficulties with local authorities and in May 1862 it was sent to Hong Kong for sale, it was sold to a foreigner in 1863. 
PRINCE ARTHUR on31751,  WHY TWO ALMOST INDENTICAL, ENTRIES RETAINING THE END OF THE VESSEL???????????????? 
Prince consort  OF 1864, YOU SIMPLY DO NOT, OR CANNOT READ  A REPORT IN FULL.  I CLEARLY SAY THIS VESSEL WAS TOWED INTO SYDNEY BY PS Kembla.  This inattention to the wording of a report crops up so frequently, one can only believe it is a medically induced problem involing poor eyesight otherwise it must be sheer carlessness û or inability to understand the written word! You say that it was towed into Sydney by Kembla then waffle on about it must have been saved etc.etc.etc. Just what goes on in the mind of whosoever writes  these things it is impossible to comprehend. 
PRINCE OF WALES  w BQ 582 TONS ARRIVED SYDNEY FROM nz Jan 28, 1843 (left Pt.Nicholson Nov. 18) was in ballast, and left for  Valparaiso Jan. 30 still in ballast 
PRINCE OF WALES< B.1850 LOST 1853, MIRACLES AGAIN û OR FANTASY LAND? BUT YOU HAVE IT in an ACCIDENT AUGUST 1854. Mistaken ship??Probably!! Oh well, there never has been much sense in entries when the  the same name crops up throughout this farrago of sheer nonsense 
PRINCE PATRICK, like so many other entries two separate entries for the same ship and same incident.   Why do you continually waste paper? 
PRINCE REGENT B.1810  allegedly wrecked in 1827, returned to Sydney March 17, 1839. 
PRINCE REGENT 383 TONS DID NOT ARRIVE Sydney Jan. 3,1842 but one of that name did arrive in Hobart 3 jan 1842. MORE CONFUSION, OR MISUNDERTANDING ETC.ETC.I feel so sorry for whoever it is wsho cannot reafd English very well. 
PRINCESS LOST 1898? I DO NOT FIND IT IN MY COPY OF San OR ANYWHERE ELSE 
Princess VICTORIA, lost 1853, the vessel involved was NOT a tug but a barque named Tutelina 
PROMPT, ON31833 HOW ON EARTH DID YOU DECIDE IT WAS BUILT IN Tasmania?????? Bridport, Dorset was a well known seaport and shipbuilding area in 1821, but I doubt Bridport Tasmania was even thought of! This vessel only arrived in Melbourne in 1856 rr 1856 
PROPONTIS, W ship  496 repeat 496 tons, Built 1833  repeat 1833, Medford Mas. Arrived in Port Phillip april 30, 1853  from Boston, USA, and left May 16 1854 for Hobart.   acq 1854 by TSN and converted to coal hulk, 
PROSPECTOR 235  BOTH ENTRIES THE SAME SHIP 
Prosper Coulon another unnecessary comment, 
PROSPERINE IS WRONG, the pilot schooner was named PROSERPINE, first arrived port Phillip October 11, 1854 from Hobart and was sold to the pilot company Dec, 1854 repeat 1854 and was enrolled folio 304 of 1854  thus =  wood schooner 70 tons, ON40909 Built 1847 at Ipswich,Suffolk,  and until about 1862 was pilot schooner for No.2 company of pilots, sold by the pilots and register closed 1869 with æsold  foreign at TahitiÆ 
PROSPERITY  lost 1902, the 1895 incident was not fatal. 
PROSPERO,  W 2m brig, 198tons, ON43273, B.1862 Jersey, came to Australia at Pt.Adelaide 1869, 1881 to Hobart and ælostÆ to O May because it was sold for use as a hulk in sydney in 1893.

QUEEN, I ss, see Aust. Coastal Pas Ships, built 1852, repeat 1852. by thos wingate & Co, Whiteinch,Glasgow, ON31197 207g/137n, but this fairytale is really strait from the Brothers Grimm. and only sometimes approaches reality ;Arrived Pt.Phillip from Glasgow Jan 26, 1854 and was for sale., Made at least one trip to New Zealand and was considered a potential trans tasman mail steamer in 1854, but was not accepted. In Feb.1855 Capt.G.Doran took charge and made a few exploratory trips to Western Districts of Vic.  Argus July 7, 1855 reported it had been purchased by Brown,Ralston & CO, as agent for proposed Western S.N.Co. which failed to incorporate and after the arrival of HentyÆs CHAMPION, the idea was abandoned. Dec.18, 1856 McMeckan,Blackwood & Co, purchased the vessel, and placed it in the Bass Strait ferry service, until enlarging it and placing it on the Melbourne-Port Adelaide run. In July 1858 when laid up and for sale purchased for work in New Zealand but the buyer did not successfully tender for a mail contract and the vessel returned to Melbourne for sale and nov 1859 was purchased by Hentys who were at a loss to find suitable employment for the vessel, and  at the end of 1863 they placed it on the Melbourne-sydney-Brisbane run, without success and later in the Brisbane to north queensland trade, again without success, and she was sold in 1864 to New Zealand yet again.  Just where do you get these fairytales??? Or do you commission them from drunken deadbeats?  I have never sson so much misinformation between two covers. 
QUEEN, on73501  well I do not know where Henderson came across this, but the official custom house register for Fremantle gave that official number to a vessel NAMED GASCOIGNE,  folio 3 of 1878 b.,1878 meaasuring 7 tons   And make no reference to any change of name 
QUEEN, 71 tons, was registered as THE QUEEN,, Q V. 
Queen EX natone,  SEE MY COMMENT FOR Natone 
QUEEN OF THE SOUTH, ON74793, was an iron hull single screw steamship, not a paddler. And was built for the service from Goolwa to Port Adelaide when a subvention was offered. When the subsidy was not renewed the vessel was sold  in april 1880 to the Clarence & Richmond rivers s.N.co. 
QUEEN OF THE THAMES B.1870 YOU DESCRIBE AS AN AUXILIARY SCREW STEAMSHIP BUT LATER SAY THE FIRST full POWERED STEAMER???YOU CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS 
Queen victoria B.1806 contemporary press said part owner was Will BREND 
QUEENSCLIFFE, of 1876 was built for and owned by Queensclife Steam Boat co, until 1901 when diverted to the Gippsland trade when purchased by A..J.Ellerker and in Nov.1902 was transferred to  Lakes S.S.Co, etc. 
QUEENSLAND S SS B.1884 FOR R.Hart & CO, Maryborough, sold later to Cleghorn Hopkins Brisbane and made gravel barge.   See scuttled and abandoned ships 
QUETTA  was built from IRON, not steel and was officially the property of brtish India Associated Steamers Ltd. 
QUIRAING,  1855 IMPOSSIBLE, NOT BUILT UNTIL 1882.  YET ANOTHER WILD GRAB AT SOME ILLUSION. Or loney unable to read his notes>>>>>>>???? 

RRRRR 

Neath ex  R.C. rickmers,  as auxiliary barque torpedoed  March 27,1917  28 miles south by east  from the Fastnet, the master taken prisoner 
RAGER WILLIE, someone has let their sexual deviations take charge here. the name was RAJAH WALLIE 
Rahra  Danger Island for a vessel owned in Suva will obviously be somewhere in the south pacific, probably in the Fiji group, and hardly likely to be in Broken Bay>>? 
RAINBOW AND  Owen Glendower etc., all very dubious. Apart from loss of Rainbow û see my comment about Owen Glendower which seems to have vanished 
Rajah Willie, - someone has had a lot of difficulty with the name of this vessel which was  RAJAH WALLIE 
RANDOLPH  what happened to the 3 passengers and 35 emigrants that were also aboard, and bound for Victoria?? 
RANELAGH  on84930, SEE ALSO Aust.Coastal Pass Ships, and it was lost near Burnett Heads, not Island but later you prefer to say it was at Bundaberg  Also collided. with ss Konoowarra Mary River  Dec.1, 1889Æ 
RANGATIRA I Ss on41123 was originally 592gt, but in 1866  she was fitted with an additional deck, causing remeasurement  see Aust.Coastal Pass Ships for full deails of service, originally on Aust-NZ run, then later in the contract mail service between Albany and Port Adelaide as part of a service between Albany and sydney via Melbourne. 
Both Ranger entries one vessel 
RANGER  w 1M SLOOP:  46 tons: 1844 = cutter: 1853   2m schooner.  1858 û 42 tons.Sydney Gazette Oct. 26, 1837 purchased for use as revenue vessel at Pt.Phillip. c.1841/1 pilot cutter Pt.Phllp  and in Sept 1844  sold to others, usually Melbourne residents who ultimately enroll with Melbourne Customs until sold to Sydney late 1858,and thence to Newcastle. 
RANGER 11 tons b.1842. capsized BETWEEN, THE HEADS OF Port Jackson, not within 
RANGITANE, no mention of passengers/crew being landed on island etc.  see my book 
RANGITIRA û SEE UNDER CORRECT NAME OF RANGATIRA 
RANGITOTO  574G, on50199, MY TYPO, BUILT 1865 REPEAT 1865, but was built in Scotland, NOT ENGLAND,(if you cannot be sure say UK and then you offend no one) for the Panama Line,reg. London, and acq.1869 by Meckan,blackwood & CO, for the Tasman trade 
RAPID, 105 tons, built Dundee USA? Where did that come from. Dundee Scotland is the place invoved SAN LISTED ANOTHER VESSEL SAME NAME, REG IN Sydney, where  the vessel lost of 103 was enrolled Melbourne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
RAPID of S.A company why,after half a page above do we have it again???????? 
RAPID coastal trader 44 tns b.1838 sydney was actually the Iron Paddle steamer RAPID, put together in Sydney from imported sections and the closing entry of the register says Hulked, but is undated, however a list prepared for London in 1851 said it had been broken up, so just what was lost, if anything, in 1857 was NOT the 1838 iron paddle steamerÆ but -- the 103 ton vessel was lost in Broken Bay in 1857 which is  probably where Loney got lost 
RAVEN  w ps, b. 1848, was not sold and or repossessed.  It had been sent to Brisbane for the Ipswich trade but found to be unsuitable and was returning to sydney when stranded, 
Rebecca ON32215  Register closed in 1872 with wrecked date unknown. Oriignally 74 tons, altered 1856 to 68t. sold to Hobart owners in 1847 and Melbourne in 1855, Port Adelaide in 1856 returns Melbourne reg 1859  and sydney in 1861 
REBEL, is not noticed to move after Dec.11,1854, subsequent press notices about it being in port simply an error, 
RECOVERY  lost 1842, as I quote contemporary press references earlier than june reporting the loss suggest your other compilers are wrong!!! 
RED GAUNTLET BROKEN UP Thursday island, registers all say owned by Burns,Philp & CO.Ltd, 
RED JACKET arrived pt Phillip 14 july 1854 on record run. 
RED ROVER, aND Capt Noon.  He took charge of  ON31964, B. 1849, in June 1850 and was in charge for a year or two 
REDBANK, w PS   79 TONS, b.1863, With the death of Robert Towns, executors of his estate sell to Bribane shipbuilder etc.  A.Muir who re-reg Brisbane (folio 6 of 1877) as single screw steamship and the registrar notes æformerly reg in sydney as paddle steamerÆ, which suggests Muir rebuilt the vessel. In 1883 was sold to  H.L.Moar and partners Aug.1895 to AUSN Oct.1900 to others, and register is closed Feb.1918 æno information available  vessel is believed to have been sunk at Marble Island off Qld CoastÆ It was originally intended as a collier from the redbank mines and seems to have spent most of its working life delivering coal to ships in brsbane 
Redbird  and or redbank, you are undecided, although REDBIRD is the accepted name for the tug û and your very short term memory gives the same comment about the use of ANZAC to both!!!!  More carlessness or is it just thoughtlessness? 
Redbreast more miracles.  Built 1963 and wrecked  1878.  Did your poorly trained monkey never look to see what keys it pressed? I cannot brelive all this atrocious typesetting could have been performed by a human û unless they are almost blind or suffering mental debilitaary in some wway, 
REMBRANDT.  Why two entries one with a very lengty and unnecessary comment û weÆ re definitely trying to confuse someone û perhaps the compiler???? 
REMORA DREDGE,  see Scuttled and Abandoned Ships for full details and disposal

REPTON 
Republic, LOST 1891, Just Because a sailing ship took a cargo of coal I do not believe it is entitled to be called a collier 
RESCUE tug, another stupid observation about the name 
RESCUE last item pg.767 is the same vessel as the entry immediatealy above 
RESOLUTE SAID TO BE ASHORE  SOUTH CHANNEL MAY 21, =  Wood ship  786 tons,arrived Pt.Phillip May 25, 1853, and sailed for Hong Kong July 16 no mention of stranding 
RESOLUTE, w PS. ARRIVED UNDER CANVAS FROM England in charge of Pilot James Deane, Dec.23,1863 for Resolute Steam Tug co., in 1873 to Melbourne Harbour Trust and by 1897 to Townsville Harbour Board, who record demolition in 1925 
RESOLUTE, 37 TONS BUILT Pt.Adelaide, has already been fully covered, we now have a reprise for some reason!!!!!!!! 
RESOLUTE  Broken up in Townsvile in 1925 is your tug that arrived in 1863 from London that was sold to Townsvilel Harbour Board abut 1897 
RESOLUTION, ON58086 NOW HERE IS SOMETHING, A TWO MAST barque?? THOSE SAIL ENTHUSIASTS WILL BE AMUSED AMAZED OR BEMUSED. IT WAS IN FACT A TWO MAST BRIGANTINE 
Restless w BQ, ON54071, WAS SOLD TO HENRY Moss, for conversion to lighter in 1888 and register closed broken up in 1902. 
RESULT, vanished 1880. Quite a lot of confused reporting/reading in your remarks. My records are from the Custom House files of the day. 
RESULT,  burnt  1866, which you say made 9 voyages from London to Melbourne, yet was built probably as late as 1865 û be sensible, it took near enough  to eight months for a quick round trip. 
REVENGE, KT, on32592 LOST 1862 REGISTER CLOSED 1872 æÆLOST WITH ALL HANDS ABOUT 1863Æ 
Rhea- scuttled off sydney, entierely different vessel, vide scuttled report from official sources, see Scuttled & Abandoned Ships. That states a former US warship filled with mines and depth charges etc. 
RHYMNEY Why?? what interest to Australia???????? 
RIALTO,   first in Australia at Melbourne 1860 ownes by Arch.Currie &  T.E.Boyd. confusion about date of loss derives from reg making statement giving wrong date. 
Although trans to Melbourne in 1860, Arch Currie was master in 1858 when it first arrived from overseas. 
RIALTO, VANISHED 1920, NO TRACE IN AUSTRALIAN REGISTERS 
Richard Bell, May have gone aground in 1833 but the same vessel visited sydney in 1837, so it must be presumed she was refloated. 
RICHMOND, SAN reported lost off Newcastle 1924 rr 1924, but nothing that name registered anywhere in Australia in 1924. 
RIFLEMAN,  SUPPOSED 1834. There was a vessel this name  brig 303 that left Sydney May 27, 1831 for Java having visited Hobart  April 2, 1831 from London   which returned to Hobart Nov. 1832 from London and sailed for Lonodn April 1833 no menion of non arrival

And then went into the western districts of Victoria trade with strong competition from western S.N.Co., and in 1877 began ccntract mail services on Wst Australian coast  and after serious damage by stranding at Cossack, when refitted and repaired was transferred to the Adelaide s.s.Company was hulked in 1901 when her engine and boiler went into the tug URAIDLA, THE VESSEL WAS  DEMOLISHED IN 1910.

ROVER lost 1841 Broulee is followed by another entry misdated but the same loss. 
ROVER, LOST IN Hurricane, and next entry are the same vessel, although there is no other reference to 1892 event, and the vessel built in 1864 never had the register closed no owners changed after first enrolment, all very dubious 
ROVERÆs bride, BUILT BY Korff from material salvaged from the wreck of CEREs, not the salvaged CEREs, which was never raised.  BatesonÆs report has nothing to do with final loss.  Apart from indicating the vessel was substantially repaired and reûrigged after the incident.  Why is it necessary to try and marry the two???? ROYAL ADELAIDE. MY DIMENSIONS FROM Liverpool Underwriters Register for 1871 do not know where yours come from but doubtful,at best 
ROYAL ALFRED   W ps ON57781  see Sydney Ferry Fleets, Prescott.  Sold 1885 for Watsons Bay run. 
ROYAL CHARLOTTE, ALL THAT UNNECESSARY CHATTER about semantics etc û quite a point when one considers the mess made in previous entries of this publication û and it would have been IMPOSSIBLE to re-reg a ship as british with another name in the 1820s. The law was particularly strict . It was illegal to change the name of a British owned vessel until 1875,there were devicies that made it possible to do so, but unlikely to be employed on a damaged ship of 1825.. 
ROYAL GEORGE lost Sth Africa 1822. no one else has seen or hinted at this loss????? 
ROYAL GEORGE  Pt.Phillip Nov. 11 1844, landed 24 male emigrants from UK  no mention convicts although 200 bounty migrants arrived in Geelong 1842 that were transhipped into Regulas from Royal George. -  yet another confused, misinformed or completely wrong item from your wonderful collection of published rubbish??? ROYAL SHEPHERD> I SS  see Aust.Coastal Pass ships.

In 1864 sold to Joseph Darwent  and reg. Pt. Adelaide and usually employed in S.A.Coastal  serivces and by  1871, if not before reguar Pt.Adelaide-Pt.Lincoln ferry service  and was still in that trade when the spencerÆs gulf s.s. Co was formed in 1877 and when that company merged with Adelaide S S Co, remained in the Prt Linclon spencer gulf trades. In 1885 sold to sydney and ws placed in the coal trades  but not for long although reverted to collier in 1889 when acquired by the Warburton family. and in Jan.1890 sold to w.A.Firth. OÆMay and friends were correct, inasmuch that Paisley is in country Refrew, and for a while the ship was engaged in some form of sanitary work, unspecified, between  1886 and 1889 the rest of your entry,as usual, fairytales!!!

RUBY ON83721 your two entries contradict each other, it was either lost  in  1893, or not, you simply do not read your own entries û otherwise you could not produce such conflicting reports without comment  but your comments are usually wasted on unimportant, or pointless observations  And RUBY 83271, was built in 1882 according to Fremantle Customs so where did 1863 come from???

SARAH ANN, LOST Port Fairy 1836, I agree there is some doubt about the January vessel, but it could not be the 46 ton vessel which was a regular trader and also listed as arriving in February.  It is possible the report of vessel that name lost in January is a complete fabication. 
There is no registered vessel SARAH ANNE,  in the registers

SARAH SANDS, you have a remarkable knack of finding unusual events, you have it leaving  Sept. 1852, and arriving Melbourne 1851.  Are we producing a serious encylopedoia or are you writing a book about your own experiences?.   Comments such as here are quite unnecessary and ruin the  book for most people as it is a clear indication it is not to be taken seriously.  The Sarah Sands of the hotel had little or nothing to do with the ship the name probably being selected for quite unrelated reasons. The ship being named for the wife of one of the  owners of the Red Cross Line, who were Messrs T & J Sands. ON23921, built 1847  HODGSON & Sons, Liverpool 1300g,932n tons wrecked  April 7, 1869, Arrived melb dec 16,1852 from lpl  sept 19  then to sydney returns melb feb 5 1853 left for Plymouth feb. 11

Saxonia, I ss  as usual  ASN has been mutilated û must be some bug somewhere which will not allow proper spelling,  bought by Australasian s.N.Co, to prevent others using it against them and they thought it would suit the sydney-Rockhampton trade.  Having purchased the vessel ASN sold in 1869 to Wm.summberbell, well known owner of colliers on the Newcastle-sydney trade who employed the vessel in that trade but following his bankruptucy and the settlement of that situation and his death it was sold in 1896 to Newcastle Wallsend Colliery the owners when lost. Got ashore at Terrigal  May 1871 but was eventually refloated. Was built for the Dutch cattle trade between Holland and UK, then went to the Mauritius in the same trade, taken to Melbourne by  Capt.hadley who left her there to join the confederate warship shannondoah.

SECRET  top of page 819 is the vessel earlier reported lost in WA in 1904, do not know where this incorrect report comes from but it is very badly wrong. 
SEESTERN, another stupid comment. The vessel went missing in 1909 and there is no reason to question supposed wreckage found in 1911 even if the vessel was only declared missing late in 1909.You simply to do not understand what is written as is clear from absurd entries so often in this mess. 
SELCIRKSHIRE, another mutilated spelling for a vessel and only quoted by people usually wrong, why include it at all,??? 
BREEZE lost 1840s, more problems in understanding my use of the English language - why I do not know - it seems clear enouh to anyone else. But if you checked with your  entry for Breeze you would know what was going on, although the confused mess for Breeze doesnÆt help anyone much

Why do you enter it again a few entries down???

See Aust. Coastal Pass ships, and soon after arriving began in the Geelong trade, n 1858 and 59 was in the Melbourne Port albert trade, although Anderson tried to obtain a mail contract for a NZ coastal service in 1858. When the iron Thistle was placed on the Port albert trade he decided to send the vessel to far east for sale - had Anderson persevered against the Thistle he would have retained the trade because Thistle was wrecked soon after entering the Pt albert trade. The last word about her is in 1864  when in the Ningpo trade

SILVER CLOUD, , as usual you have renamed Union SS co of NZ as united shipping, just how or why or when you made this startling decision is beyond my comprehension but it appears  throughout!!!. It was broken up, in 1932  officially at least ON68550,  first reg  Australasia, at sydney in 1877,  then Napier in 1877, Auckland 1888, sold to Union company of NZ Ltd,1908 and made hulk at Hobart   and register closed

Sent overseas in 1855 looking for a buyer, and in October 1857 when in Rotterdam was sold to Geo Hopcroft of London, renamed CHASE AND ALTERED INTO A  whaler and sealer, and as such was crushed by ice in Davis Strait,  August 5,1860 etc etc I do not know how the Crimean war crops up but then so much twaddle appears in this so anything may be said without credulity. I am still utterly amazed to find that you can gather so much unreal rubbish and appear to believe it!!!!!.

SIR WILLIAM McPHERSON, A HARBOUR MASTER OF Melbourne Harbour Trust û just what does that mean?? Was he a harbour master of the port of Melbourne, or simply given a title to shut him up? Or was he the local office boy?  You may claim I do not make things clear but some of your reports are beyond understanding!!! 
SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTH   was converted to coal hulk upon sale in 1853 and custom register closd 1876 æbroken up date unknownÆ but when the fire in 1871 was reported it contained the remark that Capt.Deane had recently built a cottage on the deckà.

IT was not the first ship to steam in Australia  which was the SURPRISE, WHICH YOUR HOPELESS CONTRIBUTOR KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT û THIS IS A SUBJECT THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY COVERED IN MANY OTHER, MORE RELIABLE PUBLICATIONS INCLUDING asr!!! You most certainly DO NOT read what you print. You say æmay have returned to EnglandÆ and then prattle on about it being scrapped locally etc.etc. Hopleless useless and senseless.!!!  If you would really want to know about it perhaps you could spare the time to look at Australian Coastal Passenger ships and avoid such stupid  reports!

SPRINGBOK, on39343, said to have arrived in Geelong in 1854 is the wrong ship. It was first reg Melbourne  folio 41 of 1866 by her master  Henry Harrison, who in November 1872 took his vessel with passenger from Sandridge, bounf for northern territory gold rushes, and it was reported missing have left Newcastle. But it turned up at Port Darwin after a 40 day voyage,  when about to leave for the south again   and discharge some cargo at roper river, which was done, then toward the end of January dragged anchors and went ashore near Maria Is., bumping badly but was refloated and resumed an erratic course with the owner/master apparently either mad, drunk, or trying to wreck the vessel. Upon arrival at Somerset a naval court was held  March 8 -11th 1873 to hear charges brought against the captain, and the court found he was unable to continue in command and the board then appointed sub.lt Waters of HMS Basilisk to take the ship to Brisbane, where it arrived may 11 after a very protracted voyge when scurvy and disintary appears   while the vessel was fighting the monsoonal weather. In Nov. 1874 was acquired by Paterson & Co and made a coal hulk

as so often the case in this disaster û when faced with two or more ships of the same name catastrophe takes control  - SWAN. YOUR INTRODUCTION AND COLLECTION OF  MISINFORMATION  OR INABILTY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SO CALLED RESEARCHERS WROTE appears in the worst cocktail yet to be printed û FOR INSTANCE the æSWAN which arrived in Hobart in 1837 was in fact named SWAN RIVER PACKET BUILT IN Bombay in 1801 AND nothing to do with the SWAN which became a pilot vessel. That one arrived from Liverpool July 18,1853 and was said to be 40 tons, although when registered  as folio 174/1853 (MY TYPO 1854) it was said to be 36 tons. That vessel was built in Waterford, Ireland in 1845 and was wrecked in NZ in 1865. The SWAN, run down by ss Queensclife was built in tas in 1862 and stranded apollo bay in 1882 and was first registered melbourne Jan.1868 by J.B.Lock  I cannot, from your very confused report, decide who has gone mad with this concotion but it surely is a lovely exhibition of the sort of rubbish your collection of misinformation  contains. You then follow with a catalogue of MORE misinformation.  And the whole pile of rubbish is so mangled it would be better to toss it out as it only demonstrates your foolish acceptance of misinformation in lieu of a little checking of readily available material.  All the other refs to Lock etc., are for the same vessel built in 1862. He was associated with a Janson who was owner for a while of the vessel. Had you taken the time to consult the various arrivals books you list in the biblography but have apparently NEVER used, you would not need to make such a foolishly stupid report.  And your Swan(4) entry is  mixture of all the others above û how on earth can you expect anyone to believe this pile of rubbish through their laughter, is beyond belief, although it is highly unlikely any person seriously interested in maritime history will have suffered this concoction this far.  There was NO swan built in France arriving anywhere in 1837 û that is just sheer speculation from someone who took absolutely no care to try and see what did arrive.  The Noble character was obviously too lazy to check properly û there was a state library in Melbourne even is his day - and needs to have his brain read. û he didnÆt know what he was looking at but wrote what he wanted to have happen probably taking it from another unimportant. secondary source, and should be dismissed as utterly useless. 
SWANSEA w SS B.1877  and suffered the accident on its delivery to Sydney where it was intended to be employed on the Watsons bay Ferry service, it had a long life and was renamed Federal in 1901 
SWIFT 129  YOUR  PATRONISING CORRECTION OF Capt,GwatkinÆs name  is further evidence of your unwillingness to consult books you list and is uncalled for. The family are frequently mentioned in early Tasmanian records such as shipping arrivals etc.

SYLPH, ON32395 your infallable compilers are at again, this vessel was constructed by Henry Ed.Fisk, at Brisbane Water. The SYLPH built in 1845 in North Sydney was sold sold foreign at Fiji in 1850. and was said to be dandy rigged  Mr.Field acquired the vessel Feb.1869 according to her register the SYLPH, built by  Benj.Davis was constructed in 1861 û which demonstrates how some  ædippersÆ into the records are led astray.  û see your next entry for the 1861 effort 
SYLVAN, IS CORRET BUT IS FOLLOWED BY A VESSEL WITH FULL INFORMATION FOR Sylvan but with name mutilated.i.e, SYLVANE without an engine, although I do not have any reference to that happening, you should see my Port of Maryborough.

And of course you sunk the second steamer in 1925, instead of the first û just how confused can anyone become???? You certainly manage to confuse any sensible reader

TAMAR, HERE WE GO AGAIN, UTTER CONFUSION ON THE PART OF THE EDITOR because there are some vessels of the same name!!!!!!!!!!. 
Tamar  w ps, built 1833 Pt Glasgow for proposed Tamar s.N.Co û see also Austral Coastal Pass ships. As you have all the ownershps jumbled, confused and not very clear  and then decend into complete and utter confusion  with your additions by such a collection of unreliable writers only making things much worse. 
TAMAR ON 32216,  WAS BUILT BY  Wm.Patterson, not Petersen And was originally  reg as 119 tons, altered in 1858 to 109 
TAMAR ISS  453 tons, in 1882 to Sydney owners see Ast Coastal Pass ships,  last confirmed reference 1925 when hulk offered for sale Apparently along the way none of your fancied compilers of myth have noticed there was a tug built in 1854 named TAMAR  for the Launceston harbour board which was obviously engaged in some of the things you wish to credit to the wooden tug - what a mess some people do weave when they do not take the trouble to consider or understand all available material - a barque this name  said to be lost in 1874 was NOT owned in Australia, if the incident ever happened 
TAMBARORA Iss laid down as a gunboat but brought on the stocks,  Stranded the morning of March 23, 1877 on a reef n w of th solataries, NSW coast, the pumps were kept going until she reached the Clarence river where temporariy repairs were made to enable her to comnplete the trip to Brisbane

Operated all round australia and particularly noted for association with the building of the Australian overland telegraph and berthing in the Roper River, N.T. and just why do you duplicate.??? Just to waste space I suppose û that seems to be the general idea in this disaster.

TASMA, lost  1846, was actually named TASMAN, Q V 
Tasman,  built 1847 was sold to English buyers in 1854. 
TASMAN KETCH, AFTER A LENGTHY ITEM INCLUDING REFERENCE TO ALLEGED SINKING IN 1877 YOU REPEAT A ONE LINER SAYING IT WAS LOST in 1877 û JUST WHAT DO YOU WISH TO CONVEY TO ANYONE?????/ EDITING? THERE IS JUST NO TRACE OF IT AT ALL IN THIS HORRIBLE APOLOGY FOR A REFERENCE BOOK HOWEVER IT IS AS ALWAYS WHEN YOU ARRIVE  WITH A SHIP NAME THAT IS POPULAR - CONFUSION RULES. 
TASMANIA (the wooden Tasmania), arrived Port phillip Dec.13,1852, from Batavia  the first American owned steamer to visit Melbourne. - she came in the hope of making money out of the gold rushes. And in april 1853 was renamed when purchased by the newly formed Victoria & Tasmania s.n.Co but was never free from engine trouble.,the Vic & tas company failed and the vessel was sold and re-reg in Hobart in Jan.1855 prior to leaving for England for disposal -  as usual one of your ægoodÆ compilers sent her to Sydney for the coal trade but no contemporary reference has been discovered to support his claim  you could get some more information  from Aust.Coastal Pass ships etc.etc.etc. 
TASMANIA Iss and we really go off the board. Lanarkshire England û ha ha ha!!! Built as a collier - desperately incorrect, designed and intended as a first class passenger vessel. But why go further your entry completely mad û see Aust. coastal pass ships etc. and only when sold away from Tasmania did it begin to work as a collier.

THE Brothers, was registered simply as BROTHERS, and while it did make some trips to Manly can hardly be called the first ferry to Manly, it was used everywhere on Port Jackson as the owners saw fit. 
THE HUNTRESS was never known as such, just poor research, someone wrote about the HUNTRESS.  It was NOT a success as a ferry and ended up in New Zealand as you vaguely report under that name 
The PENGUIN YET ANOTHER TRANSCRIBING ERROR, IT WAS THE STEAMER penguin, NOT A STEAMER NAMED The Penguin!!!!!!! 
THISTLE owned by Hentys at one time, - your story so far from reaility it may be consigned to the fairytale department  - I QUOTE FROM THE CUSTOM HOUSE REGISTER -  57 &55/94ths tons,  52Æ6 x 16..3 x 8.11 and half inches. Built 1825 repeat 1825 Fort Gloster w 2m schooner and when reg Launceston in 1832 was said to be formerly of Calcutta where it had been enrolled Apl.17 1828. in August 1832, enrolled Launceston by James Henty having arrived Launceston Jan. 1832 from the Swan River so your pile of piffle just romantic  fiction. Yet you copy mine without comment apart from indicating I do not know what I am talking about û so much for a helpful encylopedia û where confusion is the theme of the whole work 
THISTLE IPS LOST Port Albert, better get Love to write to the Melbourne newspapers seeing he disagrees wth their contemporary reporting. The papers reporting it had left for Pt.Albert Dec. 21 û just where do your marvellous compilers get their information????? û it looks as though many, if not all, write the æinformationÆ to suit their desires, not the facts!!!!!!!!

THOMPSONS OF  1837 was registered as THOMSONS so it should be thus listed with all the variations following- if there was any editorial work on this book û which clearly there was NOT. 
THORWALDSON  (a different spelling   per press to your entry) - w SHIP  907/850 Capt.A.Birnie, arrived Pt.Phillip Nov. 11,1852 from Liverpool, with 334 pasengers

Anderson,  Maiden voyage to Auckland left Gravesend,  Nov.4,1876, with a very young master, aged 24 years, appointed, according to gossip,because his father had an interest in the ship, but it made a good voyage arriving AUCKLAND feb.8, 1877. According to Brett, in ÆWhite winGsÆ  went to Newcastle for coal and then vanished (LUR 1877 æWhite WingsÆ)

TILBA,  while owned by the Illawarra Company was employed full time on the south coast trades, you possibly meant to indicate when built it was going to be on the northern rivers trade, but then, as so often happens in this mismanaged disaster, you forgot to tell anyone

TINANA S ss  1901 obtained for seasonal sugar trade out of Maryborugh and usually always on Qld coast, in 1925 to  Collin & sons for the same service, then to John burke in 1933 for the sydney-North Qld route formerly serviced by ss Cannonbar in 1946 sold to China but drops out of Lloyds in 1950 which usually means it was demolished

No further information and register closed 1953,  ASN used it on bar harbour work and for some time operated between Brisbane and Maryborough 
TIRRANA Dantzig may have ended up as part of germany but it was NOT german when this vessel was built. Agree I have made an error in dates ûthe same you have constantly performed through this book.

TITUS I SS OF 1878, WHEN ACQUIRD BY Burns,Philp in 1896 was the first vessel in the fleet û just what drugs was someone on when they printed that remarkable story??? The vessel was acquired by Melbourne owners in 1884  and became a hulk for BP at Vila in 1908 and was scuttled in 1919. The accident in 1907 involved the vessel KADINA, NOT AS PRINTED. AND WHILE YOU HAVE HER SCUTTLED IN 1918, YOU LATER DECIDE THAT 1911 LOOKS BETTER???????

TRIAL  LOST  May 1861, but you also suggest others found it was wrecked in 1824, which would be rather difficult seeing it was only built in 1837, but then you do such wonferful things

From the rest of your strange collection I can report there was NO rr No vessel this name registered as built Manning river in 1844 or one named Ben Boyd so your compilers were very misled by the problems that beset this vessel. Which first came to Austalasia a Auckland in 1847 then moved to Hobart, Melbourne, Newcastle  and sydney I can sort out the mess as I have collected ALL registrations around the place and can match them up. The vessel this name stranded Port Fairy, is this vessel also reported stranded Portland which did not happen - the Pt.fairy accident happened March 3, refloated April 26

TRUGANINA -  YOU ARE SO RIGHT  - YOU ARE UTTERLY CONFUSED.  That the early shipbuilders/owners chose to spell a word differently should not cause you to get lost in a mumble of meaningless explanations that do nothing to help anyone. Yap yap yap like a little dog when something crops up that you are unable or unwilling to understand. 
TRUGANINA,  which you award to 1846 was actually -  named TRUGANINI  AND WAS = w 2M KT 40t  on57574 BUILT B1876 RR 1876  Franklin, and was a acquired by J.B.Lock of Melb in 1888 who died and his execs sell to  E.J.Janssen of Phillip Is and he immediately sold to south australia and you will find the loss in my book 
TRUGANINI STEAMER entry  is the vessel you later list in some detail, even if that entry is up that same well known creek as many of your other entries. û of  course you must swing into your unnecessary dissatation about the name û how to waste time and space, let alone money, is wonderfully exhibited in this load of tripe. For some better information you could look at Australian coastal Pass Ships etc.  in aprll 1879 sold to B B Nicoll for the sydney-Northern rivers trade,then considered for Brisbane û north qld trade and in April 1882 to James  Burns, and was announced for work out of Brisbane, and when Burns succeeded in forming Queensland Stm Shipping Co, the vessel was transfered to that fleet and when that copany became AUSN the vessel remained working around Qld,  conducting mail services etc. until  AUSN obtained a contract to conduct a Sydney-Noumea mail service and sent truganini to the islands to conduct an inter-island feeder service. Etc.etc.etc. 
Your next entry is completely confused with your earlier attempt  for 1846, which see to explain  how this later one came into being - It seems once you come to a name used by more than one vessel utter and complete confusion attacks and you enter a dark room and chase every shadow about!!! 
TRUSTY  built 1874 Phillip Is, why two lengthy items about the same small vessel.- Which was built in fact in 1877 according to its registration -- more unlikely hoo haa. The Williams attempt was for another vessel built in 1864 at Dunedin and always working thereabouts  As per my book

VENUS  of 1890 would seem  more likely to have been the vessel that descrition and tonnage Cumpston lists as arriving 1810 û I do not know how your various reference books can get everything so ballsed up, but they do, or else you mutilate them by extremely bad copying. = VENUS  capt.Eber Bunker,  350 reg. Calcutta arrived Feb. 27,1810 from calcutta, but no mention of shoes. 
VENUS, built Melbourne, has nothing to do with the advert in SMH,which, had you understood (or if you read it) you should have realised it referred to the vessel you list above, built in Pt.Adelaide and lost at Pt.Stephens û ah well I know nothing makes sense in this epic of misunderstood, misread or otherwise utterly ignorant and confused ficton but you seem to need to include pointless or childish comment on the most unlikely bits.

WARIA  NO TRACE 
WARIALTA  no trace,, anything this name 
WARILDA s TSS    SEE AUST COASTAL PASS SHIPS,   - Dalmuir is in Scotland along the Clyde river should you care to consult a map. And you overlooked an earlier attempt to torpedo her which failed to cause damage. 
WARLINGTON. Iron paddle steamer, never heard of it and cannot imagine what name has been mutilated beyond belief, but there was never anything like that working on sydney harbour. The nearest being WASHINGTON  but I cannot guess how it came to read warlington 
WAROOKA  I ss  216g ON89401, B.1883 Paisley, did very well to arrive in south Australia before that colony had been created/settled, i.e, 1833, just another slight slip of the finger by this marvellous typist who can hardly type and does not read very well either. Sold away from the SA gulf trades in 1918 to Townsville ec.etc. 
WAROONGA<  see aust coastal pas ships,  S ss  ON86749  B.1882 for British India Associated steamers, to operate on the queensland royal Mail line, and from the very first sometimes made coastal voyages in australia and in 1888 loaned to  AUSn, to meet competition and transferred next year to the company and remained in the coastal trades until transferred toBISN in 1900 û which after all were simply name changes seeing the owners of BISN also controlled the other two companies 
WAHROONGA  torpedoed  april 5, 1943, and sank on the 6th 
WARRANT,  is a mutilation of the name of previous entry 
WARREGO ss SEE AUST.COASTAL PASS SHIPS,  BUILT FOR QUEENSLAND Stm Shippign Co., which was one of the  partners to form AUSN 
WARRENTINNA W ss SEE AUST COASTAL PASS SHIPS, VARIOUS TONNAGES RANGING FROM FIRST OF  144/1002 TO 162   when reg in Sydney in 1918. Syd reg closed 1950 when no trace could be found of ship or owner and it was noted it was thought it had been broken up about 1930. 
WARRIMOO, was never owned by Huddart Parker, James Huddart, one of the partners of tht company was also interested in the A& NZ Trans-pacific service  and helped form the   NZ & Aust SS Co, which passed away 
WARTALT û the same mystery as the warialta  but nothing remotely near these names officially reported, so if it happened they were either unregistered or foreign 
WARUNG,  W ss tug, b.1884 30/10  while sunk in 1906, raised, repaired, hulked in 1930, and used on the harbour until sold in1949 for demolition 
WASHINTON I PS,  192 TONS, b.1844 Leith,Scotland, arrived Melbourne early 1854 and intended for use as a tug at the Rip, probably unsuitable and sold to sydney November 1854,  and sometimes used in excursions and ferry work to Manly which is possibly the strange vessel noted earlier,  sold and arrived shanghai june 23 1862 and under US flag worked on the rivers out of shanghai, returned british reg in Hong kong in 1865 under the name GORILLA  AND THAT REG CLOSED July 1866 on sale foreign 
WATCMAN, UNREGISTERED 
Water lily. Alleged to have arrived Melbourne July 4, 1841 û nothing with a name remotely like that arrived  that year  WATER LILY built 1839 arrived July  23, 1840 from London  which became folio 18 of 1840 in sydney but no mentionof G.w. Cole  although he appears as agent for two immigrant ships that arrived in August 1840 û another wild goose chase by some of your fairytale fiction writers.??? 
WATER LILY  I TSS excursion steamer b.1878 Rutherglen, imported by proprietors of West Australian Steam Packet & TRanspot Com for use as excursion steamer but the company failed and  in May 1898 sold to the timber company who used it to tow vessels but also used as a steam powered lighter to convey timber to sailing ships. Etc.etc. 
WATERWITCH  w 3M BQ,  253T 1860 û 236 b.1820 AS hms falcon, SOLD OUT  1838  so the falcon of 1839 another warship not this one, or the date, as so often, is wrong. And story about pirates etc, all wrong.  The vessel arrived sydney Dec, 23, 1841 from the sperm fishery Capt.Christie, and reported losing 8 men when at Apapam,  left for the fishery Feb. 23, 1842, and was pirated by ex chief officer KING,and MASTER OF  faith, at Lord Howe Island March 23. (Faith, Francis john Kinfg,FAITH  bgn/sch nov 2 1841  ex fishery and left march 1842 new master, so King was only formerly of Faith when the pirating took place. First reg sydney 1853 by parties interested in whaling,  May 1860 to John Macarthur, Hobart, and upon his death in 1875 sold to Alex McGregor 
WATERWITCH, BULT 1831, AND OF COURSE THAT Chester is in England  and the story about the gold coin, if true must relate to anohter of that name or else that contributor is as bonkers as so many of yours have been  Then later on you have the correct vessel with the money, ho ho ha ha, the editor really stands out  - but in a way that demonstrates his gross incompetence.!!! 
WATTEMBACH, and so called collision, another wonderful example of  mistaken identity, poor research, or sheer stupidity.   The vessel concerned  was 
MATILDA WATTENBACH, which arrived April 27,1854 from Liverpool with immigrants and passengers, that ran foul of a vessel in Bay of Biscay and returned to port for repairsà. 
WELLINGTON  I SS 364/262:  1877 383/279Æ 1884 4429/262. ON40324, B.1863 Blackwood & Gordon, Port Glasgow, for N.Z. S.N.Co, reg.Wellington folio 2 of 1864.: 1877 to Union S S CO reg.Dunedin:  1881 Northern SS Co, reg closed Jan1.1910 with æhulked in auckland by George NicollÆ

WERFA  I SS  COLLIER, . first in Aust at Sydney 1898  for  Bellambi Coal Co., reg. closed 1913 û hulked, and reg Melbourne 
WEST AUSTRALIAN, two vessels same name, and both muddled up û not strange in this book where it happens all the time but   the vessel lost  Haapi  was not the one reg later in New Zealand, as you will find should you read my reports  but apparently not simple enough for you to understand û I must improve my presentation of words  down to the present unintelligent level prevailing. 
The WEST Hartleys û more and more confusion.  They were built to deliver coal from a mine on Lake Macquarie hence the centre board but I donÆt feel inclined to dip into this quagmire. 
WEST WIND  W SS VERY WOBBLY STORY, BUT  IT WAS NOT THE SECOND American built steamer to arrive Prt PHillip see  Rajah Wallie, however  will abandon it/. 
WESTERN I SS, see aust.coastal pass ships. ON48414 Built  1861 Mitchell & CO, Low walker, so built in Northumberland is more correct than Newcastle û Walker on Tyne is  below Newcastle, but in the county of Northumberland.. Built to the order of s.G.Henty, 1874 sold to sydney employed in rate wars on the Queensland coast for a time, by 1900 had become a collier 
WESTERN BELLE, if the position of her loss is wrong tell the newspaper which printed it. 
WESTERN STAR built 1855 , The marine board of enquiry into her loss quotes the master as Wilhelm wolshe despite the customs in Sydney writing his name as William Walsh. The vessel was first reg sydney in 1863 
WESTOE HALL  Weston Hall, nothing like this name(s)  sunk in Feb.1917 according to official war loss list, or at any other time But it may be WESTONBY torpedoed April 15,1917  195 miles  south west by south of the Fastnet 
WESTLAND, of shaw savill (why to you always put an E n that name which was dropped before the man joined the shipping company???) must have happened early in the 20th cenury I can trace her visits to NEW Zealand up till 1900. see æwhite wingsÆ 
WESTRALIA  TSMV, JUST WHY TWO ENTRIES offering two different builder yards? Etc.etc. I believe there was supposed to be an editor but I have yet to see any evidence of one hitting the pages of this dreadful exhibition of how not to print a book. 
WHITE BAY,  SYDNEY TO Lake Macquarie, and lost in stockton Bight??? We really were in trouble in a big way considering the local geography. 
WHITE PINE, I 3m bq,  to Auckland owners feb.1899 as QUATHLAMBA, renamed HAZEL CRAIG in 1905,  REG TRANS TO syDNEY 1908 AS Hazel Craig, RENAMED white pine, Jan. 1916, 1922 to Melbourne register  and Jas Paterson as a coal hulk. Etc.etc. 
WHITE STAR, made first visit to Melbourne in 1855 and thence annualy for a number of years and visited after intermittently until at least 1867, and made one voyage via Hong Kong to deliver chinese workers to Melbourne, sold in 1867  detail of ship = W ship,  built 1854 by W.& r.Wright, St.John, New Brunswick  and launched as BLUE JACKET,but renamed before completion when the builders became minor partners with props of white star Line. Reg tonnage 2339 tons Wrecked on the Tuskar while on passage from Calcutta to Liverpool  December 24, 1883 having left Calcutta July 31st  but the rest of your entry OK 
WHITE SWAN, isS FOR FULL DETAIL OF OWNERSHIPS SEE Aust.Coastal Pass. ships, and while McMeckan Blackwood never owned the vessel they were sometimes agents in Melbourne 
WHITE PINE, again, why???? 
WIARAPURa  wonderful mutilation by yet another of your more hopeless contributors.   The incident took place Feb.20, 1884, and the Union liner was WAIRARAPA  - you do like to quote from the most unreliable writers

WILLIAM  ship capt Wm Folger from London, cork and rio march 10 1794   same number of barrels as year of arriving??Strange, to say the least 
WILLIAM, and all that blather from Lawson.  There was NO registered vessel this name built in 1827, but the vessel built in 1835, at Launceston was originally inscribed 149 tons, and  then in 1844 was altered to read 121 tons and of course at the end of all this rubbish you list the 62/63 tons vessel in SMH of 1855 which has abolustely nothing to do with any of the above!!!   That one Was built  in 1843   Manning River that was registered   Sydney that was wrecked in NZ in 1866 
WILLIAM THE FOURTH, WHICH CAPT Steine joined in May 1831 was û 129 tons, altered in 1833 = 199 tons, built 1831 Macquarie Harbour  and taken by the govt, until sold to  Thomas Horne & others, for ú1375, and it was reg as folio 12 of 1831, I cannot even begin to speculate where your 225 tons came from although there was another William about that size appear later in the early years. The demise of which you will find in my book 
WILLIAM AND JAMES, YOUR SMALL CUTTER, WAS THE VESSEL IMMEDIATELY ABOVE, WHICH WAS OFFERED FOR SALE WHEN IT RETURNED FROM New Zealand,  the first owner sold to  Auckland in March, and it returned to sydney Feb.1851 
WLLIAM AND JOHN,  no such vessel, however  WILLIAM JOHn, b. 1876 williamstown, reg Launceston in 1898 24 tons by J H E Griffiths, the reg of which was closed 1920 with broken up 
WILLIAM AND MARTHA,  ARRIVED Melbourne April 8, 1855,  when master charged with murder. She had 275 chinese passengers in the steerage.  This vessel was later reg in sydney by Robert Towns 381t, b.1829 USA and probably already owned by Towns when this incident happened.

WILLIAM PARSONS  no vessesl this name registered, no Wlliam pearson  and despite your references, SYME does not list anything like that either 
WILLIAM PHILLIPS  no trace

WILLIAMS  IPS  see aust coastal pass ships û amazing how much you can turn up when a vessel gets to Melbourne - the rest of her life hardly matters û not that we are parochial or one eyed or anything, it is just that we have so much rubbish available about Victoria there is no room for anything else û nothing about a visit to New Zealand for example,

Editor asleep or drugged or something?
