ship James Jardine, 810 tons, Captain George Jenkins, from Plymouth 19th February 1859, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 29th June 1859

. . . . — 3rd ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1859 ; —5— births and —6— deaths on the passage ; Dr. James Sheridan Hughes, surgeon-superintendent.

The South Australian Advertiser, Thursday 30 June 1859

The James Jardine arrived as reported above, concluding her voyage in 131 days from Liverpool. The Captain reports that during the voyage not 10 days' fair sailing wind have prevailed. Under any circumstances this vessel, from her antique build, would not be likely to make a smart voyage. Much easterly weather prevailing during the latter part of the voyage caused her to come down as far as latitude 47 deg. south. The equator was crossed on April 5, and the meridian of the Cape on May 21. Nothing transpired during the whole voyage worthy of further remark than what has been stated, with the additions of the vessels spoken. ....

In the Reports by the Emigration Officer, Dr. Duncan, there was often mention made in regard to Nominee's or General Emigrants ; the list below made a special effort to separate those into two lists, so, I have combined these but made notations alongside the family name, thus, General Emigrants = GE and Nominee = N. — Robert
