Arrivals at the Port of Quebec, 1827
The following information on arrivals, due to the condition
of the papers, has been taken from
various sources including the Montreal Gazette MG, the
U.E. Loyalist UEL and
the Canadian Courant & Montreal Advertiser CC.
note: if
ships' rigging or name of Master unpublished, it is indicated by -- (The newspapers
were often
filmed within their binding, making one side of some entries, unreadable, or
only partly legible. This can lead to errors in the interpretation of the entry
or missed entries. ) Be aware that there may be two or more ships of the same
name, from the same, or different ports, during the same year. A few ships also
made two trips in 1827.

There was a dreadful storm along the coasts
bordering the Irish Channel which lasted several days. The packet
ship Panthea, from New York for Liverpool, was
stranded in attempting to make a harbor in Holyhead Bay, on the
14th January, 20th day out—her sails having all been blown
from the yards in a tremendous gale off the Head. The passengers
and crew were all saved, as were some of her letters, and one
box of gold. The cargo consisted of between 10 and 11,000 bushels
of Indian corn, about 300 bales of cotton, about 100 barrels
of apples and 2 boxes of gold. The ship, freight, and most of
the cargo, were insured New York. The letter bags saved, reached
Liverpool previous to the sailing of the Britannia.

Interior Navigation by Steam:—
On Friday se'nnight the Marquis of Wellesley steamboat,
built to tow boats and carry passengers, arrived at the canal
harbour,
Limerick, from Dublin, attended by two of her fly-boats. This
is the first instance of the application of steam to interior
navigation in Ireland, and will remedy the defect arising from
the difficulty and uncertainty of crossing, by the craft hitherto
in use, the broad waters of the Shannon above Killaloe. This
vessel will, in almost all weathers, be able to take her own
cargo and tow her fly-boats across the lake and thus ensure the
certain delivery of goods both here and in Dublin, within regular
given periods. She is very neatly fitted up for the accomodation
of passengers, and we have no doubt but many persons will avail
themselves of this delightful and easy mode of conveyance, to
visit those parts of the country hitherto little known, from
want of easy access, particularly the bold and majestic scenery
of Lough Derg, when the weather shall become more favourable
for such excursions. This boat was built at the Horseley works,
in Staffordshire, and has been constructed under the superintendence
of Mr. John Grantham, and at his sole expense. A number of distinguished
individuals sailed with her on her first trip, and she was welcomed
to the waters of the Shannon by vast numbers of admiring spectators. |

Steamboat Accident:—
Yesterday afternoon, after the steambaot Montreal arrived at
Longueuil, one of the boilers burst and scalded a fireman of
the name of Scott in such a manner, that no hopes are entertained
for his life. |
|
|
|
Steam Boats:—
Yesterday about nine o'clock in the morning, the Steam Boat Edmund
Henry, arrived in port from her winter quarters. This
is the first arrival this spring, and is two days earlier than
last year, the Laprairie having arrived here on the 13th. Since
which the Waterloo, Montreal and Lady
of the Lake have arrived,
and others are hourly expected. The Edmund Henry has commenced
running to Laprairie from this side every day, at 10 am and
4 pm and leaves Laprairie at half past 6 am and half past 1
pm. |
|
|
|
Weather:—
The fine mild weather which we have had, since our last, has
entirely freed our streets from snow and ice, and considerably
reduced the quantity in the river.—The Champ de Mars
is now completely dry, and we are happy to find that the troops
have commenced their daily exercise. |
|
|
April 16th - MG |
A London paper of the 21st February says—" Reports
have reached town, through the North-west Company, that Captain
Franklin had accomplished the objects of his overland expedition,
and had fallen in with, and embarked on board his Majesty's
ship Blossom, which had been for the purpose of meeting him
in Behring's Straits. It is added that some of the party who
were with him had retraced their steps by their original route.
"
|
|
|
|
Steam Boats.—
Since our last the Quebec and the New Swiftsure Steam Boats have
arrived in port, which with the steam boats and some river
craft again presents the appearance of activity. The Waterloo steam boat set off yesterday morning for Quebec. She is very
neatly fitted up for the accomodation of passengers only. |
|
|
|
Lachine Canal.—
Owing to some repairs that were deemed necessary to be made on
the Canal, the water was not let in till this morning. A large
Durham boat, the Gull, from Ogdensburgh, has already come through
loaded with flour and live hogs. |
|
|
|
Canal Promenade.—
We regret to notice, that many of the trees planted last fall,
on the banks of the Lachine Canal, by the aid, we believe,
of a subscription of a few individuals, who had taste and spirit
enough to appreciate the value of this delightful promenade
;—have lately been wantonly destroyed. We are likewise
afraid, that many of the remaining trees have not taken root,
owing perhaps to their having been taken from the forest, rather
than from the more congenial soil and situation of a nursey
ground. We hope the Canal Commissioners, and those who have
already done so much to improve this walk, will immediately
have the dead trees replaced, before the season is too far
advanced for transplanting, with hopes of success. |
|
|
April 16th - MG |
Lights of the River.—
We understand it is in contemplation to place Lights in several
parts of the river, between Quebec and Montreal, which may
enable vessels and steamboats to proceed at all hours without
the frequent interruptions to which they are now liable. It
is expected that the expence of these useful establishments
will be defrayed from a fund which has been accumulating for
some years past, from tonnage duty levied on all Steam-boats
navigating this part of the St. Lawrence. . . . . . |
|
|
|
Steam Boats.—
The Hercules, George Brush, Master, arrived from Sorel on Tuesday
afternoon with freight and passengers, she came through the
Current in fine style ; her Cabins and State Rooms have been
neatly painted and are well calculated to afford every comfort
and convenience to passengers.
The Captains appointed to the different boats running between
this [Montreal] and Quebec are as follows:— Tow-boat
Hercules, Brush,— Swiftsure, Perry,— Waterloo,
Nickless,— Quebec, Richardson,— Chambly,
C. Armstrong,— Richelieu, Franchere,— LaPrairie,
Morin.
The new Tow-boat John Molson, now on the stocks,
we learn is to be launched on the 5th proximo [5th May]. She
will have
two engines 60 horsepower each, and will probably be the finest
and best vessel of this kind afloat upon the St. Lawrence.
She is to be commanded by Captain Jesse Armstong. |

April 23rd - MG |
The Java Packet from Batavia, went down off
Flushing, and the whole of her crew, consisting of 30 souls,
were doomed to
a watery grave, with the exception of the pilot, who contrived
to save himself. She had on board 8000 bags of coffee, which
are all gone. She was insured at Lloyd's.
The British ship Marmion, Captain Petrie, from
Liverpool to Calcutta, with a cargo valued at from 60 to 70,000,
was abandoned at sea on the 15th February, having started a butt.
The crew and passengers were saved by the British ship Garland. |
|
|
May 3rd - MG |
Lake Erie Boats.—
The Steam Boats on Lake Erie have formed into a regular line
for the conveyance of passengers the ensuing season. The Superior was to have left Buffalo on Saturday se'nnight.
A line of post coaches has been established between Niagara
and Ancaster, Upper Canada. It is stated in the St. Catherine's
Journal, that this line will be extended to Sandwich, opposite
to Detroit. |

Quebec, May 3rd. |
The number of Emigrants who have already arrived at this
port is about 1500, and preparations both from Ireland and
Scotland were making at commencement of April, for the embarkation
of thousands at the expense of the emigrant himself. Indeed
from what we have heard, we might almost say that the larger
number of poor Manufacturers in Glasgow and Paisley are only
prevented from coming out by the want of means. From Ireland
thousands are coming out on their own account. Government
have given information that 16,000 will be immediately sent
out at its expense. We suppose that 25,000 emigrants will
arrive this season.
The number of vessels arrived in port is now near 70. Many
of them have had passages of between 18 and 22 days ; which
we believe almost without example. Some of them had not an
hour's contrary wind from leaving the British port to their
anchoring here. The passages were generally pleasant. In
the river, however, the wind was extremely violent on Tuesday.
It was impossible at one time to carry sail. Some of the
vessels which arrived here that evening, were off Gaspé on
Monday morning, and passed Bic at 6 o'clock AM on Tuesday.
Some islands of ice were seen on the Banks of Newfoundland,
and a little field of ice on the Cape Breton shore, but it
was not considerable enough to offer any obstruction. |
|
Seventy-one vessels have arrived in port, and a great many
are reported to be at hand. Last year, up to the 7th May,
there were only five arrivals from sea. |
|
The Montreal, Captain Udney, arrived a
few hours ago in 18 days from Liverpool (14½ days
from Cape Clear) bringing us papers of the 12th April, with
London dates of the 10th inclusive. |
|
The Rob Roy, Kenn, 24 days from Belfast, drove ashore near
the parish of L'Islet on the night of the 30th ultimo and
has become a total wreck ; the Captain and crew were saved,
but we are concerned to learn that about 30, of 150 settlers,
were washed overboard by the heavy sea. Captain Kenn has
come to town. |
|
Wreck of the Rob Roy |
The Steam-boat Waterloo, returned yesterday
forenoon from the wreck of the Rob Roy with
70 of her passengers ; the remainder had proceeded for Quebec
by land. The total number of settlers embarked in the Rob
Roy at Belfast, amounted to 151, out of which 8
men, two women, and 19 children perished on board at L'Islet,
where the vessel stranded. The bodies were all taken on shore
and buried on Thursday morning. The accounts from the brig
are very distressing. One passenger (Frank Chrasty),
lost his wife and three children ; another (David McGarrow),
out of four children lost three, the one saved is deaf and
dumb, aged about four years. Thomas Miller, who
had come out to settle with friends at York, U.C. lost two
children, his sister-in-law (Mrs Lamb), with seven
children, lost her husband and one child. The latter family
had property on board worth nearly five hundred pounds, the
whole of which is lost, and not a farthing insured. The vessel
is a total wreck. Many of the settlers which have come up
from the wreck, have been in respectable circumstances, several
having embarked with considerable property. The Emigrant
Society, we understand, the most deserving objects to their
several destinations.— They met with every assistance
from the Canadian Inhabitants near the spot where the disaster
occured.—Quebec Mercury |
|
On Thursday morning, while one of the hands on board the
Cherub was reefing the top-gallant sail, that vessel being
at anchor opposite Three Rivers, the mast broke and the unfortunate
young man fell from the mast head and was almost instantly
killed. He was 19 years of age, from Greenock, and of the
name John Smith. |

Mr. Chapman, a passenger in the Harriet,
has arrived at Quebec. The H. went ashore on
Monday last, but is not much damaged, and was expected to be
soon got off.
Most of the regular London and Liverpool traders have arrived.
A number of vessels with passengers from Cork, Belfast and Dublin,
which sailed for this port early in April have not yet come up.
The total shipping, owing to the low rate of freight and other
causes, is not expected to be so great this season as last. |

Since the opening of the Lachine Canal which took place on
the 16th ultimate about 130 Durham and other boats have passed
the Locks, upwards, while there have been but 50 through the
Canal from Lachine to this place.—Courant
On Sunday last, the Steam boat St. Andrew crossed
the River between Lachine and Caughnawaga. This is the first
time that a Steam boat has crossed that place ; but from the
uncommon height of the water in the St. Lawrence she found no
great difficulty in accomplishing it.—Courant |
|
The Court opened at 9am . . . . . At the same time they returned
No Bills on Indictments against Samuel King, Joseph Moore, and
Elizabeth Briand, for feloniously conveying two small saws, one
small auger and one small file into the Common Gaol for the District
of Montreal, in order to facilitate the escape of a prisoner

Tuesday, May 15.— Mr. Lambly, the Harbour Master,
returned, we understand, some days ago from and examined the
river between this city and Montreal, for the purpose of placing
beacons or lights to assist steamboats and vessels sailing between
the two ports.
It is intended in consequence, we have been informed to place
a light upon Grosse-Isle at the easterly entrance of
the river Richelieu—two lights on the high land above the
Platon, to be kept in a line running to and from the
West entrance of the channel—and two lights also to be
kept in a line to steer clear of the south end of the batture
d'Abigon.
These lights will occasion steam and other vessels to run without
danger in clear weather at night, and prove of great service
in the intercourse with Montreal.
We also learn that a fifth buoy has been placed in the Traverse
opposite St. Rock, below. It is white with a pole and knob at
its end, and is laid at the east end of the middle bank at the
lower end of the traverse. |
|
Launched yesterday morning:
From Mr. Taylor's yard, the brig King Fisher, of 221 tons
From Mr. Munn's yard, the ship Ariadna, of 325 tons
From Mr. Goudie'd yard, the American, of 400 tons |

Accident:—
A man of the name of Louis Vinette fell from the wharf
of the Steam Boat Company at Three Rivers, on Monday last, and
we are sorry to hear, was drowned.
. . later . . May 28th edition
We understand it was proved by two witnesses at the inquest held
at Three Rivers on the body of Louis Vinette, whose
accidental drowning we mentioned on Monday, that a Canoe, capable
of carrying 14 persons, with two men and a woman in it, was within
a few paces of the drowning man, and although Mr. Hughes implored
them to save the young man's life, they sat unconcerned till
they saw him sink. |
|
Extraordinary Escape:—
On Thursday afternoon, about seven o'clock, whilst the " CANADA
FLOATING DOCK, " was about to be launched from the Ship-yard
of Mr. Farrington, at the foot of the Current St. Marie, a
person named Thomas Dow, a ship carpenter, employed
in assisting at the launch, and who was on the ways between
the vessel and the water, in the act of leaving the way, the
vessel coming too close to permit him to escape in the usual
manner, as the only alternative left to save himself he ran
with all possible speed to the river, and dived into the water
before he was overtaken. When the vessel was safely launched
and it was believed that the man must have been crushed beneath
her, he made his appearance on the top of the water, 50 yards
from the shore, which distance he had been driven by the force
with which the vessel moved the water. When taken up he exhibited
no marks of injury further than the wetting he had received
and having the top of his head thoroughly greased by the vessel's
bottom pressing against it while in the water. In reply to
some questions as to how he felt while in his late perilous
situation, he jocularly remarked that he was a little discomposed
by it, that for a trifling remuneration he would "try another
race with her."
The " Canada Floating Dock " we understand is to be taken forthwith
to Quebec, where she will be used as a drydock wherein to repair
vessels, and it is thought by persons who are supposed to be
judges, that she will answer the purpose desired.—Courant |

On Tuesday afternoon, the new Steam-tow-boat John Molson was
safely launched from Mr. Farrington's ship yard. Owing to the
wetness of the day but comparatively few Spectators attended.
After the launch she was towed by the New Swiftsure to
nearly opposite the mouth of the Lachine Canal, where her two
engines, of sixty horse-power each, are now placing on board.
She is considered to be a beautiful model. . . . This vessel
is built for the St. Lawrence Steam-boat company, and to be commanded
by Captain Jesse Armstrong. |
The Steamboat Hercules left the foot of the current this morning
for Quebec, with the Floating Dock in tow. On her way down she
will endeavour to tow the Steam-boat Laprairie off where she
now lies, nearly dry, a short distance below Berthier. |
|
Phillip Cain was convicted on Saturday last, at a Special Session
of the Peace, of having deserted from the ship Lady Gordon, and
was sentenced to twenty days confinement in the Common Gaol,
unless the ship left port previous to the expiration of that
period. |
|
Lachine Canal:—
Since the Lachine Canal opened for the season on the 16th ultimo,
till the 16th instant, 290 Boats of different descriptions,
have passed through it.— This is independendant of Rafts
of Timber and Firewood. A number of boats, owing to the highness
of the waters, have, notwithstanding the low rate of Canal
tolls, passed the Lachine rapids. Last year two Durham boats
were lost in that passage and we have been credibly informed,
that the Dundas struck three times a few days
ago on the rocks and the Commerce nearly the
whole way. Ten new Durham boats have arrived from Prescott
and its neighbourhood since the opening of the Canal. This
intelligence is truly gratifying to the friends of Provincial
improvement and is a precursor of the benefit yet to arise
to this Province and this City in particular, for when the
Rideau, Welland and Grenville Canals are finished, the whole
produce of the country bordering on those water communications
will descend to Montreal through the Lachine Canal. |
|
On Saturday last, the Head-Quarters of the 76th Regiment, were
transferred from this city to Quebec, and those of the 71st Regiment
arrived here. The conduct of the 76th Regiment during their stay
in this garrison has been uniformly correct, and we are convinced
that they carry with them the good will and respect of the citizens
of this place. |

employed by the Commissioners running the boundry line, Commissioners
of the Lachine Canal, and by Colonel By for several months past,
by whom his professional talents were duly appreciated. |

At Terrebonne, on the 25th instant, Joseph Clement Esq.,
at the advanced age of 80 years. He was one of the few Canadians
who volunteered their services for their Country in General Burgoyne's
Expedition to Saratoga in 1777. Mr. Clement was then a Sergeant
in Captain Morrins company but from his unvariable good conduct,
he was on his return home promoted to Ensigncy. In 1801 he got
charge of a company, and this year His Excellency the Commander
in Chief, was pleased to allow him the rank of Major on the retired
List of Militia Officers. His wife died two years since, at age
76 and his brother who had accompanied him in the Expedition
to Saratoga, died suddenly in February at age 72. |

Two rogues on their travels !
Victoralias Blouin, &c. &c. the French Comedian, and an associate,
Friquin, aliases we do not know how many names, decamped on Tuesday
morning last in the Lady of the Lake for Montreal, with
the full receipts of the theatre on the night preceding, cheating a number
of creditors, and leaving the rest of the company in distress. Mr.
Malhoit,
to whom they owed about £20 sent his son in pusuit of them ; he got to
Three Rivers before the Lady of the Lake, and took them into custody, received
payment of his account, and let them go.—Old Gazette [they
very ingeniously landed their baggage at Three Rivers and forgot to pay
the steam-boat fare.] |

A WIFE WANTED, by a young man of a most amiable and virtuous disposition,
who is in the prime of life and beauty, and consequently, in the perfect
and lively possession of all his faculties. The lady must be young,
handsome, and intelligent ; have a competant knowledge of house-keeping,
a decent semptsress, quite aufait in the economy of shift-making
; and last, though not least, be perfectly free from either the giggling
foolery, or stiff-laced prudery, that predominates so much in the wife-market of
this good city at the present writing. With regard to accomplishment,
if she cannot tell a piano-forte from a wheel-barrow, so much the better,
as there will be some chance for having a little quietness in the house
; and on no account must she be eternally squalling 'Love's Young
Dream,' 'A Te— to Friendship,' or 'Oh ! 'Tis Love ;' not
only to the annoyance of ' her lord and master,' but to the horror
of every one possessing a pair of ears. In respect to dancing, two
public balls per winter, exclusive of an occasional family hop now
and then, will be permitted ; but only on the condition of not walzing
with young men, to make the husband look cheap and feel uncomfortable.— A
slight acquaintance with the Waverly novels will be tolerated, should
a disposition to literature envince itself after the honey-moon ; but
no sighing, and groaning, and dying over 'Lalla Rookh,' or, 'The
Corsair'— In short, and to be brief—no countenance
whatever will be shown to any of that sickly sort of stuff which boarding
school girls call romantic feelings, or any similar nonsense which
may possibly interfere with the lady's maternal duties.— a numerous
and blooming progeny being contemplated as the blissful fruit of a
happy union.
It will doubtless be expected that something should be said of the
particular points of personal attractions required. If possible, a
tall figure, possessing that voluptuous, rounding contour of form so
much admired by men of taste in these matters, would be preferred.
Eyes of any colour excepting green or red, would be more acceptable,
if their glance should ordinarily, like a mathematical figure, diverge
from a right line ; as the gentleman himslef is blessed with
a slight, but graceful obliquity of vision, and is anxious for the
sake of family quiet, to leave no room for for reflection either on
or from his own or his spouse's bright orbs. Hair of any colour but
carrotty, (and that he condemns in toto) and which he would
prefer as the natural growth of the head it adorns, as he feels a particular
dislike to these horrid unnatural bunches of cork screw curls, which
tonseurs and the ladies term frizettes, but which
the resurrection-men from whom the raw material is procured, emphatically
and technically vend under the appellation of 'dead hair.'
Application to be made to J.H.W. care of the Editor of this paper,
who is fully empowered to grant whatever further information may be
required, and to whom it is requested, that such ladies as may be so
tenderly disposed, will be kind enough to send in their tenders
endorsed as " Proposals of Marriage."
N.B. No objection whatever to an old maid or a young widow provided
the one has a quantum suff of the needful, or the other is
particularly beautiful, not over her twentieth year, and done nursing
her first child.

Moses Benson, a black man, Cook on board the Carricks,
now in port, was drowned yesterday evening. He, to show his dexterity in
diving, went on the anchor from which he plunged into the river. It is
supposed that after he dived he rose under the vessel, as the body, though
diligently searched for, could not be found. |

The steam-boat Laprairie was safely re-launched on Tuesday evening, from

Andrew were returning from the Cascades, they experienced a severe gale on Lake

after the arrival of the St. Andrew at the wharf, a melancholy accident
occurred ; a son of Joseph Laflamme. aged about 6 years, while attempting
to go on board, was unfortunately drowned. The body has not yet been found.—Herald |
