Ship Arrivals at the Port of Quebec, 1831

The following information on arrivals, due to the condition of the papers, has been taken from various sources including the Montreal Gazette MG, Montreal Herald MH, 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note: if ships' rigging or name of Master unpublished, it is indicated by -- (The newspapers were often filmed within their binding, making one side of some entries, unreadable, or only partly legible.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 1831.

1831
April 16th - MG The latest accounts from Quebec mention that the ice above Cap Rouge still held ; however, the Waterloo and the Lady of the Lake steamers left this morning for Quebec, their Masters, being fully confident of attaining the capital without interruption, as the ice could not possibly remain after the warm weather we have experienced during the past week.
 
  By our files of Liverpool papers, we observe that, on the 24th February, the following vessels were were advertised for Canada:— For Montreal, Artemis, Sparks, to sail March 10 to 25 ; Sir John Beresford, Boag, March 25 ; Cicely, Sewell ; Canadian, March 15 ; Indian, March 25 ; Montreal, April 01 ; Camilla, Hamilton ; New Felix Souligny, Painchaud ; and the following for Quebec, Margaret, Sumpton ; and Unicorn, Troup, March 25.
   
Arrived at the Port of Quebec Thursday April 21st - MG
Date Vessel Master Sailed From Passengers Remarks/Consigned to
April 16 brig Nemesis Roallings / Rollans 24 March Poole   to H. Lemesurier & Co. / in ballast
April 18 ship William Collins 22 March Liverpool   to H.G. Forsyth & Co. / general cargo | to Montreal
April 18 brig Merope Blandford 24 March Poole   to H. Lemesurier & Co. / in ballast
 
Captain Collins, of the William, which is the first vessel that has sailed from Liverpool for this country, reports the Artemis, Margaret, Unicorn and Sir John Beresford, to sail thence for this port, on the 26th March. The vessels arrived saw no ice in the Gulf or River.
The Nemesis, anchored here on Saturday evening at ten o'clock after a passage of 21 days. The Merope sailed in company, and the Procris, with passengers was to sail on the 31st. The Nemesis made Cape Breton seven days ago, saw no ice in the gulf, but a good deal above Bic.

Extract of a letter dated Quebec, Monday afternoon:— "I have just ascertained that the Steamboat Waterloo was struck this morning by ice near Carouge, and immediately filled with water and sunk ; the passengers saved themselves by getting on a piece of ice."
The passengers by the Lady of the Lake arrived on Monday afternoon at Quebec, having landed at St. Augustin, about thirteen miles above, not being able to get further owing to the ice at Carouge.

On Monday last about noon, a fine ship [of 312 tons], was launched from the yard of James E. Campbell, Esquire, at Hochelaga [Montreal]. We never recollect to have seen a vessel enter the element she was about to grace with her presence, in better style. She was named the Royal William, and after having shipped her rudder, was towed up into port the same day by the John Molson steamer.
[from the April 28 issue] ... ; she is a beautiful vessel, of about 500 tons we suppose, most substantially built, upon a model of the beat sea vessels of the kind ; she will be ready to sail before the middle of summer. She takes in her engine at Montreal ... [see articles about the Royal William]
 
Arrived at the Port of Quebec Saturday April 23rd & Tuesday April 26th - MG
Date Vessel Master Sailed From Passengers Remarks/Consigned to
April 22 brig Canadian Hamilton 24 March Liverpool   to G. Ross / general cargo | to Montreal
April 22 ship Artemis Sparks 26 March Liverpool Messrs. Alexander Thompson ; James Connell ; S. Rhodes ; R. Methley to Masson, Strang & Co. / general cargo | to Montreal

April 23 ship Onandaga Baird London   to J.S. Campbell
 
The new Steamer John Bull, built for the St. Lawrence Steamboat Company, will be launched on Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock, after which she will be towed by the British America to the wharf opposite the foundry of the Messrs. Ward, where her engines will be put on board.

The account mentioned in our last, relative to the loss of the Waterloo, has been confirmed by further details, which have since reached us. Early in the morning of Monday, she was struck with heavy fields of ice, which had apparently become detached from the banks of the River some distance above ; the great force with which these drifted down upon her soon caused a leak, and by the afternoon, she sunk, it is said, in sixty feet of water. Nothing of her cargo is saved, and the passengers escaped with some difficulty, by taking refuge on the ice and floating with it until they obtained assistance from shore. No letters had been received yesterday from the Captain from whom minute particulars are expected.
Our Quebec Correspondent, in a letter of Wednesday afternoon, states that one of the boats belonging to the Waterloo passed with the Chaudiere ice in the fore part of that day ; and that accounts had been received from tolerable authority that the Lady of the Lake was on the rocks at St. Nicholas above the Chaudiere.

The steamboat Lady of the Lake arrived in port [Montreal] yesterday morning, from Quebec, being the first arrival from below. She was not as much injured during the recent moving of the ice near St. Nicholas as was at first imagined, as she lay within a small bay, while the Waterloo was exposed to the pressure of the floating ice.
