| Shepherd - arrived in WA in 1843 | SOURCES |
|
The 'Shepherd' is said to have left the Isle of Wight on June 6, 1843 and to have arrived in Fremantle, Western Australia on October 26, 1843. In all, she was said to have carried 31 passengers and the 28 Parkhurst boys who embarked at the Isle of Wight were among that number. The boys were listed in Paul Buddee's book, 'Fate of the Artful Dodger' and in Andrew Gill's later work, 'Forced Labour for the West'. Buddee's book mentions three other boys who were said to be Parkhurst boys but not reflected as such on any shipping lists or in any subsequent colonial documents. Andrew Gill's later work merged Buddee's BOLT and BOTT entries into one and added ROBINSON, who Buddee had listed, as an extra. Buddee's other two extra entries were T. GREZ or GRAZ, and J. RICK. The 28 'apprentices' who were transported on the 'Shepherd' are transcribed below. | |
