Index to passengers & ships arrivals - 19th Century

Records of people (passengers, crew, ship's masters) and ships arriving were kept in the 19th century at various levels of detail and the records that are indexed here reflect this variety in terms of the amount of information they provide on individual people or ships. Most arrivals are for the port of Hobart as few records have survived for arrivals of ports outside Hobart. This index is gradually being added to from conversion of an existing card index and so far entries for names beginning A to K have been converted.  Examples of the content and format of the indexed records.
