THE PASSENGER LIST was published in the SOUTH AUSTRALIAN REGISTER newspaper
recorded by the REGISTER'S Shipping Recorder from the original passenger list held by the Captain of the ship.
This website shows TWO Passenger Lists for this ship - the first list was in the REGISTER.
The second list is the same, but in alphabetical order.
We are hoping to locate a copy of the original passenger list.
Please email me if you have a copy (see bottom of this page for my email address).

To confirm the list of the HARPLEY passengers who continued onto Melbourne,
we shall need to check the Melbourne newspapers of the day.
