Notes from the Surgeons Report: Measles was the principal disease from the beginning of the voyage Hooping[sic] cough and ophthalmia also prevailed. I would beg leave to suggest the introduction into the charter party of a clause forbidding in the winter season a higher latitude than from 42° to 45°S. We sailed in a much higher latitude and the people, particularly women and children felt it much. They suffered also from chilblains to an extent that I never before saw equalled and I dont think any difference in time saved by taking a high latitude is commensurate with the discomfort produced thereby in the winter season. In the event, the Emigration Commissioners attempted to confine masters within the latitude 45°S, but some masters went for higher, to around 50°S, causing much discomfort for emigrants who suffered from exposure to the cold. Such contravention of regulations was relatively rare.
The author, Robin Haines, is widely known for her books on migration. Recommended is her
Life and Death in the Age of Sail: The Passage to Australia published in 2003 by University of NSW Press. Another Emigration and the Labouring Poor: Australian recruitment in Britain and Ireland 1831-1860 was published by Macmillan Press in London. This soon sold out and a new edition is under consideration.
