Ship Register Index: Port of Brisbane
1856 to 1875
Embedded Files
This is an Index of the digitised file from the National Archives Australia called Register of British Ships: Main register subsequent to Merchant Shipping Act 1854, Port of Brisbane 1856 to 1898, A7531 Roll 1, and is not a product of the National Archives of Australia. There are 619 images. Many of the images are duplicated. Each image details the registration of one vessel which includes when and where it was built, construction method and materials, owners, purchasers, mortgagers and mortgagees, date of registration or transfer, and the fate of the vessel.
The complete record for a single vessel may be made up of several pages that are not always together in the file. Pages listed in the index relate to the digital page or pages of the file for the ship, person or company. Occupations are the first occupation encountered for that person.
Images are indexed separately under the headings Ships, People and Companies. Those tables can be reached through the main menu bar at the top of the screen.
