NOTE
This gallery contains images of
most
but not all of the steamships
listed
in:
http://www.findboatpics.com.
There
is also the addition of ships
not yet listed in that website.
These include
vessels for which
images could not be found when
that website was created but
which have since
been found.
The
ships of an American
shipping
company, Pacific Mail,
which
operated a service between
San
Francisco, Auckland and
Sydney
from 1875 to 1885 have
also
been added.
The
author apologises for the
limits
which the format of his
gallery
has placed on the way
that
sources are acknowledged
by
code and book or place they
can
be found to help family
history and other researchers.
The author's
other websites on
ships
which brought passengers
and
emigrants to Australia and
New Zealand
are:
1. Sail to the
1880s and
Steamships (in this gallery)
up
to 1914 at:
http://www.findboatpics.com
2. From the
end of World
War I
to the 1970s at
http://www.findboatpics.net.au
The author regards his three
"findboatpics" websites as
on-going project to
be further
developed and
improved.
