Good Food, Bright Fires and Civility: British Emigrant Depots of the Nineteenth Century
British Emigrant Depots of the Nineteenth Century
Keith Pescod
In the mid-19th century, over 33,000 assisted emigrants travelled from Britain and Ireland to Australia. Embarkation depots were established in major ports. The emigrants' diaries describe their final days before departure. Official correspondence reveals British attitudes of the day and high standards of civil service.
