MARION 

MARION WAS A VESSEL OF 996 / 919 TONS BUILT IN 1850 AT QUEBEC BY CHARLES JOBIN.

SHE UNDER TOOK THE FOLLOWING VOYAGES FROM GERMANY TO THE USA

21ST OCTOBER 1852 GERMANY TO USA
22ND DECEMBER 1853 GERMANY TO USA
1ST AUGUST 1857 GERMANY TO USA

SHE LEFT LONDON IN MARCH 24TH 1851 ARRIVING IN PORT ADELAIDE ON 29TH JULY 1851 WITH CAPTAIN G KISSOCK IN COMMAND

SHE RAN AGROUND ON TROUBRIDGE SHOAL ( HAVING REACHED HER DESTINATION ) ON  29TH JULY 1851 BUT ALL 351 PASSENGERS WERE TAKEN OF SAFELY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE INFANT BEING KILLED FALLING OUT OF A CART  ( REPORTS THAT SHE RAN AGROUND IN AUGUST OF 1851 WHICH IS WRONG I THINK  )
 
AS FAR AS I CAN ASCERTAIN THE VESSEL WAS WRECKED WHICH MEANS THE VOYAGE BELOW WAS UNDER TAKEN BY ANOTHER VESSEL CALLED MARION ( OR THE DATE OF 1854 IS WRONG )


A VESSEL CALLED MARION OF 900 /996 TONS LEFT LIVERPOOL ON 27TH AUGUST 1854 AND ARRIVED IN PORT ADLAIDE ON 19TH DECEMBER 1854 WITH CAPTAIN R LEIGHTON IN COMMAND CARRYING 384 IMMIGRANTS
