The "Duke of Portland", Emigrant Ship, for Port Phillip, 1850. Creator: Unknown.

The "Duke of Portland", Emigrant Ship, for Port Phillip, 1850. Sailing ship leaving Gravesend in Kent with settlers bound for Australia. The ship was '...freighted with the third instalment, to the number of sixty, of that female emigration so nobly planned and carried forward by the Hon. Mrs Sidney Herbert - as they were described by a Gravesend boatswain (with a tone and context gentler than the phrase), "a parcel o' needlewomen." These arrived on board on Monday afternoon, accompanied by Mr. S. Herbert and a few gentlemen interested in their welfare. The Star, Gravesend steamer, which conveyed the party, is seen in our Illustration...the ship is provided with a "religious instructor", accredited to his mission on the voyage by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
