Hi,

The chartered steamer "Scotland" arrived at Keppel Bay on the evening of 14th September 1882 after dropping off passengers at Thursday Island, Cooktown, Townsville, Bowen and Mackay.  After unloading the passengers for Rockhampton including George and Emily Blow the steamer "Scotland" went onto Brisbane.

The "Scotland" would have anchored up somewhere in Keppel Bay and the passengers would have been brought up the Fitzroy River by smaller vessels to the Immigration Centre in Rockhampton.

The steamer "Scotland" was a large vessel and overall 582 souls were landed in Queensland Ports including the 3 births and 14 deaths that occurred during the voyage.

For a bit of info.

Hi Aussie,
.....it seems that emily and her husband george followed Maria down to Australia 5 yrs later,

George and Emily married 16 May 1882 and left for Australia very soon after.  Maria emigrated 25 years later in 1907.  Emily was 14 years older than Maria.

The marriage of George and Emily:

The immigration record is here with the digitised passenger list:

Click on the letter 'B' in the 'Search the indexes' section, scroll to find George and Emily then click on the blue link beside the name for the ship Scotland.

Emily had died the year before Maria came to Queensland so perhaps she originally came out to help George with the young children.
