Passenger Manifest: http://www.archives.qld.gov.au/Researchers/ImmigrationIndexes/Documents/Zamora_1881_May_QSA_Item_18478.pdf<br /><br />2. Image of the Zamora: http://143.119.202.10/item/itemPopLarger.aspx?itemid=866862<br /><br />3. Demographic breakdown of Zamora passengers by nationality, trade and occupation: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/3402224?searchTerm=zamora%201882&searchLimits=l-availability=y|||l-australian=y<br /><br />4. Zamora Inquiry. The ship was subject to investigation in 1877 regarding rudimentary conditions and poor provisioning. It gives a useful snapshot to life on board during the voyage: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/19773764<br /><br />Thanks, Adam Lees<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729809994529854684.post-66034168096989328452015-01-15T18:27:26.697+10:002015-01-15T18:27:26.697+10:00Thank you for your great work.

I was looking for extra information about the Zamora and came across all the detail you have collated. Not only is it well compiled but it's saved me a tremendous amount of time by potentially duplicating existing work.
