Diamond

arrived 4 Nov 1841, barque HW Taylor master, from London 1 July 1841 then Cork 23 July to Port Phillip, Fiche 5 Page 158 Images 83-92, Agent Jonathan B Were, and Dr Irons on board as surgeon.

I have 278 names for passengers (this includes two who died) and 5 crew Cabin Passengers Mr Gilbert with wife and 4 chn, two Mr Thompsons, Mr Cooper, Mr Rycroft, Mr Bowler, Mr Maunsell and Lady, Mr Brickshank, 6 intermediates. The 254 bounty emigrants consisted of 133 souls in 41 families, 54 unmarried males (3 were refused Bounty) and 67 unmarried females. There were fifty children. Protestants numbered 44 and Roman Catholics 209. About half the adults could read and write. They represented a variety of occupations - carpenters, labourers, farm-servants, shepherds, stockmen, smiths, one gardener, one mason, one wheelwright. Most passengers were from Ireland, with just a few from England. The ship carried a super cargo of 480 deals and 270 boxes of soap.

Staff - HW Taylor Master, James Irons Superintendent of Bounty passengers, Thomas Elkirn 1st Mate, Wm Davis 2nd Mate, Wm McKenzie 3rd Mate.
Gratuities were paid to Dr Irons for 254 souls at the rate of 10/6 making a total of £133:7:0. Captain Taylor received 3/- each for the same number, making his total £38:2:0; the first mate, Mr Thomas Elkin, received £19:l0:0; the second mate (William Davies) and the third mate (William McKenzie) each received £12:14:0.
Bounty for 1 family (Mr and Mrs Kirby) refused due to poor state of their health on arrival at Port Phillip, and she died in Melbourne on 21st December 1841.

During the voyage one male adult, one female adult and five children died and seven babies were born.

From the Clancy Web page The Diamond was built at the Isle of Man in 1835 and was the fourth of the ships chartered by J.B. Were. On her previous trip to Sydney in 1838 she carried 162 female convicts, one, Mary Carmody being only thirteen years of age.
Thomas Clancy, his wife and four children - John, Eleanor, Thomas and Agnes, embarked on this ship, leaving Catherine (5 years) and Mary Hanno (3 years) with their grandmothers. A hint as to why they were left may be obtained from the work of Caroline Chisholm. In the late 1840's she discovered that hundreds of Irish children had been left behind by their parents who had emigrated. It was believed that bounty was only paid for four children. This may have explained why these two girls were left.
Thomas, Anne and the three older children could both read and write. Thomas was listed as a carpenter. Perhaps this gave him a better opportunity of coming as a bounty migrant than if he had described himself as a ".Gentleman farmer"..

Extracts from two websites - John George Priestley and Thomas Clancy comes to Port Phillip

The Diamond was built at the Isle of Man in 1835 and was the fourth of the ships chartered by J.B. Were. On her previous trip to Sydney in 1838 she carried 162 female convicts, one, Mary Carmody being only thirteen years of age. Thomas Clancy, his wife and four children -John, Eleanor, Thomas and Agnes, embarked on this ship, leaving Catherine (5 years) and Mary Hanno (3 years) with their grandmothers. A hint as to why they were left may be obtained from the work of Caroline Chisholm. In the late 1840's she discovered that hundreds of Irish children had been left behind by their parents who had emigrated. It was stated that bounty was only paid for four children. This may have explained why these two girls were left.
The Diamond Captain, W. Taylor, had Dr Irons on board as surgeon. It had fourteen first class passengers, six intermediate passengers and 330 bounty emigrants. The latter consisted of 41 families, 54 unmarried males and 67 unmarried females. There were fifty children. Protestants numbered 44 and Roman Catholics 209. About half the adults could read and write. They represented a variety of occupations - carpenters, labourers, farm-servants, shepherds, stockmen, smiths, one gardener, one mason, one wheelwright. Most passengers were from Ireland, with just a few from England. The ship carried a super cargo of 480 deals and 270 boxes of soap.
Thomas Clancy, Anne and the three older children could both read and write. Thomas was listed as a carpenter. Perhaps this gave him a better opportunity of coming as a bounty migrant than if he had described himself as a ".Gentleman farmer".. July 1841 was election time, and at Mallow, near Castletownroche, there were lively meetings, with Fathers Collins and McCarthy taking active parts. On 17th July, when the Clancy's would be about ready to journey to Cove for embarkation, torrential rain fell in the area. They would already have been on board when the Regatta was held on the harbour on 22nd July. The day was fine and Cove was a place of great gaeity. 31 With a steady wind blowing from the north-west, the Diamond sailed out of Cork Harbour on 24th July.
The journey was uneventful and the Diamond arrived in Melbourne on 4th November, a journey of 104 days. From contemporary accounts one can gain a fair impression of the journey, with a mixture of fair weather and foul. They did not sail in the season of wintry gales, but may have been becalmed for a time. Rain would replenish the supplies of fresh water. There was the usual ".crossing of the line" ceremony. Passengers would relieve the tedium of the journey by watching dolphins, flying fish, the albatross and other forms of marine and avian life quite new to them. Occasionally a passing ship would be sighted, and perhaps the Diamond "spoke" to one or more of them. The course was down the Atlantic towards the South American coast, then south-east towards the Cape of Good Hope, then across the Indian Ocean and well south of Western Australia till they first sighted Australian land at Cape Otway.
Young Tom Clancy, in his later years, told his family that it was a fairly monotonous trip, because there were few incidents. He mentioned that ceremonies were held to mark the Crossing of the Line, when King Neptune and his retinue appeared and some were shaved. One stormy night a rather simple man got on to an unsecured box which moved and caused the man to suffer bruised legs. During the storm some water trickled through a crack on to Tom's face, waking him. Thereupon, he went up on to the deck and was tossed about a bit before he returned to his berth, none of his seniors being any the wiser concerning his nocturnal walk which could have had disastrous results. Such are the memories of a young boy, no doubt coloured by the passage of time.
The migrants were reminded that reaching their destination in good health depended on observing the rules for cleanliness and airiness and Dr Irons saw to it that the rules were observed. Migrants were up by 7.00 am. By 8.00 am, when breakfast was served, children had to be washed and dressed, the decks swept, the beds rolled up and, weather permitting, carried on deck, and the berths well brushed out. No smoking was allowed between decks and spirits were not allowed to be brought on board. Dinner was at 1.00 pm and tea at 6.00 pm. Married men, in rotation, kept watch in quarters to prevent irregularities. Monday and Friday were washing days. Every Sunday, Dr Irons mustered the migrants at 10.30 am to see whether they were personally clean and had on clean clothes, after which divine service was conducted. Dr Irons also selected men to act as teachers to the children and, quite probably, Thomas Clancy (who later taught in Melbourne) was one of those selected. Migrants were encouraged to read the Bible and to be careful in their behaviour. The ship carried a supply of religious and moral books. On the journey, the parson (if there was one), the schoolmaster, the surgeon or the captain, pleaded with migrants each Sunday to observe frugality, industry, sobriety, purity, self-help and humility.
In addition to looking after children, preparing meals, mending clothes, women were encouraged to engage in other tasks, such as making clothes. Sometimes squabbles arose, inevitable when people are confined to a little space for months. And there was gossip about the places from which they came and to which they were going, people sharing what information they had.
In 1841, there was a mud-bar over the Yarra River which blocked any vessel drawing over seven feet from proceeding up the river. Consequently, ships anchored in Hobson's Bay (which at that time was crowded with shipping), many of them opposite Williams Town, after Tobin, the pilot, dressed in frock coat and chimney pot hat, had come aboard and steered the ship to its anchorage. Then all kinds of persons came aboard chiefly for the purpose of hiring servants.
