"The Somerset Years", by Florence Chuk, page 46 begins a chapter on the Coromandel, with a description of the voyage - it was recorded as being 'difficult'.
After leaving Plymouth, she encountered very heavy gales in Bay of Biscay and was detained six weeks, while 17 vessels in her vicinity were lost. She called at St Jago in the Cape Verde Islands, and later at the Cape of Good Hope to replenish supplies. This resulted in the immigrants reaching Melbourne in good health.
Has notes on William and Elizabeth Broomfield, Thomas and Mary Ann Carter, and Caroline Hooper of Somerset.
