THE PLANTER and the ancestry of URSULA WHITFORD POOLE

The Planter   Capt Thomas Beazley                      London November 1838 to Adelaide May 1839

Footprints a memoir of the late Alexander Hay                       Agnes Hay   pub  Elliot Stock 1899
‘Left London on the 25^th November in the barque Planter. We lost sight of land on the 3^rd December. We went through the Bay of Biscay between the 11^th and the 14^th, and came in sight of Madeira on the 23^rd from which time we had favourable winds till we crossed the Equator on the 11^th January 1839. A short time after we crossed the line a mutiny took place among the sailors, by which the passengers had to work the ship for a fortnight, till we got into the harbour of rio de Janeiro. We came in sight of Cape Frio on the 22^nd, and entered the harbour of Rio on the 27^th which is one of the most beautiful harbours I have ever witnessed. We left Rio on the 23^rd February. After we had left a few days they discovered that the oil on board was nearly exhausted and they determined to call at the island of Tristan d’Acunah for a fresh supply. We had very strong winds and dull weather when we came about the latitude of the island so that they could not get a sight of the sun at 12 o’clock to steer the vessel. So they steered for Algoa Bay in Southern Africa. When we came in sight of the Cape of Good Hope, on the 12^th March, when they found that we were opposite Table Bay, and the wind blowing very hard from the south-south-east, so that we were obliged to tack about there for the space of a week before we could double the Cape. We entered Algoa Bay on the 22^nd, and the caps of the masts being found unsafe to go to sea with (owing to their rotten condition), they had to stayand refit them, so that it was 3^rd of April before we left it. We arrived at Port Adelaide on the 15^th of May 1839 and got ashore on the 18^th.

Among the 96 passengers of whom 29 were children were Henry Joseph Durieu and his family including his daughter Emma Mary and Daniel Crosby. Daniel and Emma married in in 1840.
