Australia. Emigration on an economical principle.

Posters strongly encouraged emigration from England to the new colony of South Australia. This poster claimed:

Adelaide and Port Phillip offer advantages to Emigrants unparalleled in the history of the Colonies...Want is a thing unknown there...With common care, sobriety, and industry, a man cannot fail, not only to get a good living, but realize in a fewyears an ample competency.

Announcing the intended voyage of the Lady M'Naghten [also recorded as MacNaughten], this broadsheet details 'rates of passage money', and conditions on board, including medical comforts, and provisions for adults and children.

The Lady M'Naghten left London on 26 June 1851, and arrived at Port Adelaide on 23 September. On 24 September 1851 The South Australian Register published the passenger list.
