They came by ship - British Immigrants who arrived 1840A combination of reports by the Port Phillip Herald listing arrival of 40 vessels from United Kingdom,and Shipping lists for Bounty passengers, suggests 2725 persons came to Port Phillip in 1840. Paying passengers listed (790 names from Herald, includes departures) are 517 Cabin, 128 Intermediate, 458 Steerage, 73 vaguely described and 1550 Bounty emigrants. In other words, approximately 5 Bounty immigrants for each 4 who paid and could be expected to become employers.
