The Allan family : Scottish/Canadian shipowners /Maureen Borland. A history of the Scottish Canadian family of shipowners behind the Montreal Steam Ship Company and the Allan Line. It begins with the birth in 1780 of Alexander Allan in Dundonald, Ayrshire and continues through until 1955, focusing on the family rather than the shipping line. Together with Alexander Harvey, James Gilkison, Samuel Paterson and John Wilson, Alexander Allan (Captain Sandy) commissioned their first ship, the Jean, launched in 1819. Making her first voyage to Canada that year, the Jean carried dry goods on the outward journey and timber on the return voyage. On the second trip the same year, she took a few passengers, the forerunner of the Allan Line's passenger service taking migrants to Canada. By the 1830s, the company was operating from offices in Montreal, Liverpool and Glasgow with all five of Allan's sons involved in the business. The text is illustrated with family photographs. 2013. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92ALLAN

The Campbelltown convicts / Peter J. Hinds. "On 19 March 1818, a young man called John Champley was committed to the House of Correction in Beverley, Yorkshire, England, for two years hard labour. He had been convicted of being a party to the theft of eighty pounds of butt leather in Pocklington on 13 December 1817. Four months later, after an attempted escape from the House of Correction, he was sentenced to transportation to one of His Majesty's 'Plantations or Colonies abroad'. Champley arrived in the penal colony of Sydney Cove on Thursday 7 October 1819 and was assigned to a shoemaker at Parramatta. After receiving his freedom in May 1826, Champley left Parramatta -- with the shoemaker's wife. Early in 1829, Champley and his family left Sydney to live at Bong Bong. In February 1830, following a robbery at the nearby Oldbury estate, Champley and his two alleged accomplices, John Yates and Joseph Shelvey, were sentenced to death at Campbelltown. They were saved from the gallows upon appeal by their barrister and their death penalties commuted to 'life and hard labour in irons'. Champley and Shelvey were sent to Norfolk Island, and Yates to Moreton Bay. About a year later, two captured bushrangers from Jack Donohoe's gang made confessions concerning the robbery and Champley, Shelvey and Yates were brought home and pardoned. However, the trial and incarceration had by now reduced their lives from one of hope to one of despair."--Provided by the publisher. 2012. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 325.51(944)

Frigate commander / by Tom Wareham. Based on the previously unpublished private journal of Admiral Sir Graham Moore (1764-1843), this work primarily focuses on Moore's career as a frigate commander beginning with his service in the Perseus, Dido and Adamant. Commanding first the Orestes and the sloop Bonetta in 1790, Moore was promoted to post captain in 1794 with command of the Syren, his first frigate command. His later commands included the larger frigates Melampus and Indefatigable which he commanded until 1805 when ill-health forced him to relinquish the command and ended Moore's career as a frigate commander. However, his naval career continued with commands of the Marlborough and Chatham. Moore was promoted first to the rank of rear admiral and commander-in-chief in the Baltic in 1812, and then in 1819 to vice admiral when he was given command of the Mediterranean station. Moore was promoted in 1837 to full admiral and commander-in-chief Plymouth, but his health continued to deteriorate and he died in 1843. 2004. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92MOORE, GRAHAM
