Additional instructions on the form the reports were to take were given on
18th February 1830 (AO 4/3696 p.128) and 28th February 1833 (AO 4/3696 pp.3914).
"In order to prevent any cause of offence to Passengers in
obtaining the necessary particulars it will be advisable for the
Boarding Officer to communicate in the first instance with the
Master and stating the information to be required by the
Government for objects of Public Advantage, request him to
introduce him to the Heads of Families and others on board,
being Cabin Passengers as well as to facilitate the Muster which
he is directed to make of the Steerage - From the former he will
be able to procure all necessary particulars with respect to
them, and by conducting the latter service with such courtesy as
it is unnecessary to observe is invariably to be expected from a
respectable Officer of the Government, the information will no
doubt be not only correctly but readibly obtained".

From 1839 Health Officers' reports are attached to the Reports of vessels
Arrived. There are occasionally earlier health reports prepared by the ship's
surgeon. A Health Officer for Port Jackson was appointed in January 1839. He
was required to inspect on its arrival in port, every vessel not engaged in
the coastal trade or coming from Van Diemen's Land and submit a questionnaire
to their masters. He had also to keep himself acquainted with the health of
crews of ships in port, and was responsible for the medical care of emigrants
in the Government Buildings in Bent Street when they were no longer cared for
by the surgeon of the ship by which they came to the colony (AO 4/3795).
Index to Irish Immigrants, 1848-70
(a) Computer print-out index compiled by Mr R.E. Reid.
This index includes all Irish immigrants to New South Wales during
these years, with the exception of those on ships which discharged
at Moreton Bay, which carried German immigrants, or for which no
Board's List was available.
The indexes note name, age, county, ship, and date of arrival.
The Shipping Master was appointed on 1st January 1854 under the authority of
Act of Council 17 Victoria No.37 (Blue Book 1854 p.346). Lists of passengers
and crews were transmitted to him by the masters of vessels (series 5, page
39) and as the Tide Surveyor continued to send his Reports (series 2, page 37)
to the Colonial Secretary the two series overlap for a period of five years.
After Federation, immigration became a responsibility of the Commonwealth
Government. Hence from 1923 onwards the Passenger lists and other records are
held by the New South Wales Regional Office of the Australian Archives.
