The Harpley

THE EMIGRANT SHIP “HARPLEY”
This fine colonial-built ship took her departure from Deptford on the 12th May, and sighted Kangaroo Island on Tuesday the 20th August, at four in the morning. Remarkably inauspicious weather retarded the arrival within our harbour precincts, and eventually obliged Captain Buckland to trust to his cables and anchors in Holdfast Bay. During the terrific gale on Friday night, the twice parting of the small bower cable obliged the captain to have recourse to a chain cable on board, on freight, which by the help of the emigrants was got up and happily rendered conducive to the safety of the ship, the best bower holding on in the meantime, and confirming the good repute of the “holding ground” at the anchorage.

The circumstantial history of the bulk of the migrants per “Harpley” is worthy of a particular notice. With the exception of six. families, those on board the “Harpley” had been employed in French lace manufactories in or near Calais, some of them having been there eight years since they left their native place, Nottingham. At the outbreak of the French revolution the popular fury soon extended to the hitherto peaceful abodes of the refugees, and the cry of “a has les Anglais”(down with the English) would possibly have been followed by actual and violent expulsion but for the timely interference of the Consul, who besought the insurgents at least to respect the persons of the English workmen. At that time, the number of English working for, or dependent upon, manufacturing employers in Calais and its environs was nothing short of a thousand souls; of whom some have gone to Sydney, a few more are coming hither, and a ship-load were to embark at Calais for Port Philip, a fortnight after the “Harpley” left.

In their extremity the English work people in Calais not willing to return to their native town of Nottingham, or any other part of the over-stocked English labour-market, sent a memorial to Lord
Palmerston, dated April 12, desiring to obtain passages to one of the English colonies, and a large number wishing to make choice of South Australia, of which they professed to have heard through our “Voice”. In three days, an answer was returned by his Lordship, and a government Commissioner arrived to make the requisite enquiries. He was immediately succeeded by Mr. Cooper, a gentleman from the Office of Her Majesty’s Land and Emigration Commissioners, who instituted diligent scrutiny into the characters and circumstances of the memorialists, and then arranged for their passage to England, preparatory to emigration for these colonies. On their arrival in London they learned that a benevolent committee was sitting daily at the Mansion House, under the auspices of that genuine specimen of nobility the distinguished Lord Ashley, and eagerly engaged in getting up a generous subscription to which the town of Nottingham contributed 300 to 400 pounds for the relief of those who were hourly compelled to return to England from the French territory. The objections of the Commissioners to send lace makers and their families to a young colony like South Australia were compromised by an allowance of 5 pounds per head from the subscription fund, and an engagement to provide a good outfit.

The details were then arranged, and the “Harpley” appointed, the emigrants embarked, and soon the poop of the ship, to use our informant’s words, was “transformed into a haberdasher’s shop”, from which every thing necessary was gratuitously and unsparingly supplied to those who were in need, Mr. Cooper being charged with Lord Ashley’s princely commands to let the unfortunates want for nothing. Mr Commissioner Wood visited them at Gravesend previous to their departure, addressed to them an admirable speech full of kindness and encouragement, assuring them they were proceeding to a land where honesty and industry seldom failed to have their proper reward.

The only instance of death among the adults was an aged and ailing man (in his 67th year) who was unwilling to be separated from his family, and to whom the Commissioner humanely granted a free passage. He died in traversing the Bay of Biscay, the only instance of mortality besides, being a delicate infant of three months old. A sea apprentice and a young sailor named Bateman fell overboard during the passage, but both were saved by a well-directed life-buoy until they could be picked up. During the passage the ship only sighted the Cape Verd Islands and St. Pauls. The passengers, who were scarcely becalmed on the line, suffered little from heat in the Tropics, and as little from cold in the southern hemisphere, 39.5 S being the most southerly latitude attained. There was no case of serious illness during the greater part of the passage, and 236 souls have arrived in excellent health, in a remarkably clean and well-commanded ship, manned by a fine crew. During the passage Mr. Spencer the Surgeon-Superintendent read prayers every Sabbath when the weather permitted.

We have seen in the hands of the refugee Emigrants, some of the certificates granted by employers and municipal officers in France, and they speak well for the character of the people, who we hope will find they have exchanged the inhospitable treatment of the French for a hearty welcome in a British colony. Their’s is an instance calling for especial sympathy and spirited exertion on behalf of the colonists, and we shall much mistake if the newly-arrived do not in their case confirm the assurance, that any honest men and women who venture to South Australia with their off-spring will be likely to find the right hand of fellowship extended towards them in a land of peace and plenty.

We have elsewhere published the names and shall be exceedingly glad to assist, through our office, in facilitating engagements between employers and those who assure us they are anxious to make themselves useful in any capacity.

The Lacemakers of Calais in South Australia

5 Windana Mews, Glandore, SA. 5037

The 1848 Revolution in France had an impact on far away South Australia with the arrival of a group of economic refugees collectively known as the Lacemakers of Calais. In all over 700 lacemakers reached Australia in 1848 in three main ships, the Agincourt and Fairlie to Sydney and the Harpley to Adelaide. Strangely they were neither French nor lacemakers!

The Calais Lacemakers were English men who designed, built and maintained the extremely complex lace-making machines that had been originally developed in Nottingham. Despite the best efforts by the British to keep the manufacturing process a secret, the techniques were leaked to France and the industry developed in the Calais region using British experience and skills. After the British got over the loss of their monopoly everything was fine until the 1848 Revolution that proved to be an economic disaster for the workers as their factories were closed and English owners returned to England. The workers were faced with destitution if they remained in France or returned to England.

One group of Calais Lacemakers saw life in an English Workhouse as untenable and in March 1848 they met in a church in Saint-Pierre to sign a memorial requesting the English Government to assist them to emigrate to the Australian colonies, especially South Australia. One George Louis Liptrott, who previously arrived in South Australia on the Anna Robertson in 1839, was probably the instigator in Australia being the destination and Adelaide as the first choice. At first the request was ignored because the men were too old and had a trade not wanted in Australia and many of them had large families with numerous children under the age of ten.

The British Government was swayed by support for the idea from the English Consul in Calais, and the realisation that if these people returned to England they would put a considerable strain on the Workhouses. Appeals to raise half the assistance money were launched in London and in Nottingham, and kits were found to outfit the emigrants. The Queen and Prince Albert gave £200.

The Harpley departed 12 May 1848 for Adelaide but on arrival the lacemakers discovered prospects were little better and with little chance of work they were, with few exceptions, destined to be destitute. However, with the same determination previously exhibited, many were settled into work within the first few months. Many of the single females quickly married to save themselves a placement in the Destitute Asylum in Adelaide.

The following vessels had lacemakers in their complement too: Andromache, Baboo*, Emperor, General Hewett, Harbinger, Navarino*, Nelson and Walmer Castle with those marked * coming to Adelaide.

Many modern South Australians are blissfully unaware that they may owe their origins to this determined troop of people. Check the following list of surnames and if you find one of interest type it into the search field to find out more about that particular emigrant family.

The Harpley

The Harpley was built near Exeter on the River Tamar in Tasmania, in the yards of the Patterson Brothers, and launched in 1847. She was measured as being of 547 tons and had two decks, a square stern and was ship-rigged on three masts. She was 122.4 feet long and 26.3 feet wide at the widest part and her depth from deck to keel amidships was 18.6 feet. She was built for James Raven, a merchant of Launceston.

between two and three hundred passengers for Spring Bay, to witness the launch of Mr Raven's ship. A portion of the band of the 11th accompanied the steamer, and played several enlivening airs during the trip down. The launch was effected without delay, in a most skilful manner; but the tide having ebbed about six inches, the vessel grounded within a few yards of the shore. Mrs Raven performed the ceremony of christening the ship, to which the name Harpley was given; she is 544 tons new register. The Swan was stationed in the Bay, where the spirited owner entertained a large number of guests; in the evening she was towed up by the steamer. The Harpley is as fine a ship of her class as was ever built in the world; her model is considered excellent, whilst the work is admirable, and reflects the highest credit upon Mr Patterson the builder. Wherever she goes, the fact of such a vessel having been built on the banks of the Tamar, will excite astonishment, and must tend to raise the capabilities of our port in the estimation of all.

On 10 February she was registered at Launceston as No 1 of 1847 and made her first voyage out of Australia in March 1847. She carried a full cargo of primary produce, then called at Hobart to embark 50 soldiers, 26 women and 40 children. She left Hobart for England on 20 March, and reached England in July. The London Times reported:

"The Harpley" - Under her three topsails and jib, with a stiff breeze from the north east, and strong ebb tide, the smart ship Harpley appeared of Plymouth on Monday morning, the 17th instant, and notwithstanding the opposition of both elements, she, cutter-like, gracefully entered the sound, and with a conscious pride took up her anchorage at the appointed station. Comparatively a few years since no one would have imagined that the far distant colonists of Van Diemen's Land would have sent to the mother country a fine specimen of naval architecture, so well qualified to mingle in one of her noblest ports, with the merchant shipping of the parent state. The Harpley was launched in Launceston on the 2nd February, 1847, and with the exception of her chain cables, was there supplied with all her materials, stores, rigging, pumps, &etc.

There are stories of her being unsound, with fault being found with the Australian timbers used to build her. This was untrue and her registration was changed from Launceston in 1847 to London at the end of her first voyage there. She was commissioned to carry the Lacemakers out of England to South Australia and she departed Deptford on 12 May and reached Adelaide on 2 September. Her next voyage from England carried an interesting contingent of Baptists. John Chandler was a child at the time, but he remembered:

In the year of the Great Famine in Ireland in 1848, there was a great stir amongst the Chartists, and much excitement in Brighton. Wagner, the Vicar of Brighton, was pressing for the Church Rates, and the Nonconformists would not pay, so he stopped the clock at St Peter's Church, which many of the town people depended on for their time. All the boys took up the cry whenever they saw him, "Who stopped the clock?" We all knew him by the grey pony that he rode. When we saw him coming we would look out for some place to escape in where he could not ride, and then shout out with all our might and run, for he had a whip like the huntsmen have...

Provisions got very dear at this time, and many people were talking about emigrating. Many were leaving for America. There was gold discovered in California... This was in 1848. Some of the members of the Ebenezer church met together and after much talk and many prayers, they resolved to emigrate... The Harpley having got all her cargo aboard and most of her passengers, we started from St Katherine's Dock on 9th September, 1849 and were towed down to Gravesend... *
