3 Joseph Whye emigrated on 12 June 1855 from Southampton at SS Gilmore. She was an old ship of 500 tons that had been built at Sulkea (India) 31 years previously. She had previously brought convicts to Australia in 1832 and 1839; and convicts in 1829.
9 He immigrated on 19 October 1855 to Sydney, New South Wales, at per SS Gilmore. He had no relatives in the Colony. The ship had had a lengthy passage of 127 days due to bad weather. "On 31st August, latitude 44' S., longitude 2417 E., at 2 a.m., the vessel was running with a fine quarterly breeze, when suddenly a heavy sea broke on board, coming in before the main rigging on starboard side, and passing out over the portquarter. The lifeboat and cutter, laying on the booms, were smashed to atoms, the front of the poop drove in, and the berths in the cabins set apart for an hospital knocked to pieces, by which some of the immigrants were severely cut and bruised. The port rail and bulwarks were carried away, and two butts, together with part of the covering board started, besides other damage. Fortunately no lives were lost and Captain Scott can only account for the unlooked for accident, by the supposition that the vessel must have passed over a shoal not laid down in the charts, as there was comparatively but little sea running at the time. The casualties during the passage were six deaths (three adults and three infants), together with four deaths, all children."
