The City of Adelaide was berthed at Prince's Wharf in Port Adelaide for almost 14 weeks, then mid-stream in the Port River for a further three weeks before she sailed from South Australia on 3 November 1869.[1] She arrived in London on 16 March 1870 after a voyage of 133 days.
Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Alan Platt, historian, specialising in the history of the 'City of Adelaide' and her illustrious masters, we have a list of passengers who are known to have made the return voyage to England aboard her. The list was compiled by Dr. Platt from data collected from Adelaide newspapers by R.T. (Bob) Sexton, noted South Australian maritime author.
The list is alphabetical and all passengers are assumed to be in the First Class cabins.
