Each year, we will be celebrating 150 years and 140 years since the arrival of immigration vessels to Maryborough, Queensland. Our annual event is usually celebrated in May. Find out if your ancestors swam or came by boat to the Port of Maryborough.

Descendants of passengers from these sailing ships are invited to this event. Also, descendants from other ships are welcome to attend.

Please email us so we can include your name in our mailing lists.

You can also find us on Facebook where we will be downloading passenger lists for these ships.
