The Cornwall Chronicle (Launceston, Tas.) 27 Apr 1844, p.2

The Sea Queen.— The bounty emigrant ship Sea Queen arrived on Monday last, with 219 emigrants, under the superintendence of Dr. Curtis, J.P., who is an old resident of this colony, having been formerly police magistrate at Wellington, in the middle district, and subsequently he had charge of the medical department of Norfolk Island. Two-thirds of the emigrants are English, consisting principally of single men, of a robust and healthy appearance; the remainder are Irish; the whole of whom will, no doubt meet with immediate engagements, being of the class that are mostly required here. A mutiny broke out on board the Sea Queen amongst the crew, when on the eve of leaving Ireland, which compelled her to put back to the Cove of Cork, where the chief mate was sentenced to six weeks imprisonment and hard labour, and the remainder of the crew to 14 days imprisonment, with the forfeiture of their wages. She was also compelled to put back four times from stress of weather. Five deaths have taken place during the passage, — viz., one male adult, one female adult, and three children; there has also been an addition to the number of passengers by the birth of seven infants. Mr. F. Wickham, for many years an eminent practitioner at Launceston in the legal profession, has arrived by this vessel, accompanied by bis lady, with the intention of settling in this province, to practise as a barrister, having been admitted to the bar whilst in England.

Anne (21) and Roseanna (19) travelled to Australia aboard the Sea Queen. Both were listed as natives of Cavan, and Roman Catholic. Ann could read, Roseanna could neither read nor write. Roseanna was assigned to work for three months for Peter Mason at Geelong. Ann was assigned to work for one year for W. Brodie of Moonee Ponds.
