Name Oliver Smith - I (Beverley Joy Charlton (nee Smith)) have his hand-written diary written while on 6 wk steamship immigration cruise England to Melbourne 1912. Interesting…conditions terrible. 9 children died from measles on voyage. Fortunately, my dad (who was 2, and my Aunty Olive, 4) did not! They were informed of sinking of Titanic mid-voyage. Upon arrival in Melbourne, they were treated to quarantine life in tents at Portsea while everyone was disinfected. He, a carpenter, had been promised a job in Melbourne. It lasted 2 weeks. However, they did make good and finally had their own home in Preston, Melbourne.
