This voyage left London on 15 July 1848 and Plymouth on 3 
August and arrived at Adelaide 10 November 1848. 

In a 1988 publication, "Migrant ships to South Australia 1836-
1860" by Ronald PARSONS,  it is asserted that "the 200
steerage passengers [aboard the Navarino to Adelaide 1848]
were the first ordinary migrants to South Australia who paid
their own fare and did not apply to the emigration authorities
for an assisted passage".  (Page 108)

The Navarino was a 464 ton 3 masted barque, built in 1808,
which had been previously used in 1841 and 1843 as a convict
transport ship. It was 116' long, 29'9" wide with 5'9" height
between decks.  (Lloyd's Shipping list and Log of Logs).
