Crew of the Vixen

Introduction

This list is extracted from the much longer and more detailed account by F.S. Graves "The Story of the Vixen" in Proc IoMNHASoc vol vii #2 pp201-231 March 1968. See emigration page for brief story of the Peel men who sailed it to Australia in 1853 and returned 1859. The Peveril, a much smaller vessel, also went to Australia in 1854 from Peel.

Of the thirty-seven men who contributed to the cost of fitting out and who sailed in the " Vixen " to Australia, fourteen were married and twenty-three single.
