The column "By whom sent; Master" gives general comments and information about assistance which was given to some of the passengers on that vessel. If the Master of the vessel is known, his name will also be given. Some passengers were assisted to emigrate by the Poor Law Commissioners. Others were assisted by Parish funds while still others, were assisted by their landlord.
Of the 171 vessels arriving under the Passengers Act two thirds of the vessels came from the port of Liverpool and 14 of these carried Germans. There were 45 vessels from England, 109 from Ireland, 10 from Scotland and 7 from Bremen and Hamburg. From Germany there were 896 emigrants. These were the first emigrants to arrive in Canada direct from a foreign port since 1836.
