Summary

[edit]
Description
English: South Sea Islanders on a sailing ship at Bundaberg. South Sea Islander labourers arriving at Bundaberg, Queensland, on a large, three-masted sailing ship. Labour trade ship May at Bundaberg. The three-masted 237-ton schooner May, pictured below docked at Bundaberg, made several trips between 1890 and 1894, carrying up to 103 recruits, regularly visiting the New Hebrides and Solomon Islands. The May was also the first Queensland vessel to recruit in the Gilbert and Ellice Islands. There are several photographs of these Micronesian and Polynesian recruits at Yeppoon near Rockhampton, often passed off unknowingly in books as Melanesians, when their physical appearance belies the identification.[1]
