The "Harbinger" left Plymouth in 1848 for Sydney, where she arrived in 1849, on the 12th of February. On board was my 3x Great-grandmother, Jane Waters, an 18 year old girl from Glasgow, coming to Australia on her own. Her story is covered in The Rankin Story so Far and mentioned in The Boyhood and Youth of William Edmund Rankin
