Notes: "The Ship Erin's Queen sailed from Liverpool for New Orleans on the seventh day of September, having on board 232 second cabin passengers, including infants; all of these, with the exception of two or three persons, were Saints. The people of Liverpool were astonished to see the order and regularity among them. While large companies of emigrants upon other ships have cursing and swearing, and finding fault one with another, songs of praise and prayer are ascending up to heaven from the Erin's Queen. Elder Simeon Carter, who has been laboring in this country two or three years, sailed on this ship for America. He was appointed the president of the company; and we trust that peace and prosperity will attend him until he shall again meet with his brethren in the land of Joseph. . . ."

". . .No deaths among the Saints upon the Erin's Queen. . . ."

"THIRTY-FIFTH COMPANY -- Erin's Queen 232 souls. The ship Erin's Queen sailed from Liverpool for New Orleans, September 7th, 1848, having on board two hundred and thirty two second cabin passengers, including infants; all of these, with the exception of two or three persons, were Saints. The people of Liverpool were astonished to see the order and regularity among them; for while large companies of emigrants upon other ships generally were conspicuous for their cursing and swearing, and were continually finding fault with each other, songs of praise and prayer were ascending up to heaven from the Erin's Queen. Elder Simeon Carter, an American elder, who had labored as a missionary in the British Isles two or three years, was appointed president of the company, which had a prosperous voyage. While numbers of passengers who had crossed the ocean about the same time, died on board, not one of the Saints on the Erin's Queen was lost, and only a very little sickness prevailed among them. The officers and crew were kind and courteous to the passengers; but there were some complaints in regard to the provisions served out on board, the fare not being as good as that provided by law. From New Orleans, passage was secured on a steamboat, with which the journey was continued up the river to St. Louis , Missouri, where the company arrived November 6th, 1848, well and in good spirits. All the Saints stopped at St. Louis for the winter, except four families who went up to Alton, Illinois. Nearly all got employment immediately after their arrival in St. Louis. (Millennial Star, Vol. X, page 281; Vo. XI, pages 7, 15, 54.)"

"September. Thurs. 7. [Sep 1848] -- The ship Erin's Queen sailed from Liverpool, England, with 323 Saints, under the direction of Simeon Carter, bound for St. Louis, where the emigrants arrived Nov. 6th. Most of them remained there during the winter."
