Notes about the Sacramento shipwreck
Sacramento
The three-masted sailing ship Sacramento was just three years old when it struck disaster on the Point Lonsdale reef at the treacherous entrance to Victoria’s Port Phillip Bay in April 1853. It was when the newly created colony was in the grip of gold fever and thousands of emigrants were pouring in from all over the globe seeking their fortunes. Dozens of ships with large passenger-carrying capacities were plying the oceans bringing their human cargoes to Australia and many met with disaster. In the case of the Sacramento, there were more than 300 passengers and crew on board, en route to Melbourne from London. The drama unfolded on the night of April 26 1853 after land near Port Phillip’s entrance was sighted. The captain ordered the ship to stand off the heads until morning when he planned to enter the harbour. During the night, the ship began drifting toward shore but no immediate attempt was made to do anything. The captain was called from his bed at 3am but it was too late to save the ship. It struck Lonsdale reef 10 minutes later. Luckily, all passengers and crew were able to safely go ashore, averting what could have been a major calamity. They were taken in drays to Queenscliff and later continued their journey to Melbourne aboard a bay steamer. The Sacramento quickly began breaking up, and within a week the hull snapped in two, littering nearby beaches with wreckage. Before the ship was lost, 12 chests of coins holding $120,000 were recovered. The captain and second mate were charged over the wreck. The captain’s case was tossed out after all the witnesses disappeared. The mate was sentenced to four months jail.
Web Site Highlights Shipwrecks- Sacramento
www.greatoceanrd.org.au/highlights/shipwrecks/sacramento.aspSacramento. Wooden ship, 447 tons. Built 1850. Captain W. Holmes. Inward bound from London with some 300 emigrants, drifted on to Point Lonsdale reef, Port Phillip Heads, 27 April 1853. All on board were safely landed and taken in drays to Queenscliff; SS Aphrasia took them on to Melbourne. Just before the ship broke up Captain Holmes, the carpenter and Pilot Mansfield went on board and recovered twelve boxes of coin valued at about £60,000. This was taken to Melbourne on the Government schooner Empire. The vessel Van Gallan, and the steamer Aphrasia assisted. There was no loss of life, however the many immigrants on board lost all their possessions and with a government offering ‘only meagre support’, most were left destitute, a sad ending to a long voyage to a new land.

THE SACRAMENTO, ship, with 300 Government emigrants, went on shore at Point Lonsdale, at 3.30 a.m. on the 27th. The passengers were all being landed by the assistance of the pilots. The Van Gellan picked up her long boat with first and second officer, drifting out to sea, belonging to above vessel. She also reports the sea breaking over her. She has £70,000 pecies on board, which was not landed when this intelligence left. She is expected to become a total wreck.
The Melbourne Morning Herald Friday 29th April 1853:
WRECK AT THE HEADS. - [From the Geelong Advertiser]. - The barque Sacramento, Holmes, master, from London, with 250 Government emigrants, arrived off the heads yesterday. About three o'clock, a.m., the ship struck upon Point Lonsdale reef, about one mile from shore, and four from the lighthouse. The long boat, life boat, and two smaller boats, were immediately hoisted out, and the landing of the immigrants commenced. Some were taken to the shore, and others landed temporarily on the reef. The news was brought to Geelong yesterday afternoon by the Rev. Mr. Lord, chaplain to the Sacramento. When he left the pilot station yesterday morning at nine, the boats were busily engaged in landing the immigrants, but as a heavy surf was running, the process was necessarily slow, and even if the weather remained favourable, it would occupy the greater portion of yesterday to land them all. The condition of some of the poor creatures, crowding into the boats, many of them in their night dresses only, was truly pitiable. From the ship's position she is not likely to be got off, and in the meantime the immigrant's luggage and cargo is in jeopardy; indeed, as the weather has since been very squally, the vessel has most likely already gone to pieces. The Rev. Mr. Lord says that the greatest kindness was shown by Captain Preston, Mr. Foy, and the pilots, and also by Mrs. Dodd, who resides near the station. The Sacramento left London on the 22nd December, and was detained by stress of weather in the Downs for nearly a month. About ten days after leaving, the surgeon died of an affection of the throat. Several other deaths had occurred, chiefly of infants. On the death of the surgeon, Mr. Lord acted in his stead, and was so far fortunate that only one death (an infant) occurred subsequently. Several vessels passed up the Western Channel yesterday, so that the news of the wreck will have reached the Government. Our local immigration agent will proceed overland this morning with supplies of comforts for those who have been landed.
The Melbourne Morning Herald Wednesday 4th May 1853:
THE SACRAMENTO WRECK. - But little remains of this vessel, she is totally broken up. Her deck timbers lie about a hundred yards from the skeleton of the hull, which is broken in two, and apparently not two bullock loads of timber remain. She brought only about 30 tons of cargo, chiefly spirits and ale - consigned to order. Her masts went overboard just twenty-four hours after she struck. The beach between point Lonsdale and the Bluff is strewn with fragments of the wreck. The conduct of Mr. and Mrs. Porter, at the Flag Staff, deserves the highest commendation. Mr. Foy, superintendent of the Lighthouse, displayed great promptitude in sending a dray to convey the shipwrecked emigrants to the Heads, where they were greatly indebted to the hospitality of Mrs. Dodds, at the Government house, whose liberality on this, as on previous occasions, cannot be otherwise than deeply appreciated. Happily no accident to life, or limb occurred to any on board the ill-fated vessel. - Geelong Advertiser.
The Melbourne Morning Herald Thursday 5th May 1853:
THE SACREMENTO. - We are happy to state that although the wreck of the Sacremento has been disastrous and the loss of the vessel, the cargo, and the luggage must be much felt by those to whom it belonged, yet it is so far cheering to know that no lives have been lost. When the immigration agents of Geelong arrived at the Heads, the scene was heart-rending, as many as possible of the immigrants had been sheltered and fed by the Pilots, but there were neither food nor accommodation for three hundred people. The consequence was that many of the sufferers were scatted on the beach, wringing their hands in despair, and what tended to heighten the distress was that relations had lost each other in the confusion. The arrival of the Government agent with provisions and other comforts was a most acceptable relief. Steps were immediately taken to find out the scattered and lost, which was successful, and on the arrival of the Aphrasia from Melbourne, they safely embarked and were conveyed to Melbourne. - Geelong Advertiser.

Amos & Eliza sailed on the "Dirigo" out of Liverpool on 20 Dec 1859, arriving 13 Apr 1860.
Immigration arrival documetns show Amos as a tailor and he is travelling with his wife, son of 7months old and niece- Julia who is seven years old.Amos put his occupation as farmer at the time of his daughter Mary's birth.
Amos and Eliza Pearse, who had been resident in the district for some years, purchased a little over an acre of land adjacent to George Preddey's other Bexley property and on it they erected a General Store.
Mrs. Pearse's Bexley Store was to remain Bexley's only store for nearly 20 years.Eliza Pearse was, by calling, a lady's maid. She had arrived in Australia with her husband in 1860. One of their two children had died on the terrible four month s-long voyage. Another nine children were to be born to them in Australia.
The original building was a tiny white-washed structure of wooden slabs built almost flat on the ground with a wooden shingle roof. Later it was provided with a brick front and the roof changed to corrugated iron.
The rear of the property was leased to a Scottish blacksmith Henry Hoggan, whose son became General Manager of the Australian Gas Light Company, and Amos Pearse, although a tailor by trade, became a competent market gardener keeping the small community supplied with poultry and vegetables.
THE BEXLEY POST OFFICE
With the break-up of the old Bexley Land Grant in the 1850s and the establishment of a settlement at Gannon's Forest, Bexley was regarded in official circles as being part of that area and it was not until November, 1882, after considerable local agitation, that an unofficial post office was established in Mrs. Eliza Pearse's Bexley Store with Mrs. Pearse as Postmistress.
The huge increase in population in the late 1880s resulted in requests to expand its services from that of selling stamps and providing a mail bag for the receipt of letters, but all to no avail.
In August, 1899, Mrs. Pearse's daughter, Jessie, who had married John P. Clune, a member of the well-known hotel family from Arncliffe, wrote to the Postmaster General's Department to inform them that her mother's health was falling and offering to take over her duties.
Mrs. Clune was appointed Postmistress the following month.
