GenoaFremantle, Western Australia

The Protea left Genoa on 11 February 1949 and 733 people are recorded disembarking at Fremantle on 18 March. The count is of names on a volunteer transcription of the Australian manifest, covering those who landed in Western Australia while the ship carried others onward, so it is a minimum figure for the voyage and covers all nationalities.
