Between 1879 and 1916, a total of 42 ships made 87 voyages, carrying Indian indentured labourers to Fiji.
A total of 60,965 passengers left India but only 60,553 (including births at sea) arrived in Fiji.
The most important man on these ships was the Surgeon-Superintendent, who supervised the medical care, ventilation, clothing, cleanliness and exercise of the passengers and his authority extended over the Captain.
He inspected the stores before departure and reported on any defects during the trip.
