<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> American Fleets</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Many
wonderful books have been written on America's many diverse fleets, the
passenger services, the Grain fleets, the Fish trade, Guano, Coal,
Timber you name it they have shipped it all over the world. They also
had a large Whaling fleet that thankfully is now gone whilst the whales
recuperate and get some of their numbers back.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I
will try to cover every major event and will borrow heavily from
newspaper clippings, shipping lists and from great Authors like Basil
Lubbock whom I consider second to none in the world of sailing ships.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">CONVICT SHIPS.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Chapter #1</span> </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This
is perhaps one subject that will not go down well with many Americans
but in reality, many convict ships brought their forebears to America
especially during the years 1718 through 1776 where convicts were used
alongside African slaves in the fields and plantations of the American
mainland. The </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">West Indies Plantations were used prior to 1718 as destinations for convicts. </span>Black
slavery was a product of the English during the years in which America
was controlled by them But when the English had gone, slavery had to be
picked up in the African trade so that the plantations could be better
man powered.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It is intolerable that the records </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">for the convict ships </span>have
mostly been destroyed but I have seen full lists of convicts among
Australian records for both America and South African shipments. One
American publication that purports to give such lists is;</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The complete book of emigrants in bondage 1614-1775 <span class="title_resp_stmt">[compiled by] Peter Wilson Coldham. This book [I believe] covers the American convict transportation only.</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="title_resp_stmt">I</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="title_resp_stmt"><span style="font-size: x-large;">t
is common knowledge that America has rid itself of it's convict
background in an effort to look "clean" but this has made it difficult
for those who wish to know their forefathers and believe me, America
received it's fair share of convicts during the 1700's. The only worry
with having a transported convict ancestor is finding your roots if the
records have been destroyed, ask any Australian or South African, there
is nothing to be ashamed of by having a convict ancestor. Somewhere in
history it is likely that all families had their black sheep who were
not particularly nice convict or not.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Most
of the ships I will mention or describe in this post will not have much
more than a description due to the American registry being something
that I am not too old to dig into. I can though place any incoming
information on ships and any data on ships that I have not mentioned.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Early
shipping to the Americas was of course handled by England, Spain,
Germany, Holland and France with other nationalities joining in as
America got into the mainstream.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It
did not take them long to begin their own shipping lines and Navy and
by Napoleonic times, were quite adept at their seaworthiness.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Early
shipping lines were led by the Blackball Line followed by the Red Line
and others. By this time, America had set it's sight on being the
fastest with ships on any ocean.</span><br />

Americans were extremely constructive in their business dealings once
the American civil war had ended. Soon they were trading all over the
world with the much sought after softwoods of that country. The ‘round
the Horn’ trade, was perhaps the most hazardous of all sailing ship
voyages. It caused many ships to disappear without trace and Captains
were forced to shanghai sailors or even landsmen during the goldrush
days. Many a drunken free spirit awoke from his inn-ebriated slumber, to
find himself on the high seas, headed for the dreaded Cape. It is said
that even a vicar was once belted over the head with a belaying pin
while headed home one night. He too, spent the next few months up in the
rigging. Shipwrecks were a common item around Cape Horn. Staten Island
and Tierra del Fuego bore silent witness to many vessels that were lost
on their cold and lonely shores.</span></b></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>This historic work is a unique
compilation of the great sailing ships that sailed the world’s
oceans from the 15<sup>th</sup> to the 20<sup>th</sup> century. It has taken some thirty years to complete and is only now in it's final edit stages.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Enriched by many wonderful tales from the
period, it is unique in that it has combined files stored by Lloyds
Register, newspaper articles, advertisements and personal diaries
from throughout the colonies. Included are many enjoyable tales from
those intrepid sea folk and pioneers, who traveled abroad in tall
ships. </b></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The Warren Register is centered on those
vessels that played an important role in Australia and New Zealand.xs colonial
history. Many tall ships are also listed, that were not so well known
but never the less, transported people and stores to Australia and New Zealand.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The Register offers the family researcher
a more comprehensive work that will is a source of information, not
only for famous vessels, but also for the lesser known ships, that
brought our ancestors to their new lands. Major focus has been placed
upon shipping that had a role to play in the settlement of Australia
and New Zealand. Albeit oceanic protector, coastal protector, convict
ship, passenger liner or cargo carrier.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>There has been no attempt to enter the
domain of the professional historian in regard to specialized
information on Naval battles or vessels, only data on those vessels
that had a direct or in some cases, a little indirect influence on
the colonies, have been recorded.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The Warren Register,</span> covers the period
beginning with the rise of British naval strength [from about 1500
AD] to the final grain carrier leaving Australia in 1949. The
colonial period for Australian and New Zealand bound sailing ships,
is of course dated from 1768, to about 1950.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Ships that assisted in the settlement of
Australia and New Zealand, including shipboard tales and historic
events, dominate the Register. American, African and French Pacific
convict settlements or the history of how convicts established those
areas, are not included in this colonial work.</b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><b>Convict Register:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>A full and concise work is included
herewith, on the 80-year period between 1788 and 1868, for those
vessels that were involved in the transportation of people and
supplies to the new settlements. Included also, is a small number of
convict lists for a selection of vessels that were used as
transports. </b></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>A section covers the early Battle
frigates and Coastal protectors that were important to the colonies
and their citizens. These though, are only touched upon as an added
enjoyment to the reader, for many wonderful books have been written
on the old fighting ships and their heroic deeds.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The colonization of Africa, America,
Australia and New Zealand by British stock, is</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>the result of the English ability to
control the worlds oceans. Although other countries did organise
their own colonies throughout the world, nothing compared to the
empire that Great Britain created.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>To many people, Australia stands out as,
‘The’ country that was settled by convicts, the fact is that
without convicts; none of the world’s colonies [including America]
would have been started. Africa and America, were the main areas for
transportation of convicts before the East Coast of Australia was
claimed by Captain Cook in 1768, the Americans later rebelled for
economic reasons and formed their own nation.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Young men and women from all parts of
Great Britain were sent to Australia, where they began new lives in a
new country. Boys and girls as young as twelve years, were
transported for petty crimes that ranged from the theft of a piece of
bread, a handkerchief or stealing a shaving brush from a stable.
There were of course, those who committed the worst possible crimes
included among them but those who did murder usually ended their days
upon the gallows.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Britain, needed a base in the Southern
latitudes, so once Australia was seen as a military and naval base
that would easily control the South Pacific, England was quick to
establish ownership over the great south land, this was done just in
advance of French explorers.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Britain’s loss of the American colonies
was due purely the political problems of the time. She would not have
lost their loyalty had the circumstances been different. The same
problems almost arose in Australia during the time of the Eureka
Stockade.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Whilst this work has not covered every
passenger and cargo vessel that ever sailed upon the worlds oceans,
It does try to include the more notable and as many of the not so
notable ships as could be found. One should remember that many
smaller vessels such as brigantines, schooners, snows and even
cutters, were able to sail to Australia quite easily and many
families settled for a little more comfort on a small vessel, than
the crowded conditions aboard the larger sailing ships. Some Cape
Horners have also been included perhaps because of their ability to
sail through such powerful seas and also because many of these
American ships were bought by the English for use in Australia
building.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>If perchance, the researcher is unable to
find the vessel on which his forebears arrived, it is likely that
they came by one of the smaller vessels that were not recorded. These
vessels could be as small as a cutter or as large as a Brigantine.
After the Suez Canal opened in 1869, steamers and auxiliaries were
able to make the journey in much faster time. When steamships arrived
upon the scene, the extremes of cold in the southern latitudes were
avoided and sea voyaging improved.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Soon even small paddle steamers were
making the voyage and as the wealth of the new nation began to
trickle back to England, so the emigrant flow to the colonies, became
a flood. Although the age of sail had been upstaged by steam and then
oil. People still are and perhaps always will be attracted to that
wonderful era, when only the thump of wave against hull, winds high
in the rigging and the slap of canvas could be heard. Especially
whilst it was only these wonderful tall ships, that sailed the
worlds oceans. </b></span>

<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>It is hoped that the Warren Encyclopedic
Register of Colonial Tall Ships will ultimately be seen as a very
handy work for those who need to know.</b></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="color: #00000a;">Foreword</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>My own experiences at sea, have come from perhaps
today’s most rugged sea-going work, the humble fish trade. During
the late 1960’s, I found my way to Western Australia and joined the
Cray fishing [Lobster] fleet at the small coastal town of Geraldton on
the central coast of that state. I have recorded my experiences and
hope that those who have served aboard any Australian fishing vessel,
will be able to find some brotherly sympathy for a would be fisherman
and sailor.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">Chapter 1</span><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></b></span><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="color: black;">From dust to spindrift.</span> </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;"> Whilst still in my early twenties and working amid clouds of dust and flies in the West Australian bush, I decided that it had to be much better and cooler work aboard a fishing boat and so I headed for the deep blue briny to
tackle life at sea. Having left my position as a Jackaroo on a central Western Australian sheep station, I arrived at the small town and fishing
port of Geraldton, Western Australia at the beginning of the red Crayfish season of 1968.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Almost immediately I began searching for a
position as deckhand on one of the local crayfish [lobster] boats. The passage of time has dispersed from memory the exact date I arrived in that quiet little town but it was at the
beginning of the red [coastal] crayfish season while most of the cray boats were
undergoing their usual clean up and repair work during the lull between
seasons.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;"> It appears that the Crayfish change their color
at different times of the year, perhaps due to shell growth or maybe
it’s the color they choose for the coastal reef sojourn. At any rate, they're color was an already-cooked deep red and that is all to be said on
that point. Months later, while taking off for deeper waters at the
end of the red season, they change their shell color to a
pinkish white and maybe the deeper waters have something to do with that.</span> </b><br />
<br />
<b>I had recently been employed on a desert sheep
station and after the dust and flies of the Western Australian
outback, I was certainly looking for something a little cooler and
different to do. On my first day in town, I spent some hours marching along the waterfront past fishing vessels laden with what seemed to be wooden cages with
pieces of railway line tied inside them. Ropes and floats were neatly
bundled on top of each of these contraptions, so I assumed rightly,
that these were what were used to capture hungry Crayfish.</b><br />
<br />
<b> <span style="color: #00000a;">I had been born and raised </span><span style="color: #00000a;">in the mining town
of Broken Hill, NSW and had little time or experience in, around or with the sea, except for the
Christmas holidays. In those years, we spent an ideal two weeks
splashing about at Adelaide [South Australia] beaches. Any boating was usually restricted to floating
around in a rubber dinghy near the little river town of Menindee on
the Darling River. This though, only happened on very rare occasions
when our father decided to go fishing for Murray Cod.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">I had always dreamed of going to sea as do most
young lads who fancy watery excitement. Why, had I not spent my first
walking years, strutting around in a Popeye the Sailor suit? I was
ready to give a sea-going career a go, I was 23 years old and just
crazy enough to think that a life at sea would be easy and much less skin destroying than the bush. Why, if the sun got too warm, you could just slide
over the side of the boat and enjoy a leisurely swim for an hour or
two and who cared if there were countless fathoms [and countless
sharks] beneath your feet.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">All round the little seaside town of Geraldton, with
its rocky man-made-harbor wall, sounds of hammering and the
intermittent flash of brilliant blue light that came from portable
welders, gave one the feeling that the fishermen were gearing up for
a heavy season of plenty.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">After perhaps two hours asking and wandering among the
many fishing boats, I eventually found myself directed toward a
vessel that turned out to be a thirty six foot Catamaran. The vessel
appeared to look very much like a pair of Dutch wooden shoes with wooden planks
holding them together and it sat almost completely ashore whilst its owner pottered about the two hulls. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">I had never seen such a weird looking vessel
[except while making little wooden rafts out of icy-pole sticks as a
child]. After stepping over and around tools, boxes and buckets, I was able to broach the owner of
this enterprise while he was dabbing red paint onto one of the two steel hulls of his very strange looking craft.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">When I first arrived in Geraldton, I was told
that it would be very hard to find work as a deckhand or for that
matter, any work at all to do with the fishing industry. Each vessel
had its regular crew and they did not like having to train new men
during the coastal season. Time always seemed to be the problem, for
work was hard and was done just as quickly as the sea and weather would
allow.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Taking a very deep breath, I introduced
myself to the big Australian [whom I was later to find was of very Irish
extract] and told him that I had come in from the bush and although I
did not know much about being a deckhand, I was strong and an
extremely good worker. I told him that he would not regret
hiring me, especially if, [as I had been told] he had a position available.</span> </b><br />
<br />
<b>The man looked me up and down as if I were
somewhat mad, there seemed to be a kind of quizzical look in his eyes
[his name was Kelly] and I could not quite make out what his eyes were
saying or just what was going on in them. But then a flicker of a
grin touched at the corners of his mouth, it was as if he had realized that a joke had been played on him. Suddenly, he turned away
and after a moment with his back still toward me said, “Yeah, okay, your hired, be here tomorrow at
6am to help me get this boat ready”. He then strode away with a
stray sand fly trailing like a dutiful sucker fish, behind him.<span style="color: #00000a;"> </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Up early the following morning, I sat waiting at the
beach where the Catamaran lay with its dual bows still perched on the sand
like a cat awaiting its breakfast. I watched the sun rise while I slowly
counted my lucky stars at having found a job so quickly. Then finally, at
about 6am, the skipper arrived and my anticipation was relieved..</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Some months later I would realize why the job
was so easily found, one thing I did notice about this man was that
he was always very quiet when on land. He did not say much to me nor
I to him, other than to ask the odd question as to where should I put
this or where would I find that and he certainly spoke even less to other men involved in fishing..</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Kelly had purchased some drums of foul smelling
chemicals and was engaged in preparing some kind of mixture which
when combined, had to be poured hurriedly into each hull. This seemed
very strange to me, why was he trying to sink the damned thing before
we even got it back in the water? </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">After a few hours of making guesses
at just what we were achieving, he suddenly burst out and told me
that “These hulls are going to be unsinkable with this stuff inside
them!” He then told me that the chemicals were hardening into a
type of Polystyrene, the same type of material that the cray boats
used for the bowling ball sized floats that were used to hold the
ropes that were connected to the crayfish pots. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This of course should have sent warning messages to me, why the hell was he worried about </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">making his boat unsinkable, why such cautious preparations to save from sinking his boat? Where would we be sailing that could or would cause such concern while pulling up cray pots from the deep?</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">After two more days of maintenance work that lasted from
the early hours of the morning to late into the evening, the repairs
and additions were gradually overcome and we were ready to go to sea. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This was the
moment I had been waiting for and the closer we came to leaving on
our first day of fishing, the more excited I became. One thing I should have noted was that there was no sunshade on the Cat and any bushman will tell you that it is always best to have something around to keep the sun off.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Kelly [my skipper] had been a policeman in his
younger years but he did not appear to have the proper authoritative
strength required for that line of work, he hardly spoke to anyone at
all. But he was a very good worker when it came to manual labor and it was not long before we were
off to give the vessel a tryout. She had been given an engine
overhaul on the twin Perkins diesels and she needed a good test run
for the grueling workdays ahead.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">We spent perhaps an hour getting clear of the
little harbor and out onto a bowling green flat sea that made me feel like we were sailing on glass except for a slight nudge occasionally to left or
right from a small rogue wave or two. This tended to give one the
suggestion that the Catamaran was somewhat feminine in the way she
wiggled her hips as she danced this way and that across the swell. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Suddenly I realized why sailors have always referred to their vessels
as “She”, this realization made me feel that I had suddenly become one with
all those who had gone to sea before me. Oh what a chest full of
pride I had, here was I, a desert nomad who had found his sea legs and without the slightest touch of sea sickness!</span></b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Heading South</b></i><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The following morning, we set out with our many
cray pots stacked high on the deck of our pot carrier which Kelly
conveniently named “It”. If ‘It’ could have been a bit
longer, "It" would have passed for a ‘Palais de Dans’ floor. The
Catamaran was about 36 feet long with wood planking running the whole
length of the vessel and “It” had what looked like a Podium
behind which the skipper or helmsman stood to steer the vessel. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This
is where the wheel had been set, otherwise, the vessel was as flat as
a pancake with no cover against the sun or weather. In front of the
Podium, there was what Kelly called "the Well” which was a 4 foot
square area that housed the two Perkins Diesels. This pit was about 3 or 4
feet deep and was covered by a wooden hatch that kept sea spray off
the engines but still allowed air to reach them.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The Podium was set aft, about ten feet from the
stern and it was about 5 feet high. There was a rope railing round
the vessel which was about 18 inches above the deck and this was all
one could take hold of if one happened to get into nasty
circumstances. At the rear of the well and below the deck, two outboard “legs” with
propellers drove the vessel along.</span></b><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Fishing Begins</b></span></i><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">We had been making our way down the coast for about two or
three hours when he announced that we had arrived in our fishing area, withing minutes I spotted a
line of floats off our starboard side and promptly let him know of
their existence, to which he replied that I should not come up with
damned nautical sayings until I had been at sea a while. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">He told me
that the cray pots I could see were in fact ours and that they had
been laid very early [about 1 am] that morning by the skipper of a large deep sea
cray boat that had left Geraldton the night before. Kelly had done a
deal with the Captain and had the pots dropped overboard where we
would now commence our red crayfish season. I knew that this was not
a legal exercise and that Kelly had far too many pots out but I
suppose he felt that he had to compete.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Now it was my turn to learn how to lay pots and
how to tie the half sheep heads securely inside them. Hopefully, this
would attract and then lure the crayfish inside the pots to their
doom. After baiting and pot laying had ended, I began to feel queasy,
it had now been sixteen hours since I had been on land and my stomach
decided that whatever was still inside should not be there. Suddenly
I did not feel the proud sailor anymore and any fish following the
Cat did not have to wait long for dinner. I was left with a somewhat
weird feeling that continued for the rest of that day, right up until
and long after we arrived back at Geraldton.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">One of the more noticeable effects my first day
at sea had on me, was the odd way my world seemed to be going up and
down and from side to side. I could not understand why it continued
on, without being still for a single moment, surely my brain knew we were back on
land. Before going to bed, I took a nice hot shower thinking that
would settle my motion sickness. But no, the shower cubicle seemed to
have a rock and roll movement all of its own and I resigned myself to the fact that this must all be part of being a sailor.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The next day, we drove south in two vehicles so
that we could leave his four-wheel drive near where we would moor the
Catamaran a little south of the town of Greenough, about twenty miles
from Geraldton.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">After passing through Greenough, we turned in
off the main road and headed toward the coast to a place the skipper
called Flat Rocks. Here we left the four-wheel drive near a beach
house owned by a friend of his and we drove back to Geraldton in my old 1948 Vauxhall, before retiring for
an early night in preparation for the hard day to come.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">At 5am next morning we headed back to Flat Rocks
but this time in the Catamaran and we had loaded up with sacks of
sheep heads that we had purchased the evening before from the local
slaughter house. We were carrying the last of Kelly’s official
allowance of pots and these I baited on the way down to Flat Rocks. I
then stacked them ready for throwing overboard. There were about
30 or so pots ready on deck when we finally arrived so I felt that I
was in for an easy time.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Sailing on the Catamaran had its pleasures. In
fact when there was little to do, it became so enjoyable with the
fresh sea breeze in my face and the smell of salt in the air, that
soon all the hard work was forgotten, it was so easy then to be at
peace with everything and everyone.</span></b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Flat Rocks Fishing</b></i><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">When we arrived at our site, I was shown how to
retrieve a float with a grapple and how to run the rope around the
winch until the pot was dragged up onto a wheelbarrow shaped
contraption. The handles of this were pulled back and down and the
pot slid aboard a metal plate where it could be emptied, re-baited or
taken aboard ready to be transported to a new site.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Once the pot came aboard, it was vacated of
whatever was inside, if the catch was good then it would be heaved
over board for another try at them. Some of the most amusing scenes
took place during this fast and furious work. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This amusement happened mostly
because the skipper wanted to keep the vessel moving. He also wanted
the job done quickly so we could get the days catch back to the Cray
Factory and in his case, to spend as little time at sea as possible.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">That evening we left the Catamaran at her
mooring just inside the two reefs that ran parallel to the shore and went
home in the four-wheel drive. The trip from the mooring to the
vehicle took the best part of an hour due to the fact that we had two
full bags of crayfish to carry half a mile up through the sand hills
to the car.</span></b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #00000a;">Seeing Kelly in action </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">During the months ahead I would come to realize
that the skipper had no real affinity with the sea and I am
sure that it hated him just as much as he disliked being on, in or around
the ocean. I also believe that he had only given up his career in the
police force because of the lure of big money from the cray fishing
industry.</span></b><i><span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: small;">The Protagonists [ or ‘Kelly and the Octopus’]</span><span style="color: #00000a;"> </span></b></i><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;"> One of the many very funny episodes that occurred
during my new career happened one day while we were taking in our
catch. I, for the first time ever, found a rather morbid looking,
large brown octopus inside one of the pots. This ugly slimy denizen
of the deep had a head about the size of a football, with tentacles
at least two or more feet long. It kept slithering from one end of the
cray pot to the other and the longer I took to catch it, the angrier
the skipper became. Finally, in exasperation he bellowed at me to stand by the helm, while he would show me how to handle the situation.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Well now, he did just that, n’all, n’all.
He reached in and took hold of that ugly thing and dragged it out
of the pot and into what looked like a bad situation for the many-legged creature. The Skipper had, in his other hand, a very evil looking
sheath knife.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Well that Octopus had only one thought and that
was to get back into the deep blue briny and not to be severed from
connection with its eight thrashing tentacles. Then, for some reason,
it thought that the quickest way back to the ocean, was along the arm
that held it. In seconds, the suckers on that slimy slippery thing
were dragging its slimy body out of Kelly's grasp. Suddenly and to my
great mirth, the eight arms were wrapped tightly around Kelly's head while
the octopus had pressed itself hard up against Kelly's face while
it surveyed the area for an escape route.</span><i> </i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Astaire and Kelly<span style="color: #00000a;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">At that very moment, began one of the
strangest dance routines one could ever see. First the knife
clattered to the deck as the skipper reached up in horror with both
hands, trying to tear the slippery despicable looking animal from
his face. Then a slow beginning to an odd dance, somewhat like a Sailors Hornpipe, evolved to open the
ledger on a jig that even professional hoofers would have been proud to do as Kelly's legs kept trying to maintain their footing on the cat until his staggers degraded into god knows what kind of movement.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Round and around they went in a stumbling
sprawling version of a wild tribal dance, “Yagrh, Yagrhh, Yagrh, Yah,
Yaaaah” he roared, while I tried with all my might to cut the
engines down to slow while wiping away the enormous amount of tears
rolling down my cheeks. My stomach ached so bad from laughing that
even though I was doubled over I could not take my eyes off the
incredible scene that was taking place on our promenade deck.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Here I was, witnessing one of the great love
hate relationships of all time; Kelly and his Octopus whirled and
flapped about in gay abandon like two lovers in a passionate embrace.
The glugs and gurgles coming from somewhere within the tightly wound
arms of the Octopus almost drove me into hysterics, to which of
course, I could not allow sound effects. So all I could do was watch
and cry with mirth as the two danced around and around, from one end of the boat
to the other.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Finally after what seemed like long minutes,
Kelly managed to rid himself of his dance partner, he did so not by
pulling at it but by stopping his dance in exhaustion at which time
the Octopus decided to beat a hasty retreat. After falling sloppily
to the deck, the creature gave him one last glowering look from between the scuppers and then
it appeared to bow slightly, before dropping joyfully over the side.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The skipper looked at me so red-faced and angry
that I had to bite my lip quickly for he always found little humor
in his own mistakes. He glowered and said, “I’ll hear nothing
more of this” or words to that effect and returned to the helm. I
guess there really was nothing that I could say but for the rest of
that day at least and every so often, I would start chuckling and
then struggle to suppress it in case the Skipper heard me. I am sure
that no greater dance will I ever see no matter how long I live, than
that which I will always call ‘Kelly’s Octopus Polka’.</span></b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Pottering about</b></i><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">No matter what occurred on a day to day basis,
work went on as usual and long hours at sea passed by and each trip
brought a new adventure. We would set our pots along one section of
the coastal reefs or another and whenever we shifted, something would
happen to make the trip interesting.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">One morning during the coastal season, we
arrived at Flat Rocks and began carting the usual five cray bags of
sheep heads down to the beach. We would carry one each for about 100
metres and then return for the others, backward and forwards until we
got them to the boat. Thankfully, most of the journey was down hill
but it was very sandy, so much so, that the four wheel drive was
unable to get over the first ridge of sand and therefore the only way
we could get to and from the beach was to walk.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">For perhaps two hours we toiled, carting the
sheep heads down to the mooring. When we had completed this task one
could easily say that a days work had already been done. But into the
dinghy we jump with our several hundred pounds of sheep heads and
off we did row. Merrily we went, with the Skipper sitting on the
stern like Admiral Lord Nelson and directing me this way and that, as
I rowed patiently out to the Cat some two hundred meters offshore.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The Skipper told me to swing out and around to
the seaward side of the Cat. At this, I protested, we were very low
in the water and the waves coming over the reef were about twelve to
eighteen inches high. This left me a little concerned that we might
be swamped. It was not that I felt that I was more knowledgeable of
the sea than the Skipper, it was just plain commonsense. The sea was
going to swamp us because we were running too low but the Skipper
refused to see what I meant.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">‘But no,’ Kelly said. ‘The gate is on
the other side and it was easier to unload the bags there’. So
instead of trying to manhandle them over the rope, it would be
better, in his opinion, to try our luck against the little waves. So
I did what I was told but no sooner were we in position at the gate,
than sure enough, a two footer came bounding over our side and down we
went like a stone.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Perhaps in afterthought I could have placed the
dingy stern first against the side of the Catamaran thereby allowing
the dingy to face the waves but this was the first time I had ever
rowed a boat on anything more than a slightly choppy river.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The dingy tilted over on its side as she went
under and all five bags of bait sank ten feet to the bottom along
with our food and drinking water. The Skipper had grabbed hold of the
Cat as we were going down. He hauled himself out of there without wetting his boots while I was
left floundering about cursing silently under my breath. The skipper
looked down at me with the churlish look one gets when he has
realized his mistake but all he said was; “Well, go down for the
bags then, hurry up!”</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">So down I went with the grapple and one at a
time they were retrieved from the bottom. I went back down and
brought up our water but the food was ruined and not at all edible.
As I pulled myself from the water, I turned to help lift the dinghy
up and empty her out. It was then that I saw the large amount of
blood in the water. I blessed the fact that it was all from the sheep
heads and not from me. Within minutes, two or three sharks were
swimming around our Catamaran each of them seemed to be looking up at
me, with what appeared to be disappointment in their glassy eyes.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Perhaps I am not the most experienced sailor in
the world but commonsense should have prevailed in this matter and it
was about now in my cray fishing career, that I began to go on the
defensive. We were at sea when we heard that one of the very large
crayfish boats had lost one of her deckhands overboard and by the
time we were retrieving our catch, there was already an air-sea
search taking place in the area where they thought he had gone
overboard. He was declared missing at 4am but no one was sure and the
vessel had been hurrying to get to her pot site and it was some hours
before they noticed he was not on board. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Chapter 3</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #00000a;">Tightrope</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Now I became somewhat concerned for my own well
being, Kelly was not all that safe in his seamanship. I had not thought about death or dying until about this time but my concern turned
to dread one morning as we were heading out to lay pots in an area
well off-shore in about 35 fathoms of water. The Skipper seemed
peeved about something as we came up on a line of pots and I yelled
at him to steer away as we were heading straight at the float lines.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The Skipper paid no attention to my yells and
just plowed straight into the first line, in fact he seemed to be aiming
to cut as many ropes as he could when suddenly, we came to a halt
with both engines shutting down. The big ex cop began marching up and down the
deck in a rage and he looked at me and said,” What are you waiting
for, over the side you go and see what fouled our props”. Well now,
I just knew something was going to happen and I also knew damn well
what had fouled our outboard legs, so I grabbed the big knife we had
for cutting the heads off octopus and slid into the sea alongside the
Cat. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">I went under the starboard hull and came up in the outboard legs chamber. I found both propellers had been wrapped very
tightly with half-inch pot ropes, so tightly in fact, that they were
extremely tough to cut.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Slowly, after about twenty minutes, with the
Skipper persistently asking how it was coming, I eventually managed
to free one of the legs from its bindings. The Skipper kept calling
intermittently, “have you finished yet”?</span></b><span style="color: #00000a;"><b> A</b></span><b>fter a while, I yelled back to him
that that I had completed one side and that I was cutting into the
second lot, when suddenly, right in front of my eyes, the freed prop
began to rotate.</b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;"></span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Slowly at first then faster it went and then my
bottom half began being drawn upward toward the spinning metal
dervish. I pushed away and downward with my arms using the leg that
was still hog-tied, as a lever, while trying to keep my legs from
being drawn in toward the propeller. I then commenced screaming at
the top of my lungs for Kelly to turn the bloody engine off. My yells
though, seemed to go unheeded. Closer and closer the devilish device
came, soon I began to fear, first for my manhood and then for my
life. I could see myself being completely castrated and gutted by
this little metal monster, for I was slowly being dragged closer and
closer. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Finally my frantic yelling must have caught his
ear for the engine stopped and his disembodied voice inquired as to
what all the bellowing was about. It was at this moment that I
decided to tell him about his real parentage while deep inside, my
thoughts were of the fact that the red season end was coming and
that I would begin looking for a new boat as soon as we took our
break.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Chapter 4</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #00000a;">The Silent Green </span></b></span><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Time rolled on until one afternoon as we were
heading back to our mooring in fairly bumpy seas; danger reared
its head again. The wind had risen dramatically, increasing the swell
which was running at about three to four feet on the incoming tide.
This was a usual situation at that time of the afternoon
on the West Coast of Australia. But this day there appeared to be a little more tension in the air, I could not define it but something was making me feel nervous.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Twin reefs about 100 feet apart, ran the length
of the shoreline at Flat Rocks. If my memory serves me well, there
was an opening at the northern end of the outer reef, through which
we had to pass to run about 800 meters south to a gap in the inner
reef. This then, allowed us to pass through to our mooring site. We were about a mile offshore when our troubles
began. One of the engines lost its electrical power and we were
forced to shut it down. We then had to continue in on one engine and
this would make the going a little bit dicey as the seas were getting up. We would be unable to
maintain normal steerage with only one prop operating, while trying
to make it through the outer reef, it could be done but it would be a difficult operation.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Then, as we were approaching the gap, the
skipper had to turn us beam on to the seas. He had misjudged the
entrance due to the surf covering the reef and hiding the gap until we were very close. We came up about fifty
metres short of the gap and the Skipper then elected to run alongside the reef until we could get through. We
were about fifty yards off the rocks as we motored slowly along with
both of us praying that we would be able to swing her in through the
gap in the reef.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The good engine was now running hot and on his orders, I had
to open the hatch and run water directly into her from the pump. I
was crouched in that position when I heard a dull roaring sound. When
I lifted my eyes, there was a wall of translucent green right there
in front of me, then it was surrounding me, then no noise, just a peaceful silence. It
was a serene sort of silence, which took hold of me and smothered
out all sounds of wind and sea.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">There was absolutely no feeling for the need of air; not
even a wish for air came to mind, I just marveled at how peaceful
it was inside that silent green envelope. There was no feeling of
damp not even fear, just peace and quiet. How strange that my
thoughts were not for survival or even to breathe. For what seemed an eternity, I seemed
to float as if weightless in that pale green world, is this what a
child in the womb might feel, was this the same sensation?</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Perhaps the shock of seeing such a large wave
towering over me had turned on my adrenaline. I still find it hard to
understand why I felt no concern at all for my safety or the
predicament I was now in, perhaps ignorance is bliss.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Suddenly, like thunder the noisiness of the
real world returned. It came crashing in around me like the
thunderous fury of an electrical storm. The Skipper had obviously seen it coming and though soaked, was still on his feet except now he was running up
and down in the one place yelling “The anchor the anchor”. Kelly had also received a good ducking but had held onto the
helm which was extremely solid and his only sufferance, was to look like a large half drowned cat. I was down in the engine well soaked and oily and trying to
regain my feet so I could drag myself out of the flooded and very cramped well space.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">We now had no engines and we were being driven
relentlessly toward the reef, which was about 30-40 meters,
distant, and it looked like we were in deep trouble. I looked at his
pointing arm and drew myself up out of the well to stagger drunkenly
toward the anchor, which I threw overboard while fervently hoping it
might catch before we struck. Luckily, it did and we sat there some
20 meters from the reef wondering what would transpire next. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">For the
first time, the Skipper showed some seamanship or rather mechanical sense that surprised even
me. He sprang into the well and began working on the tired and wet little
engine while I bailed the well out. The one working engine had seized
so he changed the battery leads over to the powerless engine. After
an hour or so of salty duckings and showers, we were able to get
underway.</span> With no further trouble we made it through the
entrance and once that was achieved, we were in waters that were much calmer and we
made it safely back to the mooring. There we tiredly unloaded our
catch of two well-soaked crayfish laden bags. It had grown dark while
we were tying up at our mooring and by the time we got our catch back
to the vehicle, it was almost ten o’clock at night, another hour to
get home and this day would be well done with.<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></b><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></b></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">I did not sail with my skipper Kelly for much longer, I had
been told on many occasions that I was taking a chance with his
seamanship but I always did like a challenge and frankly, I knew that I was no seaman either, I just went with the flow and tried to learn as I went. As I have previously
stated, ignorance is bliss. I was surprised some weeks later when the very first boat
I approached for the white cray season asked me for whom I had
worked. When told, they hired me without the slightest hesitation, my
new Skipper had only one question and this he asked in wonderment. “
You worked the whole season on that Catamaran? When I nodded, he
only shook his head and smiled.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">My memories of the many things that happened
while aboard that intrepid Cat, have not dimmed, it is a part of my
life that I shall not forget, as sole deckhand I had manhandled 165
cray pots each time we went out and only extremely bad weather stopped
us being there. I had lugged up to five full cray bags [150 pound
Potato sacks] a half mile up sand hills at the end of tiring days at sea. I
received [if my memory is correct] $10 per bag for my effort. We had
good days and we had bad days but the experiences that I had, have
served to remind me of the joys of just being alive.</span> </b><br />

<b>Chapter 6 </b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>My final days with Crays<span style="color: #00000a;"> </span></b></span><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">My next vessel proved to be one of those
special joys, the ‘Helen C’ carried three deckhands and the
workload was so much less, I felt extremely lucky to be aboard.
I was receiving the same amount per bag but the best we ever pulled
in on the Catamaran was five bags [once or twice] and on my new vessel we were doing
that almost every day. Sure there were quiet days but deckhands
earned a very good wage if they got the right boat. Although I did
miss the Catamaran and the quiet companionship of my Skipper, I had not too many
feelings of danger and was much less tired at the end of a day aboard this new vessel,
besides, the crew were all about my own age and we soon became friends
and shipmates. The only time we had danger on board that vessel was when a pot rope from a pot going out wrapped round my foot and dragged me down, my shipmates were on that rope until the skipper slowed enough for me to be set free of the pot.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">What happened to our Mr. Kelly? Well the last I
heard of him, was about three years later. This was when I met a cray
fisherman from Geraldton who was on holiday in Adelaide, to which
place I had moved a year or so before. He told me that one of the
boats had come across Kelly standing waist deep on a reef</span></b><b><span style="color: #00000a;"><b><span style="color: #00000a;"> near the Abrolhos Islands</span></b>, he was slapping the water while trying to keep a shark
away. The Cat was bottom up and had been put that way by his
sailing beam on again, to much heavier surf.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Apparently, they picked him up and he asked
them to help him right the Cat which they attempted to do by
partially sinking one of the hulls and then tying ropes to the other
in the hope of pulling her over. One of the ropes [with a float
attached] unwound itself and the float flew through the air like a
guided missile and struck our Mr. Kelly right on the forehead
knocking him senseless. Kelly was a tough man though and he was soon
up and about trying to salvage his boat.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">I have never tried to verify the truth to the
above event but for the most part, I believe that this is something
that would have quite probably eventuated. I myself hold Kelly fondly
in my memory and often wonder if he too, had at the time, shared in
the eerie feelings aroused by the silent green.</span></b><br />

<span style="color: #00000a;"> </span>
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"> </span>
<br />
<b><span style="color: black;"> <span style="font-size: large;">SETTLEMENT</span><span style="color: #00000a;"> The change in ship
design that led to the speedy clippers and powerful windjammers of
the 19</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> century began some four hundred years earlier during the 15</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
century and this gave form to the wonderful vessels that took us to
the end of the tall ship era. One wonders at the seamanship of those
intrepid sailors of two or three thousand years ago and of their
courage in facing the unknown. We can ponder what type of ship was
used by the Phoenician seamen when the Pharaoh Necho of Egypt, sent
these hardy explorers to circumnavigate Africa circa 700 bc, we also
wonder if these vessels reached the shores of Indonesia and perhaps
even Australia while following the spice trail. Evidence is slowly
building up in support of the idea that the equatorial nations
achieved a trading system long before we had imagined.</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="color: #00000a;">From the 12</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span></b><span style="color: #00000a;"><b>
century onward, only one or two masts were still being used in coastal sailing
vessels but by th</b>e<b> 15</b></span><b><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
century, three and four masts became the fashion, as larger ships
were required to protect the trade routes.</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #00000a;">The battles for Supremacy.</span></b></span><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">As ships ventured further from their own
shores, they needed protection from prize takers and piracy. Warships
were sent to establish trade and to protect the trading vessels,
allowing trading ships to become larger and faster.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The warships also evolved quickly and were
soon equipped with archers, javelin throwers and fighting men who
fought from all parts of a ship; some were stationed at the top of
each mast in a box known as the ‘Fighting Top’. It was from here
that they threw heavy objects down into enemy vessels once they had
pulled alongside. Grapples were used to hold a vessel in place while
the fighting went on. Heavy stones and lumps of metal, then iron
balls or blocks were hurled down into the bottom of the enemy boats
by the marines in an effort to sink or badly damage the boat or its
occupants. Defensive works were built, as the ships grew larger and
the first item used in defence was the decking, this was used to
protect the bottom of the boat. Protection for the men who did the
fighting quickly followed and all types of breastwork were built onto
the vessels. Miniature castles were erected at each end of a ship
where archers and javelin throwers were stationed; this caused the
builders to enlarge the hull design to make more room for the
defenses.</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #00000a;">James IV of Scotland.</span></b></span><br />
<b><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">In 1511, James the 4</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
of Scotland launched the ‘Great Michael’ which was a wood ship of
approximately 1200 Tons. Her length was 200 ft and she was 36 ft in
breadth. Her sides were protected with 5-ft thick timbers along her
waterline in the form of a belt. She carried 300 seamen, 120 gunners
and 1000 men at arms.</span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">When James the fourth was killed in 1513,
the ‘Great Michael’ was sold to the French. The building of this
mighty ship is said to have taken all the timber left in Fifeshire.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a; font-size: large;">Henry VIII of England.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">Henry the 8</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
of England built his ship, ‘Grace a Dieu’ in 1514; she was a wood
ship of 1000 Tons. The figurehead seems to have been of the Mother
and Child. [This is based on a very hazy view of the ship's beak
shown in her portrait]. She was nicknamed ‘Great Harry’ after
King Henry and was the first British built four-mast ship to be
launched in England. Her masts were named, Fore, Main, Mizzen and
Bonaventure. Her fore and main masts were square rigged and her
mizzen and bonaventure were rigged with lateen sails. She had
topsails on all four masts with topgallant sails on the first three
masts. She went for a refit in 1540 and at that time, she had her
guns set in two tiers, which fired through ports cut into her side.
She thereby became the forerunner of the battle frigates, which were
to rule the seas until the late 19</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
century. [The ship, ‘Mary Rose’ may have been the first ship to
have been given gunports but she did not stay afloat long enough to
prove their worth] The ‘Grace a Dieu’ is shown in her portrait at
some time between 1540 and 1553 before she was totally destroyed by
fire at Woolwich .She had been a favorite ship of the King, as he
used her to travel abroad on official business.</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a; font-size: large;"><b>Defense and Attack</b>.</span><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Another invention which proved to be of
benefit to seamen, the detachable top mast, Captain John Hawkins had
the topmasts of his ship set into a cap which was supported by
trestle trees which were set fore and aft of the mast to support the
cross trees. This in turn supported the spread of the sails in the
upper mast areas. </span></b>
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The‘Fighting Top’ was a square or
rounded box in which men could stand and that was situated at the top
of the main section of each mast. This was the area from which men
could throw, fire or ‘put’ missiles onto or into enemy craft.</span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">On a more personal level, the Poop deck got
its name from the toilet facilities, which were built out from and
around the stern usually below the level of the captain’s cabin.
Seats with holes were set out from the hull and these too, evolved to
offer more privacy as time went by.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a; font-size: large;">Sails and gunnery;</span></b><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">At first, single sails
were used on vessels up to and including the time of the Viking
longships. Eventually, the need for faster ships gave rise to more
sails on more masts. A second, third and then, a fourth mast were
added to the ships of the 16</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
century. The early masts carried a single sail followed by topsail;
royals and etc followed these in turn. </span></span>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a; font-size: large;">The Spritsail.</span></b><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">By the 17</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
century, the spritsail had been introduced to the area beneath the
bowsprit and this enabled the Mizzenmast to be set further aft, then
a small mast was added to the front end of the bowsprit and a topsail
spritsail was rigged in place. Through trial and error, three masts
came to be preferred and it remained so, with few exceptions until
the 19</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
century.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">During the 16</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
century, new and more powerful ships were built by British ship
builders for the East India trade, most were well armed and although
really merchantmen, would have been quite a handful for some of the
secondary ships of the European naval countries. They were at times,
called upon to help the British navy when pirate or other ships
intruded into English waters or were harassing coastal towns or
vessels. </span></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">These events regularly occurred in English
waters and the frigate built ships came to resemble naval ships of
the line. Soon, the armament lessened considerably as fewer ships
challenged them. The outcome was a passenger ship that was painted
and arranged to look like a man-o-war but really carried only one or
two guns for protection and even these were phased out in a few short
years.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Naval armament. The British navy had the honour of being
the first to have Muzzle loading cannon aboard their ships. King
Henry VII of England was the first Monarch to create a naval fleet
and he armed them as well as could be done for the time. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">Gunports were at first
initiated in the waist section of the vessels but soon they were set
along the full broadside [Henry VIII] giving rise to the true
multigun warship. The Stern was then rounded so that even the
quarters could be protected with cannon. As more armament was added
to each vessel, so too, were each ship's defense increased in
strength. Some naval battles had ships fighting for many hours,
cannonball after cannonball slowly chipping away at the thick
protective timbers while new forms of shot were fired at the rigging
in the hope of the opponent being desailed or even dismasted.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">The early type vessel
went from an armament of five short barreled cannon, which operated
only at very close range, with an iron cannonball… that weighed
about 50 pounds. They also carried the smaller demicannon, which
fired a 32-pound ball. Finally there was the ‘Culverin’ which had
a long barrel and fired a smaller shot over a longer range though not
anywhere like later armaments. The even smaller ‘Demiculverin’,
the ‘Saker’, supported them in turn [which was a quarter
culverin]. The Falcon gun [which was a half saker], Falconett and
Robinett with each bird name, descending with the shot size until
shot weighed as little as two or three ounces. These, were the ship
destroyers and coastal protectors of the early 16</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
century Although the number of guns on each of the fighting ships
could be as many as 180, most of these were only small weapons and
did not operate from gun ports. By the 17</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
century, ships and their weapons had become more sophisticated. The
sum total of 16</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
century knowledge came with the launching of the ‘Prince Royal’,
which was built in 1610.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Then, during the 1630’s the first ever 100
gun Battle Frigate, ‘Sovereign Of the Seas’ arrived on the scene.
Both the ‘Prince Royal’ and the ‘Sovereign of the Seas’, had
broadside guns on each side of them and on all three decks. The
‘Sovereign of the Seas’ was considered ‘the most formidable
fighting ship of her time’. In fact she was one of the largest
vessels ever seen and it was said that six men could stand upright in
her stern lantern. She weighed in at 1500 Tons and did away with the
Bonaventure mizzen, which from that time was to disappear and she now
carried the standard three masts. The three masts remained until the
demise of sail in warships and acted as the standard rig for British
warships</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Gun decks too, were changing and the calibre
of cannon with them, by the end of the century the larger men-o-war
were carrying 32 pounder cannon on their upper decks and 42 pounders
on the lowest deck. This was by no means the standard for all three
deckers of the time, though it became more popular as time went by.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"> </span>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a; font-size: large;">Rating a naval ship.</span></b><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">When James the first
came to the English throne, he arranged his ships into four different
ratings and by the middle of the 17</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
century, six ratings were the accepted idea. The number of guns were
the determining factor with a 100 gun ship being a 1</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>st</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
rater and an 18 gun ship being classified a 6</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
rater. This, applied only to naval vessels, [ratings for frigates,
passenger and cargo ships were rated under a different system].
Improvements came with guns being standardized on each deck, rather
than having mixed gun sizes as with the ‘Sovereign of the Seas’.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="color: #00000a;">In the 18</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
century, ships became known by the number of guns they were rated to
carry, the great ship, HMS‘Victory’ was rated a 108 gun ship. The
great naval battles that took place between the English and the major
sea powers of Europe helped to maintain the widely improving naval
systems and with the advent of true steam power, naval shipping
continued on to the modern fighting ships of the 20</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
century.</span> The ships shown below, are more an extract
from a very long line of naval vessels than a precise list. I have
also included some of the heroic deeds [which no historian can
disregard] that these noble ships performed. </span>

<span style="color: #00000a; font-size: large;"><b>TOPICAL TIPS.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Why Port and Starboard?</span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">For the researcher who may need to know
which end of a ship is which, the front of a vessel is known as the
bow or for’ard end and the rear is known as the stern or aft
[after] end.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The Port [or lee] side of a vessel got its
name from exactly that, the Port or left hand side of the ship [which
was the opposite to the steering side or starboard side]. Port side
was also known as the Larboard [or loading] side. The starboard side got its name not from
the stars but from the large manned ‘Steering board’ or rudder
that was to the right hand or seaward side of a ship. The first stern
rudder appears to have been British built about 1200 AD and was
manned to suit the size of each ship.</span><br />

</span>
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;">HMS ‘REVENGE’</span> Built c1577. Wood ship of
500 Tons. Length; approx. 165 ft. Breadth; 32 ft. Depth; approx. 21
ft. She was the flagship of Admiral Drake when his fleet defeated the
massive Spanish Armada. She was designed and built by Phineas Pett
and Matthew Baker and carried 34 guns and 22 demi-cannon,
cannon-perriers, culverins and demi-culverins and twelve sakers. She
also had small arms made up of Arquebuses and Hackbuts along with
many archers with longbows and arrows. Her cannon fired 32 pound shot
down to 9 pound shot. She carried 150 seamen and 24 gunners along
with 76 soldiers. This vessel is perhaps the same vessel as the
‘Revenge’ of 1591 as it was only three years after the Armada had
been harassed almost out of existence and Drakes flagship [‘Revenge’]
was certainly not injured by the Spanish fleet. The fact that Sir
Richard Grenville had command of the vessel in 1591, does not in any
way, diminish the likelihood of her being the same vessel.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;">HMS ‘REVENGE’</span>
Built 1577. Wood ship of 500 Tons. Length of keel: 92 ft. Breadth: 32
ft Depth: approximately 27 ft. [probably the same vessel that was
Drakes Flagship during the Spanish Armada of 1588]. She was part of a
fifteen vessel fleet in the year 1591, that while under the command
of Admiral Lord Thomas Howard and Vice-Admiral, Sir Richard
Grenville, was sent to intercept a treasure fleet returning from
South America.</span> The English had been suffering for sickness
was rife among the crews. Many men were down with fever and dysentery
and most of the ships had discharged their crews, onto a nearby
island to let the men regain their health. It was at this moment that
the Spanish fleet was sighted and there was a rush to get the men
back aboard their ships. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">The British were
extremely surprised to find that a force of about 54 Spanish ships
had been sent to escort the treasure fleet. On the evening of
September 9</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">,
1591, the two fleets came together at Flores Island in the Azores
group. The ships involved on the British side were, HMS ‘Defiance’
[Lord Howard] which was Admiral. HMS ‘Revenge’ [Sir Richard
Grenville] Vice-Admiral, then the frigate HMS ‘Bonaventure’
[Captain Crosse] HMS ‘Lion’ [Captain George Fenner] HMS
‘Forsight’ [Captain M. Thomas Vavisour] HMS ‘Crane’ [Captain
Duffield] and HMS ‘Raleigh’ a wood bark commanded by Captain
Thin. The rest of the English fleet was made up of vessels too small
to be of consequence.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The English ships had been taking on ballast
when the Spaniards were first seen and it was with difficulty that
most of the fleet got underway. The Spanish had two squadrons of
ships and this made them a formidable opponent, even if the English
had been underway with room to move.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"> It was soon realised though, that the
English were at a great disadvantage, as they had ‘scarce time to
weigh their anchors’. So close were the fleets that the escaping
English ships sailed across the bows of the oncoming Spaniards. The
‘Revenge’ was found to be in so great a predicament that the
officers entreated Sir Richard Grenville to cut his mainsail and cast
about, hoping that this would placate a far superior foe. Of course,
it was beneath the honour of Sir Richard Grenville to shirk a fight
and he ordered his men to arms.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Grenville decided that the best way to fight
the Spanish was to drive straight through the centre of the two
Squadrons. He had two main reasons for this course of action, the
first being that all enemy fire would be directed at the ‘Revenge’
giving the rest of the fleet time to escape. The second being due to
the time it had taken to bring those of his men who were ashore, back
to the ship. It could be seen that the ‘Revenge’ would have no
hope of escape and that she would survive only if she struck her
colours. Sir Richard Grenville took the foremost course in an English
naval commander’s mind and decided on attack.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The first Spanish vessel to make contact
with ‘Revenge’ was the ‘San Philip’ of the Seville squadron.
This 1500-Ton ship took the air out of the sails of ‘Revenge’ and
she could make no way nor even feel the helm. The ‘San Philip’
was a three decked ship, which carried 11 guns of different ordinance
on each deck. She went in to board the ‘Revenge’ at the same time
as the ‘Admiral of the Biscaynes’, commanded by Admiral Brittan
Dona. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Three more Spanish ships then got alongside
the ‘Revenge’ and the fighting intensified. The ‘San Philip’
took a broadside from ‘Revenge’ that shook the Spaniard. Then
after she brought down the sails on the ‘Revenge’, the ‘San
Philip’ made haste to get off the side of the English vessel. She
had received heavy punishment and did not wish to risk more. The
Spaniards then decided to continue the attack from all quarters
giving ‘Revenge’ no respite.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The Spaniards had many soldiers aboard their
ships. After spending much time trying to board the ‘Revenge’
unsuccessfully, they elected to use sniper fire to do as much damage
as possible. Sir Richard was wounded while on deck and then was again
wounded while his surgeon was attending to him and finally, he was
shot in the head with what proved to be a mortal wound. The surgeon
was also killed by gunfire at about 11 p.m. The battle raged on all
around them and the ‘Revenge’ repulsed one Spanish Galleon after
another. When one retired from her side, another took its place. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The battle had begun at three in the
afternoon and slowly the ‘Revenge’ was being shot to pieces. Of
her 100 fit men and 90 sick that were aboard when the fighting began,
forty men of the ‘Revenge’ were dead and little remained of that
ships superstructure. Her masts were gone and her sides were shot
full of holes. An English brig, the ‘Pilgrim’ under Captain Jacob
Whiddon, sat off nearby and watched the fighting until she also came
under threat as the new day dawned. Captain Whiddon could scarce
believe the extraordinary battle that was taking place but now it was
time to run. The little English Brig was fast and she happily escaped
the Spaniards, being able to report the events of the battle up until
she had to leave.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"> </span>
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">It was estimated that ‘Revenge’ had
received over 800 shot into her tough wooden hull, this did not
include small arms fire and by the morning, she had run out of
powder. Her supplies were all gone by this time and. Sir Richard
Grenville had ordered his Master at arms to fire a shot through the
bottom of ‘Revenge’ and sink her when she was done so that the
Spaniards might not have any part of her as souvenir. </span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"> </span>
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">She had endured 15 hours of continuous light
and heavy bombardment and was still not put down while her gallant
commander lay dreadfully wounded but still lucid enough to give some
orders. Finally, a flag was struck to enable a truce to be
negotiated. A few of the officers were sent aboard the Spanish ship,
‘Generale Don Alphonso Bassan’ to negotiate at the behest of the
officers of the ‘Revenge’, who deemed that Sir Richard was too
badly done to keep the fight going. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The Spaniards accepted the terms and the
fighting ceased. They could only marvel at the carnage aboard the
‘Revenge’ and they could not believe that one ship could so
gallantly attack so many of her enemy, especially all on her own and
with such arrogance. The fight had caused the loss of over 2000
Spanish seamen and soldiers. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">Two large Spanish
warships, the ‘Admiral Of The Hulks’ and the ‘Ascension’ of
Seville were both sunk alongside the ‘Revenge’. One other ship
went down as it made it to the road of St Michael and another ran
herself ashore so as not to sink, thereby saving her sailors. Sir
Richard Grenville, who was born on June 15</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
1542, died of his wounds a few days after the surrender. He was
presumably buried at sea, on or about September 13</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
1591. His ship and crew had enabled the English fleet, time to escape
from a large and well-armed enemy. Theirs was a sacrifice that
surprised even the most hardened fighters in the Spanish Navy.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘<span style="font-size: large;">PRINCE ROYAL’</span> Built 1610. Wood ship of
approx. 1400 Tons. Length: approx. 230 ft. Breadth: 44 ft. Depth:
approx. 22 ft. She was the largest ship of her time and was the
first English three decked ship to be part of the Royal Navy. She
carried 56 guns and was beautifully decorated and carried the Royal
Plumes of the Prince of Wales, she was designed by Phineas Pett who
also designed the ship ‘Sovereign of the Seas’ which was launched
almost 30 years later. ‘Prince Royal’ is also said by some, to
have been a two decked ship, but a painting by the Dutch marine
artist, Henrik Cornelius Vroom shows her to be a three-deck ship with
four masts. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>HMS ‘SOVEREIGN OF
THE SEAS’</b></span> also known as ‘Royal Sovereign’. Built 1637 for King
Charles I. She was a wood ship of 1500 Tons. Length: approx. 232 ft.
Breadth: 46.5 ft. Draught: 22.2 ft. She was used in the battles
against the Dutch during the time in which that nation proclaimed
itself ruler of the seas. This though, was during a period when
England had its own civil wars, thus leaving the seas more or less
open to any claimant. Phineas Pett and his son Peter designed this
vessel for King Charles the 1</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>st</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">.
Her keel was laid down in the presence of the king on the 16</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
of January 1636 at Woolwich. Gerard Christmas the master-carver
ornamented her, from drawings done by Van Dyck and her figurehead,
was of Edward the Peaceful astride a horse trampling seven conquered
kings.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;">‘SAMSON’</span>. Built c 1585. Wood ship owned
by George Clifford, the third Earl of Cumberland. He was ordered by
his Queen, ‘not to lay any Spanish vessel aboard her Royal ships
lest they be consumed by fire. The Earl was annoyed at this and
proceeded to hire ships for use against the rich Spanish galleons. He
hired the ‘Tiger’ of 600 Tons and along with the ‘Golden Noble’
and a few smaller vessels, he set out to plunder a few of the ships
coming from the East Indies. His first conquest was the Portuguese
ship ’Santa Cruz’ and hearing from her captured crew that more of
these rich East Indiamen were coming. Clifford was met by one of Sir
Walter Raleigh’s ships, HMS ‘Roebuck’, which aided in the
capture of the ‘Santa Cruz’. They conveyed the good news that
more of Raleigh’s ships were arriving on the scene and that one of
the Queens ships, ‘HMS ‘Forsight’ under Sir Robert Cross had
also arrived.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Five days later, the ‘Madre de Dios came
up and a battle began with one of Sir John Hawkins ships under
Captain Thompson making the big royal Portuguese ship slow down until
the other ships could get into position. The Queens ship with an over
zealous Sir Robert Cross charged into the fray only to lose way by
getting too near the Portuguese and the ‘Forsight’ was quickly
lashed to the ‘Madre de Dios’ by her shrouds and the larger
vessel sailed off with her alongside. It took a few hours before the
English could come up to the two trussed ships and while one boarded
the Portuguese on one side the ‘Tiger’ boarded through the
‘Foresight’ in the ensuing fight, the ‘Forsight’ managed to
free herself.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The 'Madre de Dios’ was captured and it
was one of the largest ships that the English had ever seen. Her
Captain, Don Fernando de Mendoza was perhaps one very unlucky
gentleman, he had been twice before captured by the Moors and held to
ransom by their king. His ship was a rich prize and was of an unusual
dimension, so much so that a Mr. Robert Murray who was a ‘Geometrical
Observer’ was given the task of getting the exact size of the big
ship.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"> </span>
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The ‘Madre de Dios’ turned out to be 165
ft long, her breadth was 46 ft 10 inches and she drew 31 ft of water
when laden and she carried a height of seven stories. One main orlop,
three close decks, one Forecastle, a spar deck of two floors apiece.
Her keel was 100 ft and her mainmast was 121ft. Her mainyard was 106
ft long and was so large that the English felt that she would be too
unwieldy to work so they took her to Dartmouth for use as a Hulk. The
events took place in 1592.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;">HMS ‘TRIUMPH’</span> Wood ship of app 900 Tons.
Admiral Blake commanded her when the Dutch fleet was challenged near
the Shetland Islands in 1652. The weather turned foul and the English
watched as the Dutch fleet was decimated by gale force winds. Admiral
Blake and the Dutch Admiral Van Tromp, were to have running battles
up and down channel for some time until Blake finally got he upper
hand with victories over the Dutch during the period 1652 through
1655. The great ship ‘Sovereign Of The Seas’, which was built by
King Charles I of England, also fought during the action.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;">HMS ‘RESOLUTION’ </span>Wood Ship that was laid
down at Harwich. Sir George Ascue who was a member of Admiral Robert
Blake’s fleet commanded her. They fought the Dutch over numerous
petty items. Although the most likely reason for fighting the Dutch
was that they, [the Dutch] felt that they were the true sea power and
they had the Admirals to prove it, should England like a fight.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;">‘BONHOMME RICHARD’</span>
Wood ship that was commanded by the American war of independence
hero, Captain John Paul Jones. In an insignificant battle between two
American and two English warships, the Americans pulled off a victory
when Captain Jones left his sinking vessel and transferred to the
British ship ‘Serapis’ which he was able to cause to surrender
even though his own vessel was sinking. The losses were heavy, with
the American flagship losing over 300 men killed and wounded with
British losses thought to be similar. The American boarding parties
won the fight. Although the Americans give this battle as one of the
great naval battles of history, in reality, it was decided by, as
usual, greater fire power which the Americans on this occasion
possessed.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The ‘Bon Homme Richard’ was accompanied
by the American Frigate ‘Alliance’ and three smaller French ships
when they came into contact with a British merchant fleet led by the
‘Serapis’ and the ‘Countess of Scarborough’ both of which
were smaller than the two 44 gun vessels commanded by the Americans.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">Captain John Paul
Jones [originally Captain John Paul] was a Scottish sea captain [born
July 6</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
1747 at Kirkbean, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland.] who had fallen foul
of British justice when he murdered one of his crew in cold blood
during an attempted mutiny. He changed his name to avoid detection
and when the Americans opted for independence, he became a captain in
the new American navy. </span></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Although he fought for his adopted country,
he did not remain there long as he seemed to prefer Europe as his
home after 1787. He accepted a role, as Rear Admiral in the Russian
Navy in 1788 and this period of his life was not one of his best. He
returned to Paris in 1790 and died there in 1792. The Americans
shipped his remains back to Annapolis, Md. over a century later and
created a national shine for their hero. This vessel is included here
due to its historic importance and in regard to its effect upon the
British transportation policies. The American war of Independence
gave rise to a much faster settlement of the great South land and its
island neighbors. England could not afford to lose its supremacy on
the high seas.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;">HMS ‘VICTORY’
</span>Built 1765 at Chatham. Wood three-deck 108-gun ship of 2162 Tons.
Length: 186 ft. Breadth: 44 ft Depth: approx. 29 ft. This ship was
laid down in 1759, on the 23</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>rd</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
of July. She was given her name on the 28</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
of October 1760. She became the flagship of Admiral Lord Horatio
Nelson during the battle of Trafalgar. Her launch was on the 7</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
of July 1765. In his victory at the well documented battle, Admiral
Nelson received a mortal wound when he was shot by musket fire from
the rigging of the French ship ‘Redoubtable’ which vessel Captain
Hardy had selected from among the French fleet as the target of the
‘Victory’. Sea battles of this type sometimes lasted for hours as
the vessels sat along side each other [on board] and proceeded to
blast the timbers off their opponent. In their fight, four vessels
actually sat aboard one another, ‘Victory’, ‘Redoubtable’,
‘Temeraire’ and an un-named French vessel that sat ‘on board’
the ‘Temeraire’.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">The ‘Redoubtable’
only fired one salvo from her heavy or ‘great’ guns before
closing the ports for fear of being boarded through them. Then the
‘Victory’ ran ‘on board’ the French ship and commenced her
firing. The French ship ‘Bucentaure’ and the big Spanish ship,
‘Santissima Trinidad’ began their attack on the ‘Victory’
from the other side and the English flagship began to fire
incessantly from both sides as she drummed shot into all three
vessels. </span></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The English ship ‘Temeraire’ [Captain
Harvey] fell on board the ‘Redoubtable’ from the other side and
in quick time, another French vessel had fallen on board the
‘Temeraire’ so that all four ships lay side by side and all
facing the same way as they poured shot into one another. The gunnery
master on the ‘Victory’ had to depress the charges in his guns on
the middle and lower decks to avoid the possibility of shot hitting
the ‘Temeraire’.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"> </span>
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">And so the battle raged, the Admiral’s
secretary was having converse with Captain Hardy, when a cannonball,
killed him [the secretary] instantly. He was one of the first to fall
in the battle and shortly afterward, a party of marines who were
gathered on the poop deck, were struck by a double-headed [chained]
shot which cut down and killed eight of them in an instant. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">To gain insight to what type of commander
Admiral Nelson was, can be shown in his effort to have all his men
act as one. He made them feel proud to be Englishmen fighting for
their country. When having Baron Cuthbert Collingwood aboard the day
before the battle at Trafalgar, Nelson was surprised to see that the
captain of his second in command's ship was not with Collingwood.
When he heard that Collingwood and Captain Rotherham were not on good
terms, Nelson sent for the captain immediately and when he arrived he
met Rotherham and took him to where Baron Collinwood was looking out
over the French fleet. ‘Look, yonder at the enemy’ then he bade
them, ‘now shake hands with an Englishman’.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Admiral Nelson did not like to put snipers
in the rigging and neglected to do so at Trafalgar feeling that even
though it might get a commander or two, it would not decide the
battle. It did cost him his life though. Had he also placed snipers
they would have been able to keep the enemy pinned down and Nelson
would not have been shot from above. The bullet that struck him hit
his shoulder epaulet and drove down into his back breaking his spine
and dropping him onto his face. Even though this injury should have
been enough, he still gave orders for some minutes being held up by
three of his men.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">Nelson was shot at
approximately 1.20pm on the 31</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>st</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
of October 1805. A young man, [Midshipman Pollard] who had seen the
Frenchman who fired the fatal shot went after the sniper and managed
to bring him down at 1.30pm. For this service, he was rewarded with a
silver watch given by Lady Emma Hamilton and Captain Thomas Masterman
Hardy. The watch is presently held [among other relics of the battle]
by the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, England. </span></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">The ‘Victory’ was
taken back to England and repaired after the battle was won. Many
years after the epic battle, a cannon ball was taken out of her
timbers. The ball having been found buried deep from the force of the
shot. She was brought out on special occasions to be paraded as one
would expect her to be, dressed in her finest war paint which
included a black hull with yellow strakes [strips along the side
where her gun ports were situated]. </span></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Her stern was painted mauve or violet
according to the old artists who portrayed her after the battle. In
the early days of naval warfare, it was considered the done thing to
have your vessel as gaily painted as possible. The French and the
Spanish were masters at doing just that. Soon, shipbuilding came to a
peak, with more powerful cannon and stronger hulls that could stand
the terrible battering from cannonballs for hours on end. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The ‘Victory’ has shown just how
strongly built these vessels were and even 50 years after the great
battle she was still capable of sailing. She is now part of English
history forever and will remain in dock for as long as she can be
kept into the future. For as the glory of the British Empire fades
and each colonies rises to even greater futures, the ‘Victory’
will commemorate the strength of a nation that has become a mother
and grandmother of nations.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;">USS ‘CONSTITUTION’</span> Built 1797. Wood ship
of the United States Navy. Rated as a 44 gun Frigate, she displaced
2200 Tons. Length: 204 ft. Breadth: approx. 42ft. Depth: approx. 31
ft. She was nicknamed ‘Old Ironsides’ because of the thickness of
her hull. This ship was perhaps the best known of all the vessels of
the American colonies.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;">‘SHENANDOAH’</span> ex ‘Sea King’. Built
c1860. British ship that was captured by the Confederate States of
America during the civil war. She had her named changed to
‘Shenandoah’ and went on to cause much distress to Union
shipping. She was sold to North African interests [To the Sultan of
Zanzibar, for use as his royal yacht] and she disappears from that
time onward.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;">HMS ‘WARRIOR</span>’ Built 1860. Iron ship of
9500 Tons. Length: 420 ft [overall] 380 ft 2 inches [between
perpendiculars] .She was the first iron hulled naval ship ever built
and although she never had to go into battle, she was used very well
as a deterrent. She had two telescopic funnels and for two thirds of
her length, wrought iron plates protected her 4½ inches thick and
these were bolted onto her 18-inch thick teak backing. She had a
gunnery officer named Jacky Fisher whose wry comment on the new
vessel was ‘it is not appreciated that this, the first armour clad
ship of war, would cause a change in what has been the way for over a
thousand years’. This ship ended her days as an oil pontoon in
South Wales until rescued and made a museum ship. </span>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">HMS ‘BOUNTY’</span></b> Wood
ship of 220 Tons. Length: 94 ft. Breadth: app 18 ft. Depth: app 14
ft. She carried a crew of 44 men and a botanist under the command of
Captain Bligh. She left England on the 23</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>rd</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
of December 1787 from Spithead, Hampshire, bound for Tahiti. The
voyage was not meant to be a hurried one, she had been sent to
transport Breadfruit plants to the West Indies as a source of food
supply. </span></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">On the 28</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
of April 1789, the crew under the master's mate, Fletcher Christian,
decided to mutiny. It is thought that after many months enjoying the
savories of Tahiti that the men did not wish to leave their women
behind and so the mutiny took place. Captain Bligh had certainly
allowed the men plenty of good time at Tahiti and every English
sailor knew where his duty lay but mutiny the men did. </span></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Bligh was put into a longboat with those who
wished to remain with him. The mutineers took the ‘Bounty’ back
to Tahiti, secured their women and a few helpers and left for the
most distant and safest hideout they could find. This turned out to
be Pitcairn Island in the Far Eastern Pacific Ocean. The ‘Bounty’
was unloaded and burned and the group of mutineers settled down to an
idyllic lifestyle.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>HMS ‘TERRIBLE’ </b></span>Built c1845. Wood paddle

guns than HMS ‘Victory’, the flagship of the Admiral after whom
the ‘Nelson’ was named. The ‘Nelson’ was transferred to the
Victorian Navy about 1868 and was known as the HMVNS ‘Nelson’ She
was then cut down from a three deck ship to a two-decker and she also

<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>HMS ‘BASILISK’</b></span> Wood Frigate of the
English navy that was used as a coastal protector and as a deterrent
to the Blackbirder trades. It was this naval vessel that found the
drifting 25 Ton schooner ‘Peri’ that had been recruiting natives
at Malaita in the Solomons when an uprising by the natives ended the
lives of all the white crew while the vessel was at sea. This left
the natives with one big problem; no one knew how to navigate the
little vessel.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">Although it was
‘Taboo’ to eat humans in many of the Solomon islands, the natives
aboard the ‘Peri’ were forced through hunger to do just that,
they began by killing the women and devouring them one by one until
all of them were gone. They then proceeded to kill young and the
weaker men while they drifted around the Pacific. After two months,
they arrived off the coast of Queensland near Townsville at which
point, HMS ‘Basilisk’ found them. Only thirteen of the original
eighty persons, who were aboard when they left Malaita, were still

named William Easterbrook at Tanna Island in 1877. Two other warships
arrived, the HMS ‘Beagle’ and HMS ‘Renard’, they called on
the Tannese to surrender the murderer which they accepted would
happen on the following day. The killer was a man named Yumanga and
he did not wish to be hanged for killing the white man so he decided
to resist. The British sailors were sent to arrest him and after some
running battles in which eight Tannese were killed; they were only
able to return with the murderer's brother. As this man had also been
on the scene when the murder took place, he was duly tried and hanged
from the yard arm and as everyone was now satisfied, the little
gunboats left the area. A footnote to this story is that Yumanga was
soon after, recruited to Queensland and never did get tried for
killing the trader. </span>

the Florida group where the 50 Ton Schooner HMS ‘Sandfly’ had
lost her Lieutenant and three of her sailors to Head hunters.
Lieutenant Bowers and four of his men had gone ashore to bathe and
were enjoying themselves when they were surprised by a war party.
Three of the bathers were killed in the first attack and both Bowers
and a seaman escaped separately into the Jungle. The Lieutenant hid
in the hollow trunk of a tree but was found dragged out and had his
head taken. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Captain Bruce aimed to get the matter
resolved quickly and sent out a proclamation: ‘In consequence of an
English officer and boat crew being murdered by Florida men. The
Queen of England declares war on all the tribes of the Florida’s,
unless the actual murderers are given up within fourteen days’. The
missionaries convinced the tribes to hand over four of the five
guilty killers. Only the son of the chief, who had been out to get
his first head to make his father proud, was not given up. The others
were hung and the matter was considered resolved.</span><br />

‘Meurthe’. The operation was a failure and the natives taunted
the seamen who were unable to catch them.</span><br />

Wood vessel of app 200 Tons that was used in survey and exploration
of the northern waters of Australia and New Guinea. Captain Owen
Stanley who was at sea for over 20 years commanded her. He took ill
on his last voyage in her in 1849 when her men brought Barbara
Crawford Thompson aboard at Cape York. She had been trapped on Prince
of Wales Island for almost five years.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">Owen Stanley suffered
a stroke at the beginning of the return journey to Sydney and this
was sufficient to lay him low until ‘Rattlesnake’ was almost into
Sydney Harbour. Captain Owen Stanley raised himself from his sick bed
and managed to bring his ship through the heads. Stanley died at 8am
on Wednesday the 13</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">

the Australian Squadron 1873-76. Commodore John Wilson commanded her.
She was sent to investigate the murder of John Renton and some of his
crew from the ‘Mystery’. The capture of the killer brought
reprisals from the local natives on Oba Island and many whites were
killed before the feud was settled. </span>

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>HMS ‘ALECTO’ </b></span>Wood paddle steamer that
was used in an experiment to decide the better between paddlewheel
and screw operated steamers. The HMS ‘Rattler was fitted with screw
propulsion and the two vessels were pitted against one another in an
even duel over three races. The screw propulsion won the day easily
but supporters of the paddlewheeler stated that the screw driven
vessel would not be able to tow as well as the paddlewheeler. This
prompted a new situation in which the two vessels were harnessed
together and pulled away in opposite directions. No one vessel seemed
to be winning until eventually the screw steamer again won the day by
towing the paddlewheeler backward over a marked distance. [British

could not have his unlimited expenses to fund his high life and
carousing. This was something that he must have felt befitted his
rank. For a while, things were tense as he positioned the ‘Gayundah’
near Parliament house. After some hasty negotiations, the captain [in
a frustrated mood] sailed ‘Gayundah’ to Sydney where he was
promptly decommissioned and his ship returned to its primary duties

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"> <span style="font-size: large;">AUSTRALIA
AND NEW ZEALAND</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a; font-size: large;">Charting the Nations.</span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">It is well known that European sailors had
already visited Australia and New Zealand long before Captain James
Cook arrived on the scene. Many maps had already been drawn showing
the existence of a great southern continent. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">When Captain Cook and other European ships
made inroads toward finding the great continent, they did so, using
maps that already gave them a very good idea of the size and scope of
Australia. In fact the early mapmakers believed fervently, that the
great southern continent rivaled Europe in size.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Cartographers had already mapped the
Northern Hemisphere by the time Marco Polo began his voyages to
Cathay via the Straits of Malachi. His descriptions of the southern
islands seem to be more relevant to Indonesia than to anything
further south for he talks of elephants and of people speaking a
Persian language.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #00000a;">His description seemed
to be based more on hearsay than on fact, as he did not venture
southward from the China Seas. When Magellan visited the Pacific
Ocean in 1520, he invariably opened the way for voyages of discovery
by many of the seafaring nations of Europe; all were seeking
financial reward and strategic prominence in the Southern Hemisphere.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Captain Alvaro de Mendana de Niera [Captain
Mendana] of Spain discovered the Solomon islands in 1568 and then the
Santa Cruz group almost thirty years later in 1595. His pilot for
that voyage was a young man named Pedro Fernandez de Quiros and he
discovered the New Hebrides in 1606. He thought that he had found the
great southern continent that was much talked about at the time and
he named that part of the New Hebrides, Austrialia del Espiritu Santo
after his Austrian king who ruled Spain. This he believed, was the
outer section of the Southland, in fact, part of the name stuck and
Australia had its identity. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Quiros had Torres as his pilot for that
voyage and a few months later, Torres himself discovered the straits
above Australia. If the Spanish king had kept his seamen at work in
the south, Australia surely would have been Spanish owned.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The Dutch too, were almost owners of the
vast expanse of land that lay quietly waiting. They mapped the West
Coast, part of the south coast and even some of western side of Cape
York in the northeast. They discovered Tasmania and even touched on
Staten Land, which eventually became New Zealand. For some reason,
the Dutch did not want the southern continent and it was left to the
British to secure and chart the last unknown part of the Australian
coast, the east. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Only the French were to give England any
competition in the race for the great Southland. The French captain
Bougainville, arrived at the Great Barrier Reef in 1768 but did not
try to get past it to the mainland which he probably saw and
recognized as a continent.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The English Admiralty gave Captain James
Cook a mission in 1768, he was told to arrange a voyage to the South
Pacific to observe the transit of the planet Venus. They also gave
him instructions to discover and chart the eastern side of the
southern continent. Cook took with him, the Astronomer Green,
Naturalist Solander and the Botanist Joseph Banks along with a ships
complement of over ninety men.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">From that point onward, the British held
sway in the South Pacific and Cook, Matthew Flinders, George Bass and
others made great discoveries. The settlement of the southern lands
now became the only problem the British had to face and in only
twenty years, the first settlement would be laid out at Sydney Cove. </span>

<span style="color: #00000a;"> <span style="font-size: large;">LETTERS WRITTEN HOME BY THE OFFICERS.</span><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><b>When the First Fleet arrived in Port
Jackson, many of the Officers began recording their day by day trials
in letter and diary form. Some of these officers even sketched the
new settlement with the first buildings in position.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Captain Watkin Tench [Marines] wrote; “Our
passage to Port Jackson from Botany Bay took but a few hours, which
were spent far from unpleasantly. The evening was bright and the
prospect before us such as might justify sanguine expectation. Having
passed between the capes, which form its entrance, we found ourselves
in a port superior, in extent and excellency, to all we had seen
before. We continued to run up the harbour about four miles, in a
westerly direction, enjoying the luxuriant prospect of its shores,
covered with trees to the waters edge, among which many of the
Indians were frequently seen. Till we arrived at a small snug cove on
the southern side, on whose banks the plan of our operations was
destined to commence.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The armed tender, ‘Supply’ had arrived
the previous day and its crew were set to work clearing the ground
for the erection of the tents that were to serve as temporary homes
for the officers until more elaborate accommodation could be put in
place.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Surgeon John White wrote: ‘A number of
convicts from the different transports were landed to assist in
clearing the ground for the encampment. His Excellency marked the
outlines, as much as possible to prevent irregularity. And to keep
the convicts from straggling, the provost Marshall, aided by the
patrol, had orders to take into custody all convicts that should be
found without the lines and to leave them in charge of the main or
quarter guard.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b> </b><b>A convenient place for the cattle being
found, the few that remained were landed. The frame and material for
the governor’s house, constructed by Smith in St George’s Fields,
were likewise sent on shore, and some preparations made for erecting
it’.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>This day, Captain Hunter and Lieutenant
Bradley began to take a survey of the harbor....The laboratory and sick tents were erected
and, I am sorry to say, were soon filled with patients afflicted with
the true camp dysentery and the scurvy. More pitiable objects were
perhaps never seen. Not a comfort or convenience could be got for
them, besides the very few we had with us.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The sick have increased since our landing to
such a degree, that a spot for a general hospital has been marked out
and artificers already employed on it. A proper spot, contiguous to
the hospital, has been chosen to raise such vegetables as can be
produced at this season of the year; and where a permanent garden for
the use of the hospital is to be established.’ Surgeon White.</b> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">“<b>Into the head of the cove, on which our
establishment is fixed, runs a small stream of fresh water, which
serves to divide the adjacent country to a little distance, in the
direction of north and south. On the eastern side of this rivulet,
the Governor fixed his place of residence, with a large body of
convicts encamped near him; and on the western side was disposed the
remaining part of these people, near the marine encampment.”Captain Watkin Tench.</b> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">“<b>On the point of the land which forms the
west side of the cove…a small observatory has been raised under the
direction of Lieutenant Dawes who was charged by the Board of
Longitude with the care of observing the expected comet.Captain Arthur Phillip.</b> </span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><b> 1787-1788</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><b>Assembling for the Muster of the First
Fleet.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The number of persons who arrived on the
first fleet to Australia has often been confused, due to the addition
of those who were merely part of the transportation system and who
played no other part in the historic settlement other than getting
the convicts ashore. The crews who manned the vessels involved were
doing their job and it is not surprising to see them overlooked to a
certain extent, while the officers, convicts and marines are
reasonably well documented.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Over 1400 persons sailed from England in
the first fleet, more than 750 were convicts with 568 male and 191
female convicts being the accepted figure. Many were shifted about
from ship to ship during the voyage, which added to the confusion in
the official records. The many births, the few deaths and some
escapes, did not help matters,</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Overall, we can only go by the number
given for the convicts who sailed and the names of those who arrived
safely. These are provided in the lists to follow. Most of the
officers returned to England when their service was ended, many
marines settled in the new land with their wives and children and
took up the offer of land in the new colony.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The number of convicts loaded aboard each
vessel is shown beneath the name of each particular ship, this should
but may not tally with the names shown. The health of the convicts
became of great importance to Captain Phillip and his surgeons. The
arrival of some very dirty and unhealthy prisoners at the holding
prisons, convinced Phillip that everything for the voyage must be in
order, that all convicts who were to be transported in the first
fleet, would be in a fair degree of health.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The transports were laid out in the style
of troop transports, hammocks were arranged and the mess had tables
and stools. Bulkheads were placed the width of each ship slightly to
the rear of the mainmast. This was designed to hold the convicts if
an escape was being planned. The bulkheads had loop holes so guns
could be fired into any disturbance among the convicts. The bulkheads
were also supposed to stop the guards and convicts from having
personal or intimate contact, with each other.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>All hatches were heavily secured and
sentries were on duty at all times during the voyage. The sentries
were kept armed while standing on duty and in an incredible
oversight, the only weapons that could be fired were the pistols, the
Admiralty had forgotten to place ammunition for the rifles among the
colonial stores. This may have been a planned move in case of a mass
escape but it was more likely an oversight.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Food was rationed to the convicts at the
rate of Per Week; Salted Beef; 4 pounds, Salted Pork; 2 pounds; Peas;
2 pounds. Oatmeal: 3 pounds. Butter: 6 ounces. Cheese ¾ pound. Bread
[Biscuit] 7 pounds. Vinegar: ½ pint. Other items i.e.: rice, potato
soup, and dried fish were at times given to the convicts. Fresh meat
and vegetables [while in port] were also added to the diet.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>To give the reader some idea of the
travel conditions enjoyed by all aboard each of the transports, this
is a description of one but really all of them; ‘The ships decks
were crowded with wooden pens containing Sheep, Hogs, Goats, Puppies,
Kids, Turkeys, Geese, Ducks, Chickens, Pigeons and Cats.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>When the fleet arrived at the Cape of
Good Hope, they took on more supplies. A bull, a bull calf, seven
cows, a stallion, three mares and three colts, 44 more sheep, 4
goats, 28 boars and sows. Added to that cacophony of sound were the
many family pets that also came with the officers and marines.
Scattered among the pens on deck, were numerous plants and trees.
Below decks was exactly the same, except that the convicts were there
for much of the time. The noise of fighting and cursing men and
women, added to the farmyard orchestra on each vessel, barely needs
description.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The officers and marines also took their
furniture with them, Surgeon George Wogan brought his piano with him
and this he donated to the MacArthur family, before returning to
England in 1791.The total tonnage of the combined ships of the first
fleet was 3892 tons. Eleven ships that barely weighed the same as a
small cargo coaster of today, aboard were some 1487 adult persons
made up of 759 convicts and 13 of their children, 252 marines
including their wives and children, 20 officials, 210 seamen [Naval]
and 233 merchant seamen.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The strange little fleet waddled its way
across the oceans and the events that occurred aboard the vessels are
much too involved and would require a separate set of books to relate
them. Suffice to say that many of the women managed to get pregnant
by their jailers and the official staff.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Most of the trouble came from the women
and the guards regularly complained about them. The women managed to
break through the bulkheads to get to the men waiting on the other
side. The men of course probably aided and abetted the women in their
efforts, although the penalty for doing this was too harsh for most
men to get involved, it did not stop the women.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The total number of those who remained in
Australia after the ships departed, were 1030. This number included
the Governor, 9 of his staff, the Surveyor General, the Surgeon and
four assistants, the Chaplain and his wife and two servants, 211
marines, 46 of their wives and children, 736 convicts and 17 of their
children. Thirteen sailors remained in the colony after the ships
sailed for England; they had probably become attached to some of the
female convicts.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The fleet was headed by the flagship HMS
‘Sirius’ which had been originally named ‘Berwick’ [probably
an East Indiaman]. She was built on the Thames River in 1781 and was
classed as a sixth rate man-o-war. She carried an armament less than
was usually had by a vessel her size, with four six-pounder cannon
mounted and six carronades. She also carried ten six-pounders in her
hold with ironwork ready for the building of their gun carriages.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>As the fleet sailed, the officers noticed
that the male convicts seemed much more distressed by being torn away
from their loved ones, than the women. Captain Watkin Tench reported
that ‘Although the greater number of convicts showed a high degree
of satisfaction as the ships began their voyage, many of the men
could not suppress their distress. One woman dropped some tears but
these were soon wiped away. After that, the accent of sorrow was no
longer heard.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><b>Diary of Lieutenant Ralph Clark [first
entry]</b> </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">‘<b>May 13<sup>th</sup> 1787. 5 o’clock
in the morning, The ‘Sirius’ made the final signal for the whole
fleet to get under way. O gracious God, send that we may put into
Plymouth or Torbay on our way down the channel, that I may see our
dear and fond affectionate Alicia and our sweet son before I leave
them for this long absence. O Almighty God, heed my prayer and grant
me this request…. What makes me so happy this day is because that I
am in hopes that the fleet will put into Plymouth. Oh my fond heart,
lay still for you may be disappointed, I trust in God you will not.</b></span><br />

Clark [final entry May 13<sup>th</sup> 1787.]</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The fleet sailed and did not put in at

my hopes are over of seeing my beloved wife and son’.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><b>Most flour and seed products were
unusable when the fleet reached Australia, the ship "Supply"
was soon dispatched to Batavia for stores (April 1790) and a Dutch
vessel was hired at that Port, the<span style="font-size: large;"> "Waaksamheyd"</span> which was
a Wood Snow or Brig of 350 tons. The cost of this all came to around
11,000 English pounds and was considered exorbitant for the time.
HMS "Supply" then returned to her duties.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Such was the First Fleet to Australia and
the beginnings of European settlement in this great southern
continent. From that moment onward, the trickle of humanity became a
stream and the birth of a strong and vibrant nation had begun.</b></span><br />
<br />
<div style="page-break-before: always;">
<span style="color: black;">
<b><span style="font-size: medium;">What became of the
First Fleet Ships?</span></b></span></div>
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">"Alexander" </span>went off the
shipping register in 1808 and was probably broken up at that time.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">"Scarborough"</span> was broken up
in 1798 after completing her second voyage out to Australia with
convicts</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b> <span style="font-size: large;">"Prince of Wales" </span>was
registered at Port Royal, Martinique in 1797; her eventual fate is
unknown.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">"Lady Penryhn"</span> was captured
off the West Indies in 1811 and if not scuttled, she was perhaps
broken up.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">"Charlotte"</span> was lost off
Newfoundland in November 1818.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">"Friendship"</span> was scuttled
on October 28<sup>th</sup> 1788, in the straits of Maccassar, the
crews of both the "Alexander" and the "Friendship"
were suffering from scurvy, so much so, that the "Friendship"
was scuttled to give the "Alexander" a full complement.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The armed tender <span style="font-size: large;">"Supply"</span>
became so badly in need of repair by the end of May 1791, that she
was deemed ready for a total refit. In fact, as early as October
1790, she had been ordered home for just that reason but as she was
needed for much work at the new settlement, she did not sail for
England until 26<sup>th</sup> November 1791. She sighted the Lizard
on 20<sup>th</sup> April 1792 and the soon to be famous ship, HMS
"Supply" then disappears into the mists of time and was
probably broken up.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The Flagship <span style="font-size: large;">"Sirius" </span>came to
an ignominious end at Norfolk Island on the 19<sup>th</sup> March
1790, when after spending three days discharging convicts, she

ashore. No lives were lost but "Sirius" was a total wreck.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><b>The first islands off the East Coast of
Australia to be investigated, were Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands. The
discovery of wonderful stands of timber on Norfolk Island made it
necessary that the island be occupied as quickly as was possible.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>On the 14<sup>th</sup> of February 1788, a
little less than a month after she had been the first ship to arrive
at Botany Bay, the armed tender, ‘Supply’ was sent to Norfolk
Island. Her master, David Blackburn, wrote to his sister stating
that: ‘in the beginning of February, we took on six months
provisions with the necessary implements for settling a colony on
Norfolk Island. We sailed on the 14<sup>th</sup> of February but were
soon overtaken by a gale of wind, which continued till the 16<sup>th</sup>
but did us no damage. On the 17<sup>th</sup> we discovered an island
to which we gave the name Lord Howe Island. We put off an examination
of this island till our return from Norfolk Island. We arrived at
Norfolk Island on the 29<sup>th</sup> of February but were unable to
land until the 3<sup>rd</sup> of March. We could not land the
provisions as the sea broke with great violence on the shore. We
therefore went in search of a better place, which I discovered at the
south end of the island. Here we landed the colony, with all the
stores and provisions, on the 6<sup>th</sup> and 7<sup>th</sup> of
March, at this place. The Lieutenant gave the name, Sidney Bay’.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Signed: David Blackburn.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">HMS ‘Supply’</span> carried a surgeon, a master
weaver and a midshipman, along with them, she took nine male and six
female convicts.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Lieutenant King was made Commandant of
Norfolk Island and Mr. Jamieson became surgeon to the small
settlement, his assistant was T. Turnpenny Altree. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The rest of the
crew were:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>James Cunningham—Masters Mate from the
‘Sirius’. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Roger Morley—Master Weaver. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>William Westbrook—Sawyer. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Able seamen: Kerridge and Batchelor.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Convicts:<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Male</span>,</span> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Charles McClellan, Richard Widdecombe,
John Mortimer, Nathaniel Lucas, Edward Westlocke, Edward Garth, Noah
Mortimer and two others. Most of the men came from the ‘Charlotte’,
only</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>two came from the ‘Scarborough’.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Convicts, </span><span style="font-size: small;">Female</span>: </span> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Elizabeth Lee, Elizabeth Hipsley,
Elizabeth Colley, Olivia Gascoin, Ann Innett and Susan Gough. The
latter convict was a last minute replacement for Ann Yates who was
pregnant with her second child.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>An interesting side note to this story is
that Ann Yates already had a son, Joseph who was sired by one Joseph
Theakson, who was a marine aboard the ‘Lady Penrhyn’. He spent
time with Ms Yates during the voyage to Australia. Further to that,
none other than Captain David Collins, Judge Advocate sired her later
child. Ann Yates was obviously a desirable young woman, for she
commanded the attentions of men who held high rank. But this learned
gentleman was already married and it is surprising, that Captain
Phillip did not have a firm hold on the way his officers behaved with
the convict women.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><b>Ann Innett also had a prestigious affair,
her paramour was the Commandant of Norfolk Island, Lieutenant Philip
Gidley King. This gentleman sired a son by Ann Innett christened with
his name on the 9<sup>th</sup> of July 1790. Two years later, he
married her off to a convict named Richard John Robinson and less
than two weeks later, Richard Robinson was given ‘Absolute
Remission of sentence of transportation, back dated to the 4<sup>th</sup>
of June, 1791 and at the expiration of seven years from that date. Richard Robinson had fourteen years to life
to serve. For his favour to the Commandant, his sentence reduction
must have been much enjoyed. He not only gained a wife but also four
years plus taken from his sentence.</b></span><br />

SETTLEMENT AT SYDNEY COVE.</b></span></div>
<span style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1800 AD.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Even the French were surprised with the
speed at which the British occupied the East Coast of Australia. By
1800, the little settlement was growing fast. In 1802, Captain
Nicolas Baudin arrived in Sydney in his ship, ‘La Geographe’ and
his naturalists went to work sketching and writing about the
surround.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Peron.</b> </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">“<b>Our arrival at Port Jackson did not
excite so much surprise among the colonists as might have been
expected; but for ourselves, we were completely astonished at the
flourishing state in which we found this singular, and distant
establishment; the port at first attracted our whole attention</b> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">“<b>Towards the middle of this magnificent
port, and on its southern bank, in one of the principal creeks, rises
Sydney Town, capital of the county of Cumberland. And of all the
English colonies in this part of the world, seated at the base of two
hills, they are contiguous to each other; and having the advantage of
a rivulet, which runs completely through it, this infant town affords
a view, at once agreeable and picturesque. To the right, and at the
north point of Sydney Cove, you can perceive the signal battery,
which is built upon a rock, difficult of access. Six pieces of
cannon, protected by a turf entrenchment, cross their fire with that
of another battery, which I shall presently mention; and thus defend
in the most effectual manner, the approach to the harbour and the
town.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Farther on, appear the large buildings that
form the hospital, and which are capable of containing two or three
hundred sick. On the same side of the town, at the seashore, you
observe a very fine magazine, to which the largest ships can come up,
and discharge their cargoes.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b> Beyond the hospital, in the same line, is
the prison, which has several dungeons, capable of holding from an
hundred and fifty to two hundred prisoners; it is surrounded by a
high and strong wall, and has a numerous guard on duty, both by day
and night.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>A short distance from the prison is the
storehouse, for the reception of wines, spirituous liquors, salt,
provisions &etc. In the front of it is the armoury, where the
garrison is drawn up every morning, accompanied by a numerous and
well-composed band, belonging to the New South Wales regiment. The
house of the Lieutenant-Governor-General occupies the whole western
side part of this spot. Behind this is a vast garden, which is worth
the attention of the Philosopher and the Naturalist, on account of
the great number of useful vegetables which are cultivated in it and
which have been procured from every part of the world…</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b> Between the house and the magazine, just
mentioned, is the public school; here are educated in the principals
of religion, morality and virtue, those young females, who are the
hope of the rising colony, but whose parents are either too
degenerate, or too poor, to give them proper instruction….</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Behind the house of the Lieutenant
governor-general, in a large magazine, are deposited all the dried
pulse and corn, belonging to the state. It is a sort of public
granary, intended for the support of the troops, and the people, who
receive their subsistence from the government. The barracks occupy a
considerable square, and have in front several field pieces; the
edifices, for the accommodation of the officers, form the lateral
parts, or ends of the building; and the powder magazine is in the
middle…</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Behind the armoury, is a large square tower,
which serves for an observatory to those English officers who study
astronomy…</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Two fine windmills terminate on this side of
the sweries of the principal public edifices. Over the rivulet that
intersects the town, there was a wooden bridge. Before the departure,
the wooden bridge was destroyed; to make way for one, which they were
about to build of stone; at the same time, the government built a
water mill here…</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>At the East Point of the creek is a second
battery, the fire of which crosses that of the signal station… Near
the Government Creek, there are three public magazines. But in order
to prevent avaricious speculations, or waste, no one is admitted to
these depots without a written order from the governor; in which are
specified the articles that the bearer is in need of. In another
house, are preserved the different uniforms and clothing for the
troops and convicts, as well as vast quantities of sailcloth and
cordage, for the Government ships. The last of the three buildings
just mentioned, is a kind of public manufactory; in which are
employed female convicts. Behind these magazines is the governor’s
house, which is built in the Italian style, surrounded by a
colonnade, as simple as it is elegant, and in front of which is a
fine garden, that descends to the sea-shore…</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b> A short distance to the southward of Sydney
Town, to the left of the great road that leads to Parramatta, you
observe the remains of the first public gibbet that was erected on
the continent of New Holland. The increase of habitations having

<span style="color: black;"><b>The observations made by the French sounded
more like a thorough investigation of the settlement for more than
admirable reasons. It was perhaps tinged with a little jealousy,
because of the excellent deep-water harbour that the English had
secured in such a strategic position.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The Armed vessels, ‘Sirius’ and ‘Supply’
were quickly used as exploration ships and the Southern Pacific
became the focus of attention for the British navy.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>With the French always near at hand, it
became imperative that all islands within the vicinity of the</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>east
coast of Australia, be occupied by Britain in the interest of
security.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>SYDNEY TOWN</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Sydney went ahead at a very fast pace with
gardens and small business being set up everywhere; buildings were
being erected for the stores needed by the ever-growing convict
settlement. Then, as men began to complete their sentences, they took
up allotments and many started farms, orchards and many different
types of small business.Farming types were allotted land and quickly
spread out from the coast toward the Blue Mountains, this was a
barrier that would only be a temporary hold up, to the land hungry
settlers.Ship dry-docks were soon built and
shipbuilding and repair began at an early period during settlement.
Road survey and treks of discovery began to take place, new finds
were happening every other day. And so began the first heart beats of
a new and vital part of the commonwealth.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b> SETTLING VICTORIA AND VICTORIA </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Although whalers and sealers had made camps
along the southern shores of the new British possession, it was not
until 1803, that a settlement at Port Phillip was attempted. The
first ship to take convicts to that area was HMS ‘Calcutta’ under
Captain Daniel Woodruff and in the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
David Collins. The settlement was deemed a failure after only a few
months.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The ‘Calcutta’ and her storeship,
’Ocean’ took up their anchors and sailed for Sullivans Bay in
Tasmania. They there founded Hobart town. The settlement was probably
supplied from Sydney for the first few years until the New South
Wales settlement could allow some of the incoming ships to sail
direct to Hobart.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The first vessel to bring convicts direct to
that port was the ‘Indefatigable’, which arrived in 1812. Six
more years went by and in 1818, the beginning of a very long line of
ships to that port commenced. The last ship to arrive at Hobart with
convicts was the ‘St Vincent’ in 1853</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b> After the first attempt at settling Port
Phillip, some years went by before another try was made in 1835 when
John Bateman ‘purchased’ 600,000 acres of land from the Dutigalla
tribe of aborigines. The elders of the tribe were given blankets,
knives and axes, some mirrors, handkerchiefs and flour made up the
total and final payment.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Another group of settlers from Tasmania,
attempted to be part of the foundation of Melbourne when one month
after Bateman’s group set up camp at Corio Bay, they began erecting
their own buildings. The land bought by Bateman's group was taken
over by the Government and two land sales were had, one in June 1837
and the other in September 1838. All Bateman's group got from the
whole experience, was the privilege of having hills that surround
Melbourne, named after them. Convicts began their journeys to Port
Phillip in 1844, 41 years after the first attempt had been made and 9
years after Bateman came to the area. The first convict ship to
arrive in 1844 was the ‘Royal George’ and the last was the ‘Eden’
in 1849. A total of 2026 convicts were delivered in ten ships to Port
Phillip, of these, 299 were relocated to Hobart town and 20 died. One
was relanded from the ‘Stratheden’ before leaving England and so
the settlement at Port Phillip [now Melbourne] had its beginnings.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b> THE CONVICT HULKS OF ENGLAND </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>When shipment of convicts to the Americas
and Africa, prison close to the departure points became a necessary
requisite for their military guards. Ships that were no longer of
good use at sea were stripped of their topmasts and gear. These
vessels were well suited for the work as they were round bottom ships
that would not roll over when the tide went out.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>So, they were place at strategic points on
the English mud flats and cells, toilets and punishment areas were
built into them. Soon, they were filled to overloading and more were
bought by the Admiralty so as to stop the overcrowding as the
prisoners waited for the convict ships to take them to the selected
colony.At first, these hulks were hellholes and it
was some time before decent humanity stepped in to clean them up. Two
very well known hulks at Deptford and Plymouth were the <span style="font-size: large;">‘Discovery’</span>
and the<span style="font-size: large;"> ‘York’.</span>Woolwich had the<span style="font-size: large;"> ‘Justicia’ </span>the
<span style="font-size: large;">‘Censor’</span>,<span style="font-size: large;"> ’Stanislaus’</span> and the <span style="font-size: large;">‘Ceres’</span>, which was used to
hold convicts going to America and in her last two years, Australia.
This vessel was discharged from her hulk duties on March 13<sup>th</sup>
1791.Langstone Harbour had the <span style="font-size: large;">‘Fortune’</span> and
a single unknown hospital hulk. Hamoaze Harbour at Plymouth had the
<span style="font-size: large;">‘Dunkirk’ </span>hulk, which was also finally discharged in 1791.Portsmouth had the <span style="font-size: large;">‘Lion’ </span>and the
hospital hulk <span style="font-size: large;">‘Laurell’</span>.Although these ships received a very bad
name as prison hulks, they were once great ships of the sea and some
actually fought in wars while others defended their passengers
against piracy. Some were also very involved in the East Indies
traThe first islands off the East Coast of
Australia to be investigated, were Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands. The
discovery of wonderful stands of timber on Norfolk Island made it
necessary that the island be occupied as quickly as was possible.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b> THE NORFOLK ISLAND COLONY</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>On the 14<sup>th</sup> of February 1788, a
little less than a month after she had been the first ship to arrive
at Botany Bay, the armed tender, ‘Supply’ was sent to Norfolk
Island. Her master, David Blackburn, wrote to his sister stating
that: ‘in the beginning of February, we took on six months
provisions with the necessary implements for settling a colony on
Norfolk Island. We sailed on the 14<sup>th</sup> of February but were
soon overtaken by a gale of wind, which continued till the 16<sup>th</sup>
but did us no damage. On the 17<sup>th</sup> we discovered an island
to which we gave the name Lord Howe Island. We put off an examination
of this island till our return from Norfolk Island. We arrived at
Norfolk Island on the 29<sup>th</sup> of February but were unable to
land until the 3<sup>rd</sup> of March. We could not land the
provisions as the sea broke with great violence on the shore. We
therefore went in search of a better place, which I discovered at the
south end of the island. Here we landed the colony, with all the
stores and provisions, on the 6<sup>th</sup> and 7<sup>th</sup> of
March, at this place. The Lieutenant gave the name, Sidney Bay’.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Signed: David Blackburn.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>HMS ‘Supply’ carried a surgeon, a master
weaver and a midshipman, along with them, she took nine male and six
female convicts.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Lieutenant King was made Commandant of
Norfolk Island and Mr. Jamieson became surgeon to the small
settlement, his assistant was T. Turnpenny Altree. The rest of the
crew was:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>James Cunningham—Masters Mate from the
‘Sirius’. Roger Morley—Master Weaver. William Westbrook—Sawyer.
Able seamen: Kerridge and Batchelor.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Convicts:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Male, Charles McClellan, Richard Widdecombe,
John Mortimer, Nathaniel Lucas, Edward Westlocke, Edward Garth, Noah
Mortimer and two others. Most of the men came from the ‘Charlotte’,
only two came from the ‘Scarborough’.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Female: Elizabeth Lee, Elizabeth Hipsley,
Elizabeth Colley, Olivia Gascoin, Ann Innett and Susan Gough. The
latter convict was a last minute replacement for Ann Yates who was
pregnant with her second child.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>An interesting side note to this story is
that Ann Yates already had a son, Joseph who was sired by one Joseph
Theakson, who was a marine aboard the ‘Lady Penrhyn’. He spent
time with Ms Yates during the voyage to Australia. Further to that,
none other than Captain David Collins, Judge Advocate sired her later
child. Ann Yates was obviously a desirable young woman, for she
commanded the attentions of men who held high rank. But this learned
gentleman was already married and it is surprising, that Captain
Phillip did not have a firm hold on the way his officers behaved with
the convict women.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Ann Innett also had a prestigious affair,
her paramour was the Commandant of Norfolk Island, Lieutenant Philip
Gidley King. This gentleman sired a son by Ann Innett christened with
his name on the 9<sup>th</sup> of July 1790. Two years later, he
married her off to a convict named Richard John Robinson and less
than two weeks later, Richard Robinson was given ‘Absolute
Remission of sentence of transportation back dated to the 4<sup>th</sup>
of June, 1791 and at the expiration of seven years from that date. Richard Robinson had fourteen years to life
to serve. For his favour to the Commandant, his sentence reduction
must have been much enjoyed. He not only gained a wife but also had four
years plus taken from his sentence.</b></span><br />

Shapcote who was the naval agent. His was a dreadful command, for
over 280 convicts died during the voyage. Many were terribly ill when
the convoy arrived and the greater number of deaths occurred on the
Neptune, the vessel on which Shapcote based himself. Shapcote was not
a suitable person to hold command of a convict ship let alone a
fleet. He allowed the very vicious Captain Donald Trail of the
‘Neptune’, to give the convicts a hellish time before he
[Shapcote] himself died, sometime soon after leaving Cape Town on the
final leg of the voyage. Trail was probably a weakling who feared for
his own safety and therefore had his men keep the convicts below
decks for almost the entire voyage.</b> </span><br />

Captain E. Bunker was the commander for the 1791 convict voyage to
Botany Bay. A possible reason for this is the way that names were
hand written in those days, Some lists are almost unreadable and
require much patience. The name Bunker also, in some places looks
like Barker. As with the ‘Salamander’, Lloyds List also shows
that Captain Bunker was definitely in command for that voyage. She
continued to sail to Australia up until the turn of the century.

is more likely that Mitchison was the surgeon as Captain George Bowen
took this vessel over from Captain Weatherhead in 1790. He remained
with her until almost the turn of the century. ’Active’ went off

four months and five days for the voyage. Master: Captain M
Weatherhead who had previously commanded the ‘Active’. It is
believed that Calvert and Co, who were extremely taken with the
convict trade, brought out of retirement, two tired vessels. Both
were French built and both were probably captured as prizes.
‘Matilda’ is shown as being built in France in 1779 and the
‘Albermarle’ was probably an older ship, also built in France.
Captain Weatherhead was also probably due for retirement. He had
previously been master of the ‘Active’ for Calvert and Co and it
is likely that they also brought him back for one voyage in the
‘Matilda’ which went off the register in 1794. Captain Boulton
had the ‘Albermarle’ which also went off the register the moment
she returned from Sydney. He may have been a retired captain as well.

Charles Bateson mistakenly gives Captain George Bowen as master of
this vessel in his book, ‘The Convict Ships’. In fact Bowen was
master of the ‘Active’ from 1790 until 1797. [See ‘Active’].</b> ‘<b>Albermarle’ had originally embarked
male convicts only. Somehow, six females who had been sentenced to
transportation at Middlesex mysteriously appear on the convict list
of the ‘Albermarle’. They were all sentenced on the 16<sup>th</sup>
of February 1791 and were hurriedly placed aboard the ‘Albermarle’
only being officially listed midway through the arrival list. Only
two men were sentenced on that same day and at that same place, they
too, were on board. The Author believes that the females and the two
men, were rushed straight from court to the ‘Albermarle’ and were
not from the ‘Mary Ann’ as thought by Bateson.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Charles Bateson believed that the 6 women
were taken off the ‘Mary Ann’. That vessel left England on the
16<sup>th</sup> of February 1791 and arrived in Sydney on the 9<sup>th</sup>
of July 1791. This was a record for a convict ship of that era, a
voyage of 143 days. ‘Mary Ann’ stopped only at St Jago on the
outward voyage and ‘Albermarle’ was at least a month behind her
and in company with others of the third fleet. She did not arrive
until October, three months after the ‘Mary Ann’. The convict
muster for ‘Mary Ann’ does not show the names of these women
although there are about twelve names crossed out and are for the
most part, unreadable. The female convicts placed aboard the
‘Albermarle’ were: Elizabeth Ozeland, Ann Griffin, Mary Gorman,
Sarah Walker alias Frost, Elizabeth Cave and Sarah Smith. It is far
more likely that they were rushed aboard ‘Albermarle’ just before
the ship left for Australia. Two male convicts aboard this vessel
were sentenced on the same day as the women; they also faced court at
Middlesex and were probably sent aboard the vessel along with the
women. The rest of the convicts faced court from 1789 to 1790. The 12
female convicts that were crossed off the list of the ‘Mary Ann’,
were probably sent out aboard the ‘Pitt’ or perhaps one of the
smaller Brigs or Schooners that were contracted on occasions.</b> </span><br />

rumours of a mutiny were in the air and even less time for one to be
effected. The ‘Lady Shore’ became the first and only successful
mutiny of a convict ship. She sailed in May 1797 and did not even
make Rio de Janiero before the mutiny was in full swing. Her master,
Captain Willcocks was killed and her officers were placed in a long
boat with 29 men and women and were cast adrift off the coast of
Brazil. The ‘Lady Shore’ was sailed to Montevideo and was taken
as a prize of war by the Spanish and the mutineers were taken as
prisoners of war while the female convicts were placed as servants to
the Spanish nobility in that city. The male convict [Major Semple]
eventually made his way to the British authorities in Morocco and
surrendered himself.</b> </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>An well-armed and ready crew quickly put
down the mutiny. The ringleaders were brought to the quarterdeck
where the instigator of the plot, Jeremy Prendergast, knelt before
the captain pleading his innocence. Captain Betts calmly shot him in
the head. Of the convicts aboard, 44 died of hunger and illness
during the rest of the voyage due to the captain keeping them below
decks and under close guard. Captain Betts went to trial for killing
Prendergast and also for killing 13 other convicts during the mutiny.
He was acquitted of killing the 13 convicts but was convicted of the
manslaughter of Jeremy Prendergast. He was fined 500 pounds and the
court ordered that he be held in custody until the fine was paid.
Governor King came to the rescue of Captain Betts by granting him a
pardon until he could face the English courts. In a world where one

Ireland and many were very ill due to Typhus when embarked. After
sailing from Cork, she suffered bad weather all the way to Rio, at
which port it was deemed necessary to stop due to damage to the
mizzenmast. Fifteen of her convicts had already died in
the four weeks at sea and more were sick everyday. The death toll
kept rising and by the time the ship reached Cape Town, she'd had 25
convict deaths. During the next stage of the voyage, a Sergeant of
the guard and one of his soldier’s wives died and it was claimed by
Captain Brooks that they had died due to poison administered by the
convicts who were trying to kill all officers and guards aboard. The captain even tried to claim that the
convicts had tried to mutiny but the committee rejected all these
claims assigned to investigate the death toll, which stood at 65 by
the time she reached Sydney. Four other males died a few days after
arrival. Governor King stated that ‘the condition of the convicts
on both the ‘Hercules’ and the ‘Atlas I’ were in a miserable
state with some of them lying dead with heavy irons still attached to
them. Captain Brooks also received no punishment for his inhumanity

she wallowed about just offshore with flames rising up her masts and
getting nearer to the loaded cannon and to her magazine which
contained a goodly supply of gunpowder. Many people gathered on shore to watch the
fire and wait to see what would happen when the guns and/or the
magazine exploded. Sure enough, the cannons began firing late in the
afternoon and it must have been of some amusement when a cannonball
smashed through the front window of the resident Naval Officer. The

was nearing Shoalhaven and it took a navigator from the ‘Broxenbury’
to take over from the captain. Her surgeon also died and the first

brought the total deaths from Typhus to 51 aboard this vessel. Her
junior officer succeeded to the command of ‘Surrey I’ and

430 Tons and was under the command of Captain G. Champlin. She
carried some 150 men and was far too strong for the luckless little
convict ship. The ‘Warrior’ though was not interested in anything
but the guns and ammunition from ‘Francis and Eliza’ and after
being detained for a short period, she was allowed to sail on, minus
a few of the crew who wished to go over to the Americans. The rest of
the crew aboard the convict ship took hold of the hard liquor aboard
the ‘Francis’ and became riotous but the convict, especially the
men were well behaved and helped those of the crew who were not drunk
and disorderly, to man the ship. When the ship reached Tenerife, the
captain shipped his Chief mate and 4 of the crew back to England. She
then sailed in convoy with the ship ‘Canada’ under escort with

<span style="color: black;"><b>The wood
brig ‘Amity’ sat at her moorings riding the gentle swell that
came with the flat calm of a new moon over Sydney Harbour. She was a
powerful little vessel, built for the rigors of the North Atlantic
Ocean; she had been built seven years before in 1816 and had plied
the Trans-Atlantic trade without so much as a single hitch. The
‘Amity’ was bought by the Ralston family of Wigtown, Scotland,
they had decided to buy their own vessel to ship their household
goods and family, lock, stock and barrel to Australia. They departed
Scotland in late November 1823 and arrived in Sydney in May 1824.
They probably opted for a quiet six-month voyage out to avoid the risk of
shipwreck. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Private vessels of her size could easily complete the
voyage in three to four months. On June 10<sup>th</sup> 1824, the
Sydney Gazette reported that the Government of New South Wales
intended to form a settlement at Moreton Bay or a nearby vicinity.
With this point in view, the government bought and equipped the
‘Amity’ with every description of Provisions and Stores to last
the little settlement for a period of six months. The Colonial
Botanical Gardener, Mr. Fraser, selected tropical fruit plants, viz.
Pineapples, Mangoes, Lemons, Oranges, Loquats, Bananas and Guavas
etc. Seeds were also sent such as Cabbage, Lettuce, French Beans,
Turnips and Pumpkins. A small schooner was set on her deck for use in
surveying the Brisbane River. The ‘Amity’ was placed under the
captaincy of Captain Penson and she departed Sydney on the 1<sup>st</sup>
of September 1824, bound for Moreton Bay. Those who went with her

<span style="color: black;"><b>Allan Cunningham wrote in his journal:1st September 1824. "With
a light breeze from the westward, we weighed anchor and quitted the harbour". </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>And so they were underway, the settlement
was yet to be sited and they only had old reports on which to rely
for guidance.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Lt. Miller wrote to the Governor on the 30<sup>th</sup>
of September, 'We anchored here on the following evening of the 12<sup>th</sup>
instant within ¼ of a mile of Redcliffe Point. On the following day,
I accompanied the Surveyor General to examine the best island in the
bay which we found in no respect eligible, being small, swampy and
without fresh water. On the 14<sup>th</sup>, we selected here,
apparently calculated in all respects to answer the wishes of his
Excellency. [It was] well watered by a deep lagoon one hundred and
fifty yards from the place marked out for the settlement.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Temporary huts, for the shelter of the
soldiers and convicts were constructed, as well as a temporary store
as a repository for the ironmongery. The Commissariat Stores for the
reception of the provision for the subsistence of the settlement were
erected of logs, under the direction of Mr. Scott. The Commandant’s
house, which had been brought from Port Jackson in frame, was also in
progress. But [due to] the actual absence of parts and other frames
not fitting together, much inconvenience had arisen. Obliging new
materials to be cut by the sawyers, who were fully employed cutting
weatherboards, scantling and rafters from the blue gum of these
forests.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><b>On the northern side of the creek, the
gardens were laid out and the planting of vegetables commenced.
Although there was a plentiful supply of water, a well was dug near
the shore. The trees lining the path from the creek to the shore were
marked on both sides so the soldiers would not lose their way”.</b></span><i><span style="color: black;"><b> </b></span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: black;"><b>Lt. Henry Miller.</b></span></i><span style="color: black;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The official party returned to Sydney aboard
the ‘Amity’ and arrived there after a passage of only four days.
John Oxley reported leaving the settlement in good health and
spirits. The site of the settlement was dry and open to the sea
breeze.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Governor Brisbane was pleased with the
report and decided to visit Moreton Bay and the river that had been
named after him. The chief Justice, John Macarthur and Francis
Stephens accompanied the governor on the settlement first vice-regal
visit to Moreton Bay. When they arrived, they found the settlement
progressing well and the officials went sight seeing on the Brisbane
River and marveled at its beauty. A site was fixed for a new town to
be built on the river, a few miles upstream, the chief justice wanted
to name it ‘Edenglassie’ but the name never stuck and the town
became known by the same name as the Brisbane River.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Despite the fact that the new settlement had
plenty of water, it was decided to look around for a new port.
Redcliffe was too open to the weather and the ‘Amity’ almost came
to grief while at anchor, she had to ride out a storm, about four
miles offshore.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Cleveland was looked at but after wading
through knee high mud at low tide, that thought was abandoned and the
decision was made to take the settlement to Brisbane, the move was

Master: Captain William Carr. Surgeon: Peter J. Suther. It was on the
return voyage to England, that Captain Carr decided to drop anchor
off Murray Island at the entrance to the Torres Strait. His mission
was to trade for tortoise shell but when the native canoes arrived at
the ship, the crew noticed a white boy among the savages. When asked
who he was, the boy replied that he was a survivor of the vessel
‘Charles Eaton’ which was lost on Detached Reef at the northern
end of the Great Barrier Reef. The boy could not come aboard the
‘Mangles’ perhaps in fear of his life and Captain Carr sailed off
to Kupang [Timor] where he reported the matter. Captain Morgan Lewis
in the ‘Isabella’ was dispatched to investigate and on June 19<sup>th</sup>
1836, a canoe came from the island to meet the ‘Isabella’. On
board was the ship's boy of the ‘Charles Eaton’, John Ireland. He
was saved from his fate, as was the only other survivor, William
D’Oyley who was just four years old at the time. The story of this
particular shipwreck [‘Charles Eaton’] is a gruesome reminder of
the perils faced by castaways while among the savage islands. [See

<span style="color: black;"><b>*The last three of these women were
Afro-Jamaicans, all bore the mark of the slave. Many such
Afro-Americans came to Australia and Tasmania. Their bloodlines have
long since been absorbed into the Australian multi-culture.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>A total of 161 female convicts were embarked
in England, all survived the voyage. Most of the crimes were stealing
and man robbing, handkerchiefs and shawls were the most popular goods
that were stolen. Sentences of seven years for a first offence and 14
years to life for second or repeated offences were given.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Many of the women convicts had children that
accompanied them. Jane Carter, a widow, had one boy child. Rachael
Finnegan, single, had one boy child. Ellen Clark, a widow, had three
children, two boys and a girl.. Bridget McDonald, married, had one
young boy child. Ann Reason, single, had one boy child. Hannah Hart,
a widow had one girl child. Frances Little, single, had one girl
child. Diana Donathew, married, had two male children. Charlotte
Chinery, single, had two female children. Bridget Calligan a widow
had two children, one boy one girl, the son went with her aged 18
months. Alice MacShape a widow had two female children. Ann
Wilkinson, married, had four children, one girl child went with her.
Ann Werham, single, had one boy child. Elizabeth Curtis, married, had
two male children, one went with her. Eliza Kerry a widow had three
male children. Martha Starkie had three children, two boys and a
girl. Mary Starkie, Single, had one boy child. Louisa Collier
Married, had one girl child. Mary Mahone, married, had two children,
one boy one girl. About 29 children went with them to Australia,
names were not supplied but the boys outnumbered the girls 19 to 12.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b> Sadly, families were broken up and in many
cases, husbands or wives either accompanied their spouses and served
a sentence for no crime or if not allowed to go with their loved one,
the spouse would commit a crime and be on the next ship out. Some
wives joined their husbands after five or six years battling on alone
in the old countries. Mothers, separated from children of ten years
old and upwards, could expect their child to commit a crime at some
time in the future so that they could join up with their mother in
Australia. In some cases. Almost entire families came to Australia
separated by only a few years as they tried desperately to unite once
again.</b> </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>*A feature of the convict list for this
vessel is the fact that some of the convicts were from the West
Indies. They were black African-American men who were convicted of
crimes that went from stealing a rabbit [life] to manslaughter [2
cases, one got 14 years, the other life.]. The strange and erratic
way of the judiciary during that topsy-turvy era, must have had
solicitors beating their heads against the hallowed walls of the Old
Bailey. Strange as it may seem, the British government shipped the
West Indians back to England and then sent them out to Australia
rather than have use for them in the West Indies. The law certainly
made the convicts pay for a crime, sentences were given dependant on
the whim of the magistrate.</b> </span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><b>Other women appear to have committed crimes
to join husbands or relatives in Australia. Ellen Gordon, whose
husband Rodger was transported aboard the Captain Cook 1836, was one
such wife who wanted to join her husband</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Catherine Clarke, husband Richard Murphy and
her brother Thomas Clarke were transported in 1833.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Honora Shea had almost her whole family

was also transported the same year.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Catherine McGowan, her husband Patrick
Gallagher was transported in 1831.</b></span><br />

were transported a few years earlier.</b></span><br />

Driscoll was transported in 1830 and her mother Mary and sister Ellen

transported aboard the ‘Roslyn Castle’ in 1836. Her husband
Patrick Byrne was transported about 1831.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>This is a small roll call for just one
vessel, the total amount of convicts that had family already in the
new colonies must have numbered in the thousands.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>*Jane McMahon, also used the first name,
Bridget.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><b>*Catherine Walsh, also went by the name Mary
Walsh</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>*Mary Maloney appears to have refused to
give personal details other than her age, the examiner may have
guessed this at. She was convicted of the felony; ‘Wearing
apparel’. Her physical description leans toward her profession
being a cook from one of the cities, Dublin or Cork. She was tried in
Dublin and one wonders what she wore that so outraged the judge.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><b>Petty Crime:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Although there are a few severe cases, it is
amazing to read of the pettiness of the court processes of the time.
Most crimes were for stealing shawls, hankies and other items of
clothing. Food and other small items were also on the pilfer list.
Life sentences were given in bad cases or if a convict had been in
trouble before, even a previous sentence of ten days for drunk could
get a convict an extra seven years transportation. The more serious
crimes like murder and manslaughter were few and far between and were
usually dealt with on the Gibbet.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Highway robbery was automatically a life
sentence and although much more prevalent than killings they also,
were in the minority. Most life sentences were for second offenders,
one young man received life for stealing some corn only because he
had been jailed for 6 months on a previous occasion. The very young
were not spared stiff sentences. Children as young as 11 years, were
sent to the colonies. One 15-year-old lad in the above list, received
10 years for stealing a shirt. It is hoped that he survived the
ordeal and found his way home to his family.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Special notations.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>* The father of these two young brothers,
Richard Berresford, arrived in Australia as a convict in</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>1822.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>* John Brown went by the alias Edward
Speechley in his short career as a highwayman.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>* John Davis had already been to Australia.
He had been given a term of seven years in 1824 and</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>was transported
aboard the ‘Princess Charlotte’ which arrived at Hobart in that
year. One can only</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>assume that he must have enjoyed the first
experience.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>*Charles Evans had also been previously
transported to Australia, he came as a free child with his mother
aboard the ‘Friendship’ in 1818. His real name was Bernard Duffey
and his father had the same name when he also was transported for
life aboard the ‘Shipley’ in 1817. It easy to see how traumatized
families were when separated. It seems obvious that the mother
committed a crime one-year after the father was sent out for life,
bringing the 15-year-old Charles with her. The young Bernard [Charles
Evans] Duffey went back to England when old enough and took a partner
or married while there. He stole a snuffbox to get his ticket back to
Australia and it would be fascinating to know if his wife and two
daughters were able to join him.</b> </span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><b>Although not listed as an official convict
ship by Bateson in his book The Convict Ships, the ‘Buffalo’
certainly carried enough convicts, to warrant inclusion here. Many

fleet ship, ‘Prince of Wales’, carried only 50 prisoners. There
is a great deal of interest in these ships and smaller vessels, which
came from other parts of the world. They transported soldiers and
citizens from British settlements in Canada, the West Indies, India,
South Africa and even America. These convicts suffered the same fate
as those who came direct from England, Scotland and Ireland.</b></span><br />

ashore after she anchored, leaving the mate and Surgeon Kelsall
aboard and in charge. The ship parted her cables and drifted toward
the shore and many of the towns folk came out to watch the events
unfolding as first the ‘Abercrombie Robinson’ went ashore
followed by the ‘Waterloo’. The townspeople were busy helping the
700 soldiers and crew of the former and managed to get hem all ashore
without loss.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The story was different for the ‘Waterloo’,
she was in dire straits and went to pieces in the heavy surf. Her
condition before the storm was said to have been terrible according
to Surgeon Kelsall and it was luck that helped him to survive when
aided by a convict he had ordered un-fettered when the storm broke.
The convict pulled him from the sea as he was almost done. Of her 219
convicts, 143 were drowned and one had died while en-route to
Capetown. Three other convicts, are thought to have been too ill to
sail, when the 72 known surviving convicts were transferred to the
‘Cape Packet’ along with the surgeon. The three convicts may also
have died at some time later or while in hospital. One further
convict died while en-route to Hobart aboard the ‘Cape Packet’,
which also carried three new convicts that were sentenced at
Capetown. She had departed Sheerness on the 1<sup>st</sup> of June
1842. Master: Captain Henry Ager. Surgeon: Henry Kelsall.</b> </span><br />

<span style="color: black;"> ‘<b>EDWIN FOX’ Built 1853 at Sulkeah,
Bengal Province, India. Named after a East India Company financial
convenor. Built by Thomas Reeves for the East India Company but was
kept by the builder. Sold to Duncan Dunbar in an 1854 auction for
30,000 Pounds. Used as Crimea war transport until late 1855. Wood
ship [Teak] of 892 Tons. Length: 144.8 ft. Breadth: 29.8 ft. Depth:
23.6 ft. Last of the many East India Company ships. In 1858, she
carried 280 male convicts to Fremantle, Western Australia and had no
deaths en-route. She departed Plymouth on the 26<sup>th</sup> of
August 1858 and arrived in Fremantle on the 20<sup>th</sup> of
November 1858. Master: Captain Joseph Ferguson. Sold in 1862 to
Gallatly, Hankey and Co and placed on the Australian run. Shaw,
Savill and Albion Co of New Zealand who placed her on the New Zealand
run chartered her. Later Captains were Walpole and Davis. Shaw Savill
bought the ship in 1885 for 2,500 Pounds and they then put her into
the frozen meat trade into which she retired from ocean voyages. She
was used as a freezer for sheep carcases until in 1905, she then
became a coal hulk and landing stage. In 1950, her Poop and
Forecastle were removed and a loading jetty was built over the top of
her at Picton, New Zealand. Strangely, a ship that had been used to
keep men under lock and key, was now and for many years, imprisoned
beneath the unfeeling timbers of a colonial jetty. The ‘Edwin Fox’
was rediscovered in 1964 and was dragged out of her prison by Mr
Norman Brayshaw and his Edwin Fox Restoration Society.. Today, she
floats in a nearby bay and like Humpty Dumpty, is waiting for
finances and someone to put her together again.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></span><br />

it difficult for his captors to know which one was his own.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b> <span style="font-size: large;"> The final cargo.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>And so we come to the end of almost 100
years transportation of human beings to a land completely foreign to
their way of life. This was a rather bad period for the English
judiciary and the political system in use at the time.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The ‘Hougomont’ was the last ship to
carry convicts to an enforced exile in Australia. Many of them were
sent to the colonies for petty crimes that would not stand up in any
court of today. But what better way to open up the colonies in the
Americas, Africa and Australia?</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>England, while opposing black slavery, was
actively using their own to populate and work the colonies at the
lowest possible cost. Convicts were transferred around Australia on
numerous coastal vessels, the ‘Governor Phillip’ being one such
ship. She was capable of carrying many prisoners between ports. On
one voyage from Sydney to Brisbane, she brought 61 convicts to the
north.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The settlements of Sydney, Hobart, Brisbane,
Melbourne and Perth were all created by convict labour. Adelaide and
its surrounding countryside did not go without the efforts of convict
workers although none were shipped direct to that city from England.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>It was convict labour that forged the
beginnings of the cities that are now world-renowned. Yes there were murderers, thieves and
cut-throats among the thousands of people transported but there were
also many more thousands of innocents who were convicted of crimes
that were clearly set up to help populate the Australian colony.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Children received seven to fourteen years
for having a handkerchief that did not belong to them and anyone over
fifty could not expect a trip home, for they were usually given life
sentences. Australia has much to thank these unfortunates for; they
were torn from their loved ones and families and went with heavy
hearts to a far and foreign land. We can feel pride at the efforts of
those remarkable people who were shipped halfway around the world, to
an isolated wild country destined to be, within 200 years, a nation
of people who excel at all tests put upon them.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>It has become apparent while putting this
work together, that many families in Britain and Ireland knew that
they could start a new life in Australia and that by simply
committing a small crime, they would receive free tickets to the
colonies. The price was servitude for at least seven years but the
rewards could be large in respect to land and home ownership that
could only be dreamed of in the ‘auld country’.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Australia can be justly proud of what these
people have become having had such humble beginnings. Their progeny
now excel in sport, profit in business and justify themselves proudly
and firmly in war. What other nation of twenty million [or more] can
quote such a proud record of achievement. There are those who charge
that Australia was built on the backs of convicted criminals, to them
we say, look unto thyself, for you too, have probably been built in
much the same way.</b></span><b><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></b><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><b>The first arrivals.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Pamphlet, Parsons and Finnegan, 1823.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>From the very beginning of settlement, Northern New South Wales [later to become Queensland] was to have more than it's share of wild and very odd occurrences. Convicts first settled the colony at Brisbane in 1823/24 and the little colony was proclaimed in August 1826 after it was discovered officially by John Oxley, in November 1823 in the cutter HM ‘Mermaid’. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>But although John Oxley was given the credit,Thomas Pamphlet, John Finnegan and Richard Parsons who were cast away near the mouth of the Brisbane River, showed him the site in turn. Originally there were four in this group of convicts, they were four ticket-of-leave men who had set sail for the Five Islands somewhat to the south of Port Jackson, where they were to cut cedar wood for the colony at Sydney. They set out in an open boat but had the bad luck to run into a storm, which drove them out to sea. It took them three weeks to get back to the mainland, only to be wrecked on Moreton Island, near the present day city of Brisbane, Queensland.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>One of the four men [Thompson] who set out on the 21<sup>st</sup> of March 1823 died of thirst but the three others made landfall on Moreton island and were assisted by aboriginals, this help was paid for with what little food and clothing the three men had available. When John Uniacke [a guest of John Oxley while the expedition was trying to find a site for the penal colony] wrote of the finding of these men he stated. “On Sunday the 29<sup>th</sup> of November 1823, we came to anchor in Pumice-stone River, Moreton Bay, within 150 yards of the shore. This was in the very place where Captain Flinders had anchored 22 years before… Scarcely was the anchor let go, when we perceived a number of natives advancing rapidly toward the vessel. On looking at them with the glass from the mast-head, I observed one who appeared much larger than the rest, and of a lighter colour. To our surprise and satisfaction, when opposite the vessel, the man hailed us in English. The boat was immediately launched and Messrs., Oxley, Stirling and I, went ashore in her”. While approaching the beach, the natives showed many signs of joy, dancing and embracing the white man, who was nearly as wild as they. He was perfectly naked, and covered all over with white and red paint, of which the natives make good use.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>His name was Thomas Pamphlet; he had left Sydney on March 21<sup>st</sup> 1823 to go to the Five Islands about fifty miles south of Port Jackson. After suffering hardships at sea in a storm in which one of their number died of thirst, they had at length been wrecked on Moreton Island, which forms one side of Moreton Bay, in the upper part of which we are now lying. He was so bewildered with joy that we could make out little of his story that night; so having distributed a few knives, handkerchiefs etc among the friendly blacks, we returned on board, taking him with us. He now informed us that his two surviving companions had traveled in company with him to where we had found him, and had then left about six weeks before resolving to prosecute their way toward Sydney, that Parsons had not been heard of since his departure. Mr. Oxley, on hearing that Finnegan was gone toward the south end of the bay, resolved to seek him…</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Sunday afternoon. At low water, a man was observed walking out on a sandbank from the opposite shore toward us, holding in his hand a long stick with a skin on it; upon which I took the whaleboat and pulled toward him, when it proved to be Finnegan. Both he and Pamphlet concurring in a story they told us, of a large river, which they had crossed, falling into the south end of the bay, Messrs. Oxley and Stirling started next morning in the whale-boat taking Finnegan with them and four days provisions in order to explore it.”</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>One of the humorous things to come out of this happy encounter with the Moreton Bay aboriginals, was that for many years after, the natives were always asking for a type of biscuit that they called Faiv-ahlan [five island]. A more serious fact though, was that Thomas Pamphlet was arrested and tried for larceny a few weeks after he arrived back in Sydney and within another couple of weeks, he was back in Brisbane as a convict sent there for seven years. It is highly likely that the men were ticket-of-leave convicts when they set out to get timber, for the severity of the sentence, especially after the assistance he gave Oxley, was heavy and would have been afforded only if the crime were particularly bad in the circumstances.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><b>It is probable that Pamphlet was sent back to Brisbane after being caught because he had good relations with the local aboriginals. After the death of Thompson, the three men became the first white men to land on Stradbroke Island, Moreton Island, Peel Island and also the first to land at Ormiston on the mainland. They had also landed on Bribie Island to the north and had then made their way back to Moreton Island where they separated. It would be of great interest to find what happened with Pamphlet when he was sent back at the Moreton Bay colony as a second offence prisoner. He would have certainly been a good source of information on the local natives. Especially for convicts who chose to escape the rugged treatment they received from their gaolers. In fact, one could safely assume that many of the runaway convicts received their schooling in the language of the local natives direct from Thomas Pamphlet. </b></span></div>

Length: 75.6 ft: Breadth: 21.5 ft. Depth: 11.5 ft. The wood brig
‘Amity’ sat at her moorings riding the gentle swell that came
with the flat calm of a new moon over Sydney Harbour. She was a
powerful little vessel, built for the rigors of the North Atlantic
Ocean; she had been built seven years before in 1816 and had plied
the Trans-Atlantic trade without so much as a single hitch. The
‘Amity’ was bought by the Ralston family of Wigtown, Scotland,
they had decided to buy their own vessel to ship their household
goods and family, lock, stock and barrel to Australia. They departed
Scotland in late November 1823 and arrived in Sydney in May 1824.
They probably opted for a quiet voyage out to avoid the risk of
shipwreck. Private vessels of her size could easily complete the
voyage in three to four months. On June 10</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
1824, the Sydney Gazette reported that the Government of New South
Wales intended to form a settlement at Moreton Bay or a nearby
vicinity. With this point in view, the government bought and equipped
the ‘Amity’ with every description of Provisions and Stores to
last the little settlement for a period of six months. The Colonial
Botanical Gardener, Mr. Fraser, selected tropical fruit plants, viz.
Pineapples, Mangoes, Lemons, Oranges, Loquats, Bananas and Guavas
etc. Seeds were also sent such as Cabbage, Lettuce, French Beans,
Turnips and Pumpkins. A small schooner was set on her deck for use in
surveying the Brisbane River. The ‘Amity’ was placed under the
captaincy of Captain Penson and she departed Sydney on the 1</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>st</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
<span style="color: black;">of September 1824, bound for Moreton Bay. Those who went with her

of Lieutenant Miller, many of them were volunteers who hoped to gain
their ticket-of-leave as a reward for helping to establish the new
penal colony.</b></span><b> </b><b>Allan Cunningham.<span style="color: #00000a;"> Allan Cunningham wrote in his journal: 'With a
light breeze from the westward, we weighed anchor and quitted the harbor. And so they were underway, the settlement was
yet to be sited and they only had old reports on which to rely for
guidance. Lt. Miller wrote to the Governor on the 30</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
of September, 'We anchored here on the following evening of the 12</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">
instant within ¼ of a mile of Redcliffe Point. On the following day,
I accompanied the Surveyor General to examine the best island in the
bay which we found in no respect eligible, being small, swampy and
without fresh water. On the 14</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="color: black;">,
we selected here, apparently calculated in all respects to answer the
wishes of his Excellency. [It was] well watered by a deep lagoon one
hundred and fifty yards from the place marked out for the settlement. Temporary huts, for the shelter of the soldiers
and convicts were constructed, as well as a temporary store as a
repository for the ironmongery. The Commissariat Stores for the
reception of the provision for the subsistence of the settlement were
erected of logs, under the direction of Mr. Scott. The Commandant’s
house, which had been brought from Port Jackson in frame, was also in
progress. But [due to] the actual absence of parts and other frames
not fitting together, much inconvenience had arisen. Obliging new
materials to be cut by the sawyers, who were fully employed cutting
weatherboards, scantling and rafters from the blue gum of these
forests. On the northern side of the creek, the gardens
were laid out and the planting of vegetables commenced. Although
there was a plentiful supply of water, a well was dug near the shore.
The trees lining the path to the shore were marked on
both sides so the soldiers would not lose their way”.</span><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="color: black;">Lt. Henry Miller</span>. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The official party returned to Sydney aboard
the ‘Amity’ and arrived there after a passage of only four days.
John Oxley reported leaving the settlement in good health and
spirits. The site of the settlement was dry and open to the sea
breeze. Governor Brisbane was pleased with the report
and decided to visit Moreton Bay and the river that had been named
after him. The chief Justice, John Macarthur and Francis Stephens
accompanied the governor on the settlement first vice-regal visit to
Moreton Bay. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">When they arrived, they found the settlement progressing
well and the officials went sight seeing on the Brisbane River and
marveled at its beauty. A site was fixed for a new town to be built
on the river, a few miles upstream, the chief justice wanted to name
it ‘Edenglassie’ but the name never stuck and the town became
known by the same name as the Brisbane River. Despite the fact that the new settlement had
plenty of water, it was decided to look around for a new port.
Redcliffe was too open to the weather and the ‘Amity’ almost came
to grief while at anchor, she had to ride out a storm, about four
miles offshore. Cleveland was looked at but after wading
through knee high mud at low tide, that thought was abandoned and the
decision was made to take the settlement to Brisbane, the move was
probably completed by the end of May 1825. A monument stands at Redcliffe to commemorate
Matthew Flinders, John Oxley, Lieutenant Henry Miller and the
convicts who opened up the City of Brisbane and the State of
Queensland.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: black; font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: red;"> </span>CONVICT RUNAWAYS</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"> IN THE BUSH</span><span style="color: black;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: black;">From the arrival of the first fleet onward, convicts ran from the harshness of life in the penal colonies, many were to die at the hands of the natives and others were killed by drowning or other forms of misadventure.</span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: black;">Although the list of convicts shown here is only a small number of those who did run away, it is enough to show the desperation and suffering of the men who would not be chained. Some of the convicts who escaped to the bush found it relatively easy to live among the natives. The lifestyle while rough, to say the least, was somewhat better [for some] than remaining at the penal settlements.<span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: 130%;">William Buckley [Murrangurk]</span> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>In 1802, a thirty two-year-old 6 ft 6 inch Englishman from Macclesfield, Cheshire, ran away from the failed first settlement at Port Phillip. Buckley absconded in company with a few other convicts [about seven in number] and went to live with the local aboriginals.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Buckley was a huge man who outlived the other convicts that escaped with him and he spent the next 33 years with natives near Indented Head, Victoria. He was originally charged with desertion and was given life in the Australian Colony. When he came in from the wild, he was given a pardon and a yearly wage of 75 pounds, for assisting to interpret the ways of the new Victorian colony to the local aboriginal tribes.<span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: 130%;">James Wilson [Bun-Bo-ee]</span> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>James Wilson was also a convict from the Sydney settlement; he served out his sentence but then went to live among the Hawksbury river natives, for some reason, he preferred the wild side of life. Wilson was adopted by an old woman that recognised him as her son whom she thought returned from the dead. He received the name Bun-Bo-ee from his adoptive tribe and lived with them for many years until explorers, who wanted to find a way across the Blue Mountains, approached him. Although this attempt was a failure, Wilson received plaudits for his work among the natives.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Barringtons History of New South Wales, shows the intolerance and stupidity of some authors of old. That work states that ‘Bun-Bo-ee only managed to stay with the natives in the first place because he made them think that he was a spirit of a man long dead and that he convinced the decrepit old woman that he was the real Bun-Bo-ee’. Barringtons History also stated that the very tribe he had lived with for so many years killed Wilson. They gave as a reason; ‘he had raped his old aboriginal mother'.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>This unworthy statement places that whole work in a very doubtful position. If the old lady were so ‘old and decrepit’, would it not be safe to assume that Wilson would have gone for a younger woman? It is very well known that tribal aboriginals at the time were very intelligent and that they had their superstitions just as the white world has theirs. Wilson may have died in an inter-tribal fight or due to illness but after having lived among them for many years, he certainly would have known what would prove dangerous for his well being. He knew only too well that Aboriginal law could be very harsh. Barringtons History perhaps decided that anyone who lived with natives must be evil and so came the comments.<span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: 130%;">Pamphlet, Parsons and Finnegan.</span> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Perhaps the most interesting place in Australia for convict runaways was Queensland; the tropical climate and its distant location from the main settlements gave convicts and castaways isolation for years from the European settlements and landholders that very slowly, settled the tropics.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>It is highly likely that one of the first men to live among the natives near Brisbane was also an intermediary between white and black, possibly aided escaping convicts to make a home among the wild tribes of Queensland. Thomas Pamphlet along with Parsons and Finnegan, had been part of a small timber-seeking group that had been caught in a storm near Sydney. Their boat was driven or drifted to a point near the Brisbane River where they made a landfall. Three of the original four men survived the storm and Pamphlet along with Finnegan and Parsons became the first white men to live along the Brisbane River. They found the Aboriginals joyful at having whites live among them for they were considered ghosts of departed relatives whom had returned to the tribe.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>For native women who had become widows, it became a wonderful way to regain family pride and to have a man to hunt and fish for her and her children. The esteem shown to her by other women of the tribe would have been boundless.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b> Pamphlet, after having been rescued from being cast away, was sentenced to seven years in the Moreton Bay settlement for larceny. He was one of the first convicts to be sent to that colony. As he already had a working knowledge of the language, he would have been very useful as an interpreter. He would have also been even more useful to those convicts, who did not want to remain in the harsh settlement commanded by the rather cruel commander, Patrick Logan.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>It is thought that each time a man wanted to escape, he would first gain tuition from Pamphlet on the way he could be recognised and also in some of the language. Once this was completed, the convict could run knowing that he had some chance of surviving among the natives.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>That this convict ‘underground’ existed is more than a possibility, in truth it is a high probability for almost all of the runaways ran north and not south or west, almost all of them remained with the Kabi Kabi tribe or one of their sub-groups. The convicts of the Moreton Bay settlement were able to escape with ease from their captors and were able to go among the natives and adapt to the lifestyle in a very short space of time.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Although history has told us little in the way of reality regarding the effect that Pamphlet had upon prisoners at Moreton Bay, especially from the convict side. We can see that even though they were poorly educated and were convicts, they were no less able to create a better way of life when they could no longer bear up to the cruelty administered by Logan.</b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b> </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b>John Baker –Runaway.</b></span><span style="color: black;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The convict ship ‘Malabar’ arrived in Sydney in 1821, aboard her was a 21-year-old convict, John Baker. He was sentenced to life for theft and upon arriving in Sydney, he was re-assigned to the Moreton Bay settlement at which place he arrived in 1825.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Baker was unhappy with his sentence and resolved to make his break in January 1826, he probably received intelligence reports from Thomas Pamphlet as to which way he should go and what to do in the case of running into the local tribesmen.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>He wandered for many days along the banks of the Brisbane River until finally he was met by members of the Lockyer Valley tribe, who gave him food. While eating with them, an old woman ran forward and calling out, ‘Boraltchou’! ‘Boraltchou’! which Baker repeated back to her, he was soon to understand that the woman had claimed him as her son returned from the dead and she had called him by name. The simple act of repeating the word had given Baker an instant family and safety for as long as he needed it.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>John Baker began his life roaming up and down the Lockyer Valley with his adoptive tribe, he became the first white man to visit the Gatton and Laidley areas and to wander the famous Darling Downs many years before its discoverer, John Cunningham, arrived on the scene.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>On the 4<sup>th</sup> of August 1840, John Baker walked back into the settlement and gave himself up to the Government officials. In November of that same year, he was made scout for Commandant Gorman whom Baker took through Gorman's Gap and up into the ranges to the Darling Downs.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Baker was pardoned and for many years, he worked as a scout, interpreter and advisor, his tribe were unable to accept the incursion of the many settlers who began taking over the Lockyer Valley and without his influence among them, terrorised the new arrivals. This continued until the natives were all finally exterminated.</b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b> </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b>John Graham--Runaway</b></span><span style="color: black;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>On the 14<sup>th</sup> of July 1827, John Graham escaped from Moreton Bay Penal Settlement and headed north toward the Glass House Mountains. He continued on to the north after finding no help forthcoming from aborigines until he arrived in the Noosa district, roughly 100 miles from the new colony.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>He fell in with the Kabi Kabi people who inhabited the area and was recognised as the dead husband of a tribeswoman named Mamba. Her husband had been known as Moilow and this was the name given to John Graham on his joining with the tribe. Her two sons, Murrowdooling and Caravanti also agreed that this was indeed the returning spirit of their dead father and they readily accepted him as such.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Graham learned the language quickly and for the next six and a half years, he lived and hunted with the natives of the Tewantin and Maroochydore tribes, providing for his new family and keeping well away from any whites that might come exploring.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>There were of course, other runaways in the bush at that time and he undoubtedly came into contact with them from time to time. There was perhaps even a help situation for those who chose to escape for it seemed rather easy for the men who did run away, to gain entry to the tribes outside of the penal settlement.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Graham's wife Mamba, died and this probably gave him reason to want to go back to civilisation, he waited until his sentence had expired before heading to Brisbane where he gave himself up. He did in fact arrive three days after the expiry of his sentence.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>John Graham did not count on new laws being made, for in 1830, a law had been passed that any absconder would have to serve out the remainder of his sentence, no matter when he gave himself up. In November 1833, Graham was sentenced to serve out the rest of his time.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>In August 1836, came news that a white woman and some white men were stranded among the blacks near Noosa, which is about 100 miles north of Brisbane. Graham quickly volunteered to accompany the rescue party, telling the authorities that he knew exactly where the whites were being held.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Graham was able to rescue four of the survivors from the vessel ‘Stirling Castle’ although his sole efforts in the rescue are in doubt, he did in fact help the whites to regain civilisation and for that he received a twenty-pound reward and his freedom. [See Eliza Fraser story in “Castaways on wild shores”]</b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b> </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b>Samuel Derrington, runaway</b></span><span style="color: black;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>On the 22<sup>nd</sup> of December 1827, another convict escaped the Moreton Bay penal colony. Samuel Derrington left Brisbane some five months after John Graham and like him, headed north to Toorbul then on to Caloundra and into Kabi Kabi territory.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>By 1829, he had arrived at the Burnett river, having drifted from tribe to tribe learning the language and trying to be recognised as a returning spirit by one of the tribal families, he finally settled with a tribal group at Tin Can Bay.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Derrington found himself able to live quietly with the aborigines. He kept well away from any contact with white settlers, in an effort to see out his sentence in the bush. He soon developed into a good hunter and was initiated into the tribal ways and customs. He provided for himself and his new family as he went. Derrington spent 9 years with the Burnett River blacks who gave him the name “Tursi”, I believe that this man is the “Tallbois” that met with the mate of the ‘Stirling Castle’, John Baxter who was the 2<sup>nd</sup> mate of the ‘Stirling Castle’ [see Eliza Fraser story] which vessel had been wrecked in 1836.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Samuel Derrington must have met or at least, seen Eliza Fraser [who was also on the ‘Stirling Castle’] when she was brought to Tin Can Bay, for soon after she was rescued, he headed back to the penal colony. Derrington had ran away because he had hated his treatment at the penal colony and it can only be surmised that he had hoped to be granted an end to his sentence for having helped the white woman to get back to civilization.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>In early 1837, Derrington gave himself up telling the officials that he too, had been involved in the rescue of the white woman. He was not believed and was probably made to serve out his sentence. If Samuel Derrington did meet Eliza Fraser, she did not mention it to anyone except for one reference to “that other white man” about whom she was extremely angry.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>It is almost impossible to believe that this man would put so much at risk if he had no contact with the survivors of the wreck, there was no reason for him to give himself up, unless he thought that he had a credible story to offer. Derrington was probably not the white man with whom Eliza Fraser was angry, this is reserved for our next convict escapee. Eliza Fraser was already headed back to England when Derrington turned himself in. It is highly probable that the convict runaways always had contact with the settlement through the natives who lived nearby. They were able to converse with the Kabi people and any information required from the settlement, would have been easy to procure via the bush telegraph.</b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b> </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b>David Bracewell Runaway.</b></span><span style="color: black;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>David Bracewell was an enigma, he also, of the several escaped convicts in Queensland, can lay claim to the rescue of Eliza Fraser. Bracewell absconded from the Moreton Bay settlement on the 8<sup>th</sup> of February 1831; he went north along the coast until he reached a tribe of aborigines, who were known as the Eumundi people.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Although it was only about 100 miles north and a little west of Moreton Bay, it was a good place for Bracewell as the Eumundi were a fierce group who were ruled by a tough old elder named Huon Mundi. Bracewell was given the name Turrawandi [Wandi] by that tribe and he lived with them for the next five years without interference from the settlement. When found some time later by timber seekers, Bracewell told them how he had rescued Eliza Fraser from the tribe who lived in the Tin Can Bay region about 50 miles further north. This area also had its resident ‘ghost’, Samuel Derrington, who had resided there for nine years. It is thought that he requested that the woman be brought to Tin Can Bay so that he could talk to her in the spirit language. His aboriginal name is thought to have been ‘Tursi’ or maybe he was the ‘Tallboi’ whom John Baxter met on Fraser Island. Bracewell also wanted a look at the white woman so he went to Tin Can Bay and during the night, he managed to sneak her away while the others were pre-occupied with a corroboree [dance]. Bracewell stated that he brought her to ‘Wa Wa’ [place of the crow] near Lake Cootharaba and then into the main camp of the Eumundi tribe. It is believed that Bracewell forced himself on Mrs. Fraser while bringing her back to his camp at Eumundi. He probably intended taking her back to the settlement, hoping that his sentence might be dismissed but his need to have the white woman must have been too intense. He later asked her to speak well for him when she got back to Brisbane but she angrily refused. That ended his chance of returning to freedom and civilisation.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Her concern that she was pregnant again, so soon after childbirth, gives rise to the fact that she was sexually active in the latter part of her stay among the aborigines. She asked the doctor about this only about two weeks later. This makes one suspicious of her sexuality; she had three previous full-term pregnancies and would have well known the symptoms. Eliza had lost her newborn some seven or eight weeks prior to her arrival in Brisbane and it was perhaps only because of the slight possibility, that she was concerned. But why was she so concerned after a one-time stand with Bracewell [of this fact we are unsure]. She had so little time with the men of the Kabi tribe and the only two possible white contacts are Derrington and Bracewell, both of whom she met in the last two days of her five-week sojourn among the natives.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>David Bracewell was to remain with the Eumundi tribe for over eleven years. Andrew Petrie and Henry Stuart Russell at Noosa Heads found him in 1842, where he told them his story. When he had finished, they convinced him to come in from the wild. The penal settlement was no more and he would probably be made a free man. A strange point to the story is that Samuel Derrington immediately went to Moreton Bay, after Mrs. Fraser had left Brisbane in early 1837. He gave himself up to the officials, hoping to be rewarded for assisting in her safe return. The officials disregarded this story, and Derrington suffered the consequences. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>In turn, Bracewell was so afraid that Mrs. Fraser had made him look bad, that he remained with the aboigines for another 6 years. This points rather strongly to him having forced himself upon her, whilst travelling back from Tin Can Bay to Eumundi. Why did the officials disregard Derrington’s story? Simple: John Graham. He would and did not want anyone sharing in the rescue, he excluded all others and claimed that he alone rescued the woman. Whilst wanting his own freedom and with all the men who accompanied the rescue party on his side, the officials had no choice but to believe he had acted alone in her rescue.</b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b> </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b>James Davis Runaway</b></span><span style="color: black;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Born in Glasgow in 1814, James Davis was a tough looking, freckled, sandy haired, grey-eyed lad who was found guilty of stealing half a crown [25 cents] from a church collection box. He was sentenced to seven years and was transported to Australia.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>He must have misbehaved while at the main Colony, for he was given three years on top of that which remained of his original sentence and was then sent to Moreton Bay to serve out his time. This colony was deemed the place to send misfits, as the tropics would soon quiet them. On the 30<sup>th</sup> of March 1829, he ran away from the penal colony at Brisbane and, like the runaways before him, headed north to Kabi Kabi country He made his way to Toorbul and then onward to the tribes where other runaways had made their homes. These men believed it better, to stay well apart, so as to have a much better chance of keeping clear of the soldiers from the settlement.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>When Davis escaped, he was forced to keep going north due to John Graham, Samuel Derrington and David Bracewell already being entrenched around the southern Wide Bay district. He arrived at the tribal area of the Ginginburra people who traversed a region that ran from Gympie in the south, almost to Rockhampton in the north. This was an area that was nearly 600 Kilometres and Davis is said to have walked that distance many times with his tribe. His adoptive father ‘Pamby Pamby’ gave James Davis the name Durramboi, after his dead son whom Pamby Pamby thought had returned. For many years, Davis was a well-respected member of the Ginginburra tribe; his name meant Kangaroo Rat, which was usually given to those who were small and fleet of foot. He certainly lived up to this; especially where any contact with whites was concerned. About 1842, David Bracewell was taken as a guide to an area north of Gympie and while searching for timber, he made contact with Davis who thought he had brought soldiers from the settlement.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>This angered Davis who grabbed his spears and shouted a war challenge at Bracewell who immediately backed off and explained to Davis that he could come in from the bush for a pardon had been issued to all convicts as the penal colony had been discontinued. Davis accepted the welcome news and he too, returned to the settlement now known as Brisbane. He met and married a white woman and slowly became a respected member of the fledgling Society. He and his new wife opened a small Crockery shop in George Street, through smart use of his past life; he proceeded to increase his fortune. James Davis never disregarded his Aboriginal life and he received regular visits from his mixed race son who obviously loved his father very much. Davis is said to have married twice to white women before his own death. He left 10,000 pounds to the Brisbane Hospital and can be considered one of its founders. His portrait still proudly resides in the Royal Brisbane Hospital as a mark of respect to the ex convict; he died in Brisbane in 1889, aged about 75 years. James Davis also featured very strongly in the Barbara Crawford Thompson saga. [See Castaways or above advertisement]<span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: 130%;">JOHN FAHEY NEW SOUTH WALES RUNAWAY.</span> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>John Fahey was one of the last convicts to abscond from the authorities and he made his escape from Grose’s Farm where he was serving out his sentence. His master was obviously a hard taskmaster, for while working on the farm, which was situated at Monaro, New South Wales, he made his first attempt at absconding on the 6<sup>th</sup> of March 1840. He was recaptured and then waited for over a year, before absconding again on the 11<sup>th</sup> of November 1841. He was again recaptured. He finally he got clear away on the 24<sup>th</sup> of April, 1842, making his way northward to the Blackall range, where he spent time in the Bunya Mountains. Here food was plentiful in and it was here that he finally met with his adoptive tribe. He and his tribe ranged over the same areas as Graham, Bracewell, Derrington and Davis. For over eleven years he enjoyed the protection of his tribe, who helped him to avoid capture on many occasions. In late December 1854, Lieutenant Bligh came upon him unexpectedly. John Fahey was immediately captured and as Bligh’s men held him, Fahey’s tribe began violently resisting the white men and for a time, it looked as if Bligh and his men would be beaten off. However, Fahey seemed glad to surrender and gave himself up without a very hard struggle. The day of the Mothervane [ghost] and the Dokkai [white aborigine] had gone, the natives no longer believed that these were the ghosts of their departed loved ones. Soon, the settlers no longer needed the convict escapees to act as guide or interpreter and the black wars began. All friends of the aborigines were suspect, perhaps with good reason, or because of the killing methods the white settlers were employing, the escapees went in fear of their own lives from members of the tribes with whom they resided. When Fahey returned to the settlement, he was given one year working on the chain gangs. It is from here that he disappears into history.</b></span><span style="color: black;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><b>Summation.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>That the convicts who escaped from the penal colonies had, in Queensland at least, an underground network that afforded assistance to those who wished to escape, is undoubted. They were able to keep clear of the officials with ease and although they were not supposed to have knowledge of the Aboriginal language, they knew how to respond, so as to survive among them. Only one escaped convict appears to have died at the hands of aborigine's, with whom he had begun to live. Only some form of schooling in the language and native ways would have helped the escapees survive the rigours of tribal life.James Davis and David Bracewell were believed to have taken part in revenge attacks on a farm near Kilkoy owned by a man named McKenzie who is believed to have ordered his shepherds to give the local natives flour laced with the Arsenic.McKenzie then left the farm and headed for Brisbane and his shepherds distributed flour to a tribe of about 200 blacks. The natives were happy with their bags of flour and made off with them to their camp where they made up a form of bread. As the younger and stronger men were away hunting, the old, the very young and the women, were the ones to suffer and seventy [according to Official reports] old men, women and children died agonising deaths.Although it is unproven that Mr. McKenzie actually ordered the distribution of the poisoned flour. The fact remains that as owner of the station on which the natives were murdered and as employer of the men who were the distributors of death. Absolute responsibility for the death of so many women, children and aged persons, is and will always remain his.This event was so despised by the natives that a large group of warriors from all over the Wide Bay district went to Kilcoy and captured the two shepherds who worked for Mr. McKenzie’s farm.The shepherds were slaughtered on the spot and it is believed that Davis and Bracewell were with the angry tribesmen when the two men were killed.</b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b> </b></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b>THE JOINING OF LAZARUS HOWLETT AND SARAH COPLEY</b></span><span style="color: black;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>To understand why people were convicted, in the greater number of cases, of such petty crimes and why they were given such heavy sentences, one must understand that England needed to control the southern latitudes to enable her to maintain control of the wealth gained from the East Indies. To do this, England had to have British citizens in position on a full time basis.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Australia had all the attributes required for a base in the Southern Hemisphere and it also had the world’s premier deep-water port. Its landmass was so large that control of both the South Pacific and Indian oceans would be easily accomplished. A sentence of less than the seven years meted out for even the paltriest reason would not be sufficient and would be too costly when the prisoners had to be returned.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Perhaps one of the better examples of the way, in which many convicts were first exported and then shaped into new settlers for a new continent, can be found in the tale of Lazarus Howlett and Sarah Copley.</b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b>Lazarus Howlett</b></span><span style="color: black;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Howlett was born to a farming family in 1800 and by the time he was 27 years old, had married and begun raising two children. He was employed as a farm hand and was, by later reports, a ‘good and well behaved fellow’. In July 1827, he was arrested by the Suffolk Town police and charged with Grand Larceny. He was brought to trial on the 24<sup>th</sup> of July 1827 at the Ipswich sessions and his crime was one of stealing. He is alleged to have stolen one shaving brush from the stable of the farm at which he was employed, Lazarus Howlett was sentenced to 7 years transportation to the Australian Colony. His wife and children were left behind at the farm. Howlett was given a gaol report and he was described thus:<span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: 130%;">Status;</span> Married with 2 children. Wife: Lucy Howlett. Trade: Farmer-Ploughman. Age: 27 years. Height: 5ft 7inches. Complexion: Dark and ruddy. Head: Small. Hair: Dark brown. Whiskers. Small Visage: Oval. Forehead: Low. Eyebrows: Dark, arched and black. Eyes: Dark brown. Nose: Large, straight and thin. Mouth: Small. Chin: Narrow and pointed. Remarks: Ears pierced, scar on first knuckle of ring finger, left hand. Native of: Holbrook, Suffolk.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Howlett arrived at Hobart aboard the vessel ‘Woodford’ on the 25<sup>th</sup> of August 1828 and was quickly settled into the way of the Tasmanian prison system. Like England, the rather overbearingly strict regimen placed on the lower classes by the ruling aristocracy was also in place in the new colonies. For what are now classed as irrelevant crimes, men were subjected to ridiculous, if they had not been so severe, stupidly childish punishments. Lazarus Howlett was assigned to a master in the trade he knew, farming. He was quickly on report for suspicion of having stolen a piece of bark belonging to his master, Mr. J. Petchey, on the 31<sup>st</sup> of March, 1831.There was no prosecution for the crime as there was no real evidence, perhaps the tree grew it back. On the 6<sup>th</sup> of February 1832, he was severely reprimanded for disobedience when he failed to take his master's horse to the farm when he was ordered to do so. On The 4th of May 1832, while assigned to a Mr. Jellicoe, Constable Smith of the local police charged him for being drunk at Kangaroo Point, Tasmania. The charge was dismissed when his overseer defended his character for sobriety. On the 13<sup>th</sup> of March 1834, he was returned to the Public Works department and he returned to his earlier employment on the road gangs at Constitution Hill. He was ordered not to be re-assigned to the Richmond or Campbelltown Districts due to his neglect of duty in making way or allowing his masters property to be stolen and with having made bad connections in the Richmond district. Lazarus Howlett received his free certificate, No 215 in 1834 after completion of his six months on the road gang. On the 31<sup>st</sup> of December 1836, Howlett applied to the Lieutenant Governor for the right to marry Sarah Copley, a convict. Permission was granted and they were married by Banns in St Luke’s Church of England in Richmond, Tasmania.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Lazarus Howlett was listed in the Census for the Richmond district in 1842, as living in a wooden house at Native Corners, Richmond. It also showed that residing with him, were two male children under the age of two years and one married female and two single females aged between 22 years and 45 years.</b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;"><b>Sarah Copley</b></span><span style="color: black;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Sarah Copley was a single housemaid and needlewoman by trade and was reported to be of good behavior when she arrived in Hobart. She was tried at Somerset Quarter Sessions on the 23<sup>rd</sup> of March 1835 for receiving stolen goods [chickens] and was sentenced to 7 years transportation along with her sister, Mary who was also transported at the same time.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Sarah Copley arrived at Hobart aboard the vessel ‘Hector’ on the 20<sup>th</sup> of October 1835. She committed no Colonial offences and was reported by the gaol surgeon to be very well conducted. Her personal report runs: Height 5ft 1 and ¾ inches. Age 21 years. Complexion: Fair. Head: Small and oval. Hair: Dark brown. Eyes: Blue. Visage: Small. Forehead: High and round. Nose: Small. Mouth: Wide. Chin: Small. Freckled face. Native of Ponsford, Somerset. She received her ticket of leave on the 12<sup>th</sup> of November 1839 and her free certificate number 567 in 1843. The Howlett's must have had a happy life in the new settlement as free persons. They went on to have eleven children over the twenty-year period 1838-1858. They had 7 male and 4 female children of whom, 5 remained in Tasmania and 6 settled in Victoria.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The two oldest sons, Charles and John Howlett were having financial problems at one stage of their farming careers so they gave themselves a helping hand by constructing a Still for making Spirits from Potatoes. Lazarus got back into the act by over drinking at the Richmond Hotel one evening and he began bragging that his sons made better Whisky than the Hotel was selling. This had a very bad effect for making Spirits was illegal and the boys had to decamp the still and after some trying times, John went to join two of his brothers who had left for Victoria.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>The Howlett family went on to be very large and made up of working peoples in both Tasmania and Victoria. [As reported by Mr. Ted and Ina Howlett in 1979.] This report is not an unusual one, far be-it from that. In fact, there were hundreds just like this but that is why I have shown how a settlement system could be arranged among a people who are traditionally tied to their homeland.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><b>Britain supplied peoples from both England and Ireland from the only way it could gain the manpower required the prison system. It is obvious that many thousands of people were fraudulently sent to the penal colonies on trumped up charges that were done so that the required personnel could be transported quickly enough to develop a settlement in the southern hemisphere before any other seapower [i.e.; France] could do so. Just as America was populated and settled, so too was Australia but one must feel for poor Lucy Howlett and her two small children left behind in England without husband or father. I wonder do the descendants of Lucy and Lazarus know what happened to their great grandparents?</b></span></div>

<div style="color: black;">
<span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">All vessels mentioned within the main register are the better known vessels that visited Australian ports. New Zealand’s own register is added as a follow on and a secondary register of lesser know ships should give the researcher a good chance of finding the vessel required.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">
<span style="font-size: 130%;">* Research Tips: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">Most city libraries have relatively complete passenger lists for ships to the colonies. To make sure that you have the correct vessel, check the arrival dates with your local newspaper of the period, a cross reference like this will usually give you the Captain, Tonnage, Owner and other details that will give proof of your family ship. If a ship is proving hard to find, it must be remembered that not all vessels sailing were registered with Lloyds.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">Many ships were left unregistered while in dry dock, under repair or while in temporary retirement. It is therefore important to have a search span of at least four years each side of the year you have been given as a sailing date. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">Lloyds register may have already been published for that year and your ship may not have been listed due to late registration. Many other vessels were fully retired as hulks and then for one voyage only, were brought out of retirement and on their return, they went back to being a hulk. So, finding a ship is not always easy and it can be frustrating to say the least. This reference has been prepared in the hope that many such problems are eradicated.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">
<span style="font-size: 130%;">Please remember that many people came to Australia on vessels so small that one would have second thoughts about going round the bay rather than halfway round the world.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">If this work does not contain the vessel you seek, try at your city library. Lloyd’s list may have a register of the vessel and that will tell you all you need to know about vessel dimensions. If you know the date of sailing from Britain, you may also see advertisements in the ‘Times’ newspaper. Your librarian will assist you to find the details.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 130%;">*Legend</span><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: black;">;</span> A notation of the trade in which each vessel predominantly worked, has been shown along with the history and other relevant data and is registered in [brackets]. This does not mean, that the vessel did not enter into other trades. If a ship cannot be found in the main register, the index will indicate if it is registered in the Tea, Wool or New Zealand passenger trades.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">For those seeking image representation of a particular vessel, inquiries should be made with the British Maritime Museum or to local Maritime museums or libraries.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">‘Flogging the Dead Horse’</span><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> </span>Ceremony for sailors who, on joining a ship, borrowed money against their first months wages. At the end of the first month at sea, sailors were considered to have finished ‘flogging the dead horse’ and were back earning money. It was usual for seamen to borrow so as to buy the needed shaving materials, combs and knives etc for their time at sea.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-size: large;">* Research Tips: </span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">When checking for the vessel, in which you are interested, try to have data from other sources. Tonnage of a vessel cannot be classed as completely reliable as there was more than one form of tonnage registered. Tons Register, Tons burthen and American Tonnage are all-different. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">The best comparisons can be made by cross researching your local newspaper of the required period, with the passenger lists that most major libraries hold. If you know in which port your family arrived, the local library will have the lists you require.</span><br />

She made the mistake of keeping the South Head light on the starboard side and the ship took her head into the hollow in the cliffs, now known as the ‘Gap’ and the ship was totally wrecked. Only one man survived the disaster, a 23-year-old able seaman named James Johnson. This wreck is still remembered today on a plaque above the site. James Johnson went on to become a harbour man at Newcastle, New South Wales where he was involved in another wreck. [Passenger Liner]</span></div>

Her complement was 71 crew, 12 marines and 11 officers and others. Cook recruited men of experience for the voyage, Robert Molyneux as Master and Richard Pickersgill as Masters mate. Third Lieutenant John Gore was in charge of the marines and Francis Wilkinson who was made masters mate en-route. The 2</span><span style="font-size: 130%;"><sup>nd</sup></span><span style="font-size: 130%;"> Lieutenant was Zachary Hicks and Surgeon William Monkhouse made up his close group of officials. Captain Cook’s wife probably had something to do with her 16-year-old cousin, Isaac Smith being given the post of able seaman. He must have behaved well, for he made it to midshipman before the end of the voyage and rose to the position of Rear Admiral in later years.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 130%;">Once the Astronomical mission was achieved, ‘Endeavour’ continued her voyage of discovery in the southern latitudes and he completely charted the islands of New Zealand a job that took over 6 months to complete. He then sailed to the West and discovered the East Coast of Australia on the 19</span><span style="font-size: 130%;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="font-size: 130%;"> of April 1770. He sailed along the coast northward and discovered the Great Barrier Reef, which he successfully navigated and then sailed into the Coral Sea and Torres Strait with only one grounding on the Barrier reef. Repairs were carried out near the present day town of Cooktown in northern Queensland. The ‘Endeavour’ sailed back to England and into history, she was probably hulked at her home port of Whitby or perhaps spent a few more years lugging coal to the Scandinavians. What ever became of her though is of little consequence, she has gone on to be one of the most well known vessels in colonial history. [Collier and Exploration vessel.]</span></div>

Built by W Patterson of the Great Western Steamship Company who were insolvent when she was offered up for sale to Gibbs, Bright and Co. They bought her in 1850 after she had been repaired and refitted due to an accident in which she ran aground in Dundrum Bay, Ireland in 1846. She was refloated in 1847 and fitted with new engines and boilers. The boilers ran across the ship and her original six masts were reduced to four to make way for her two new funnels which stood side by side. She was given a long deckhouse so that she could carry more passengers on the Australian run for the gold rush that was drawing more and more people to that part of the world. Her first voyage was to New York on a show run which was noted as her ‘running in’ trip. She left Liverpool on her first voyage to Australia on the 21</span><span style="font-size: 130%;"><sup>st</sup></span><span style="font-size: 130%;"> of August 1852 with 600 passengers and 1,000,000 pounds in Specie.

<div style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">
This vessel became one of the mysteries of the sea when in 1853 she lay in Melbourne, Australia with 63,390 ounces of gold dust aboard her. When about to sail, Melbourne detectives arrived and arrested two of her passengers in connection with a previous gold robbery. Although much gold dust was found in their luggage, it could not be proven that they were indeed the culprits. The ‘Madagascar’ was held in port while the court proceedings were finalized. She sailed with all her complement and passengers and disappeared forever.<br />
Many years later a New Zealand woman being on her deathbed gave the following story; She stated that she was hired as a nurse by one of the passengers and that during the voyage, the crew and some of the passengers mutinied. This event, according to her, took place in the South Atlantic Ocean and Captain Harris and his officers were murdered. Those who were not involved in the mutiny were put below except all the young women who, along with the gold, were put into the boats. The ship was then set ablaze and the passengers were left to burn. The woman went on to describe the fate of those who took to the boats. She stated that only one of the boats survived to reach the coast of Brazil, it contained six men and five young women, she being one of them. She also stated that when the boat attempted to land, it was overturned in the surf and that the gold dust was lost at that time. However, once on land, fever and the harshness of the climate etc took its toll and soon only two of the mutineers and the young nurse were all that remained alive. They eventually reached civilization and one of the men went his own way while the other was arrested in California for murder and hanged. It is unclear why this woman did not go to the authorities with her story and why she waited until she was dying before she would relate it. A certain Mrs. De Cartaret had arrived in Melbourne to meet her husband who had arrived some time previous and on her arrival, she bought a local newspaper only to read of her husband’s death. Fearing that she would be unable to care for her family alone in a new country, she booked passage aboard the ‘Madagascar’ and it may have been for that reason a nurse was required. What is certain, the ship was under threat before she sailed and it seems that enough gold and enough men were aboard to warrant such an extreme robbery. What really became of the thieves and the ship may remain forever a mystery but then again maybe one day a ship’s bell or wreckage may come up from the deep to tell us what really happened.

Of those on board, only four were experienced seamen, the rest of the crew were made up of men seeking adventure and gold. The voyage was doomed from the start, the brig had rotten masts and timbers but she eventually struck a reef off the North Queensland coast in February of 1872.

She was able to make her way toward Dungness Roads with all her pumps working. She dropped anchor off Dungness but she was making too much way when the anchors were let go and both her cables parted with the result that she had to be stood off to seaward.

‘ROANOKE’ Built 1892. Wood four-mast barque of 3559 Tons.Length; 311.2 ft. Breadth; app 49.2 ft. Depth; app 29.2 ft. She was the largest wood ship ever built by the Americans and she was a credit to her builder, Samuel Sewall who built her for his own use. Master; Captain J.Hamilton until 1898, then Captain J.A.Amesbury. She received a bad name because of Captain Hamilton’s bad habits in driving his men. When Captain Amesbury took her over it was not long before she had more problems, in 1901, she was bound for Honolulu with a load of coal when she was seen to have fire in her hold. Being a wood ship, it was seen prudent to run for the nearest land, which was Honolulu, some 2000 mils away. The crew fought the fire day and night using a steam engine and pump to keep the fire in some sort of control. The fire was eventually put out although the big ship suffered a great deal of damage. In 1904, she came into collision with the steamer ‘Llangibby’ and she was again badly damaged. She made her way to Rio Di Janiero and arrived there on the 19<sup>th</sup> of August 1904. She left Rio in December of that year and went to Melbourne and from there to New Caledonia. She caught fire whilst anchored at Noumea and burned until she sank on August 10<sup>th</sup> 1905.

Master; Captain Arundrup in 1875 then Captain Moffat in 1881, Captain Brown in 1884. Reg; Liverpool LSDR 15391. She traveled the world for many years until ending her days as a hulk in the Port River at Port Adelaide where she still rests. This wonderful little bark is evidence of the outstanding workmanship of the shipbuilders of the period. The ‘Santiago’ was placed on the Liverpool to Valparaiso run and was in that trade for 30 years. She had to sail round the ‘Horn’ come hell or high water and she did so with little trouble and a great deal of hard work for every year that she was in that trade. She also went to Australia and New Zealand on occasions and in 1901, she suffered some damage in storms and was sold by her owners to the Adelaide Steam and Tug Company for use as a lighter. They in turn sold her to the Adelaide Steamship Company for hulk use and she was retired to the North Arm of the Port River in Adelaide in or about 1945. She still rests there, quietly rusting away with the call of seabirds echoing off her hull. Perhaps the ghosts of her many crew still wander about her rusting hull. Perhaps they are wondering why the local authorities talk of bringing other old tall ships from far distant ports, while she lies ready to be brought back to life after the manner of the ‘James Craig’ ex ‘Clan McLeod’ in Sydney. One could not wish for a better or more valiant ship to grace the Port of Adelaide [General Carrier]</div>

‘SUCCESS’ Built 1840. Wood ship of 621 Tons. Length;117.3 ft. Breadth; 26.8 ft. ft. Depth; 22.5 ft. She was owned by Phillips and Co. Master; Captain Adam then Captain F.Stuart. Registered; London. She was an early emigrant ship that brought settlers and gold miners to Melbourne in 1851-52.She was deserted by her crew in Melbourne and they headed to the goldfields at Ballarat. The Victorian government turned her into a prison hulk after buying her and she stayed as such until 1858, when she was turned into a women’s prison. Some time later, she became a boys reformatory and finally she was given work as an explosives hulk. Then in the early 1870’s, she was sold again and her new owners turned her into a Museum due to the prison cells and equipment that still remained aboard her, she was also barque rigged during this period. The lock up cells had been used to keep the explosives safe from thieves while she was used as a hulk. Soon, the new owners claimed to one and all, that she had been one of the original convict ships and began collecting as much memorabilia as they could to make a good show of it. She was towed to Sydney in 1890 and went on show there until it was announced that she would sail to England for exhibition there. The residents of Kerosene Bay in Sydney did not agree that she should go to England and they scuttled her. She remained on he bottom for six months until the owners could raise and repair her. She then sailed off to Brisbane to go on show there for a short time until she sailed down to Hobart under tow for a showing in that town and then she left for Adelaide where she was again shown for a short period. She sailed from Semaphore jetty on the 30<sup>th</sup> of March 1895 and headed for England. She remained in England for some time until the Americans who also wanted to exhibit her in their country bought her. She was still going strong until the 4<sup>th</sup> of July 1946 when it is said that fireworks set her alight and burned her to the waterline. This vessel had an extraordinary career and shows the incredible strength some of these old wooden ships had. She was sunk three times and went aground twice in her time but it took fireworks to destroy the old ship.[General Carrier and Exhibition Ship]</div>

She ran into a Cyclone near Cape Bowling Green, North Queensland and was sunk in the heavy seas. It is thought that she may have developed engine trouble and attempted to drop anchor and ride out the Cyclone but the sea and the storm proved to tough and she went down with all hands. Some small amount of wreckage was found but none of the ships boats were found which leads one to surmise that perhaps she was trying to ride out the storm when a heavy sea swamped her. Perhaps she went over on her beam-ends leaving little or no chance for those aboard her. [Passenger vessel]</div>

‘YORK’ Built 1760. Wood ship of app 800 Tons. Length; app 155 ft. Breadth; app 32 ft. Depth; app 27 ft. Built for the East India Company and was a long lived vessel although part of her was almost lost to the deep. Around 1790, she was retired from duties on the East India run and her owner decided to strip her equipment and install it in a new vessel, the ‘Royal Captain’. The fittings were installed [including the bell from the ‘York’] in the new ship, which was owned by the same firm. The ‘Royal Captain’ was later wrecked on a reef on its homeward voyage from China and sank in deep water [3000 ft] in the South China Sea near the Philippines. The bell from the ‘York’ was one of the first items discovered by French divers who were investigating the reef after finding an anchor and cannon. The ‘York’ was retired to Deptford as a prison hulk for many convicts sent to Australia in the early years of that nations European history. The bell from the ‘York’ was recovered and this find was important in the history of Australia. The most exciting fact was the recovery of the bell is to be seen on a documentary, which proved to be totally absorbing for those who knew from whence the bell had come, once the name on the bell was revealed.

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">THE 1850'S </span></span> <br />
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">The new ship owners of note were James Baines and Co, [Blackball Line] James Beazley [Golden Line management], Fox [Fox Line] George Thompson [White Star Line]</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">Miller and Thompson [Golden Line] the Fernie Brothers [Red Cross Line], Shaw-Savill-Albion[Shaw-Savill-Albion line]. Gibbs Bright [they had a small partnership with James</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">Baines in the steamship trade] James Beazley was a Broker for the Golden line at this time he later bought the Thames and Mersey Line in the 1880’s. This purchase was made for his son and he renamed it the Australian Shipping Company. He gave the management of the newly named line to Gracie, Beazley and Co. </span> </div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">One should also remember that numerous ships were privately owned and were not members of any particular line and that they also brought thousands of emigrants to the colonies.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">When gold was discovered in Australia in 1851, shipping companies from all points of the compass were rushed by would be gold seekers. Crews, who also wished to get rich quick, were deserting the vessels that brought the diggers to Australia. Vessels were tied up in ports such as Melbourne and Geelong in Victoria, with no way to sail out due to crew desertions.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">
Bullion Carriers.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">The first ship to take gold back to England was the White Star liner, ‘Phoenician’, which carried almost 100,000 pounds worth of gold to Plymouth in 1852.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;"> </span> </div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">The ‘Albatross’ was next and she landed 50,000 pounds worth at Liverpool in August 1852.Her sister ship, ‘Eagle’ arrived at Kent with 150,000 ounces of Australian gold in late November 1852, this was a record shipment.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;"> </span> </div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">The following vessels are a supplementary list of passenger ships that brought emigrants to Australia and New Zealand, most had cabins and berths that could be dismantled and stored while a cargo of wool or grain took its place aboard the homeward bound ship. The list below is by no means complete and much detail is still required. Many of these vessels had little other connection with the colonies save for one or two voyages but I include them for those who may be searching for a family vessel which went to Australia or New Zealand.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: black;">Tips on family ship research</span></span>: </span><span style="color: #00000a;">Passenger lists are available at most State Libraries and as long as you know at which state, or port your forebears arrived, it should be a simple matter to find the name of the vessel that conveyed them. When you have found the ship on which your family arrived, re-check the passenger lists in your library and make sure of the ships name, captain, tonnage and if possible, the arrival date with the local newspaper of the period. This should give enough cross reference to make sure it is the correct vessel, if your vessel was a small brig or perhaps a once only visitor, it may never have had photographic or painted representation and may not have even been registered with Lloyds. Much enjoyment can be had from finding newspaper reports of your vessel arriving in Australia or New Zealand</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">You will note that many ships listed in the main register appear to be also listed below. These are for the most part, not the same ship as in the main register but are in fact older or younger vessels of the same name.</span><br />

<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: red;"> </span> </div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">Although the main register contains hundreds of vessels that brought emigrants to the colonies, many more made only a single voyage, were lost, were not popular due to wetness, or had an unpopular crew or master.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">The ships and captains that proved reliable were always much sought after and photographs, lithographs and paintings were soon in daily use on advertising brochures, calendars and newspapers.</span></div>

<span style="color: #00000a;">Shipping lines operating from the Blackwall docks were very well patronised due to these sturdy and well built little frigates being renowned for their safe voyages. They were extremely popular with sightseeing visitors when in port.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">Even though many of the masters of these ships made an effort to keep their passengers comfortable and well fed, life was certainly not all roses. Seasickness and ill health took its toll on the weaker passengers and also made life difficult for many of those who were fit and able.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">The Blackwall frigates of Wigram, Green and Dunbar were very popular before and during the gold rush days but a new breed of American clipper ship proved much faster than anything the British could build. Soon the American vessels were all the rage among British ship owners and buying reached fever pitch.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;"> </span> <span style="color: #00000a;">The new ships also found a new breed of ship owner, new names began to appear among the old and some of them went on to become the greatest passenger line owners ever known.</span></div>

She was built for George Thompson's ‘White Star’ line and was placed in the Australian trade. Basil Lubbock in his great books on the tall ship era, tells of how she lost her wheel during some heavy seas in 1873. All the spokes were broken away and only the nave of the wheel was left.

<span style="color: #00000a;">‘WHIRLWIND’ Built 1853. Wood ship of 1003 Tons. Built by J.O.Curtis at Medford, Mass, for the Black Ball Line. She was advertised in the Brisbane Courier Mail newspaper in early 1863 as being of 978 Tons register and as James Baines purchased a vessel known as ‘Whirlwind’ in 1862, perhaps the two vessels shown here are one and the same. The problem being that one is shown as being built in Dundee and the other in Massachusetts. The Baines vessel is registered as seen below in 1863/4 Lloyds List. It is possible that she remained on the American registry and not with Lloyds until Baines bought her in 1862. The problem remains that, if this was so, she was never placed on Lloyds by Baines and remained on the American register.</span></div>

Sold by Baines in 1866 This vessel has some confusion regarding its place of construction, It is probable that the two ‘Whirlwind’ vessels were the same ship as they are of pretty much the same weight etc. The 1853 ship is not registered with Lloyds at any year from 1854 to 1863. It is probable that because of the Baines infatuation with American built ships that this vessel, was mistakenly thought to have been built by at Medford, USA. </span> </div>

<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The material herewith published has been taken from the diary of Abijah Good his surviving family from Queensland supplied this material several years ago and only now has the right venue been found to honor this settler family. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Abijah and his wife and children left Coventry, England with only their clothing and a little money in the hope of making a new life in Australia; this is his story of the voyage from London to Rockhampton, Queensland</span><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"> and a description of how his life in the Australian bush began. The diary [for the most part] has not been changed an diction has been kept to it's original where possible.</span></span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">February 28</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> 1863.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">We left Coventry at nine of the o’clock and proceeded to the chalk farm, we then changed train and went to Stepney where we changed train again and went to Blackwall. The ship ‘Belfapore’* [this is a mistake, the ship is the "Beejapore"] was lying in the East India Dock. The agent then took us to the side of the ship and then left us to our fate, this was about four o’clock in the afternoon. There was about two hundred other emigrants going on board the same afternoon, so great confusion prevailed in all parts of the ship. The agent shewed us across the yard where we were to receive our outfit. I made an application and received a suit of clothes for each of us of very middling quality. I also received four small blankets and four mattresses, four large tin bottles for holding water, four tin washbasins, four tin drinking cans [panikens], four knives and four forks, four tin plates and nine pounds of soap. I likewise received one pair of boots for each of us of the very worst quality and two pair of sheets. I returned to the side of the ship where my wife and children were waiting and with the greatest difficulty, got them and the things they had given me on board.There was but one pair of narrow steps to reach the vessels deck and as men and women and children and boxes and everything had to be taken that way. You can plainly see it was no easy task to get women and children, to say nothing of the things they had given us, along a narrow plank and up steps very much like a ladder and straight upright. After some time, the berth clerk pointed to me and I applied to be shown my berth. He conducted me below along a narrow gallery and at last he pointed to a small place not much larger than a small pantry. Here he told me that my family and me would be allowed to share that with another man and his wife and family making twelve of us in the whole. I went in and immediately examined it and after being in there some time, my eyes had become accustomed to the light. I could distinguish that there were four shelves on which we were to sleep. Measuring it afterwards, I found this to be its utmost size: nine feet long by six feet wide and seven feet high up to the beams. There were two broad shelves along one side and two along the end, leaving a space of six feet by three feet to hold our boxes, food and other necessaries. One shelf along the side and one along the end I found to be twenty one inches from the floor and the other two were two feet above them leaving three feet three inches above the top one. The clerk told me that this was more room than the law allowed but the ships regulations allowed that I must occupy one of the top shelves and one of the bottom shelves and the other family must occupy the other two shelves. And so I hurried back on deck and brought my wife and children down to their new dwelling. I had three good sized boxes and my fellow berth mates two still larger boxes, so you may see that when we had got these five boxes and our tins and outfit in our berth, that there was not much room to spare. At about six o’clock, our luggage was brought to the side of the dock. They were put on the ground and we were made to pay to have them taken aboard and as many of us were without money, it was a serious difficulty. However it was over got and they were on deck at last and put below in the holds.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">March 1</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>st</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> 1863.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">About nine o’clock this morning breakfast was served out and I got five pieces of bread without butter and about a quart of the most foul tasting tea ever we tried. It was sweetened with an even fouler tasting sugar and was so bad we scarce could drink it. Dinner came as a surprise for we received one pound of good fresh beef for each of us making five pounds for me and my family besides plenty of good broth and potatoes.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">March 3</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>rd</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">, 1863.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The days were going past and were much the same as the day before. The crew of sailors came on board at an early hour and I was awakened by loud noises on deck so I got up and went on deck and found them making preparations for leaving the dock. The ship had dropped her moorings and was drifting across the dock toward the gate but we could not get out until the tide was up and this would not be till about one o’clock. A steam tug was attached to the ship and when the tide had reached its highest pitch, the steam tug was started. She dragged us while everyone of us emigrants was on deck and as she left the dock, a loud hurrah burst from everyone on board which was returned by at least one thousand people who had come to see us start. Some shed tears some laughed and others just wave their hats or handkerchiefs. We reached Gravesend at about four o’clock and anchored for the night.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">March 4</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">, 1863.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This was a busy day and the dock at Gravesend was crowded with gentlemen belonging to the Blackball line. A rope was placed across the deck and we were ordered to the other side. The doctor and the emigration officer took their stand and we had to give our names and answer certain questions. --- One man, a Lancashire man had a child ill with fever, found that the doctor would not pass him, so he and his wife and children were put ashore. But they promised him that if the child recovered within six weeks, he should be sent out in another ship – no sooner than this was over than the sailors began to get the anchor up. This takes a long time where the stream is deep but the sailors sing always when they are getting up the anchor and there is something interesting in it when you know that you have so many thousands of miles to go --- to me it seemed very affecting. By this time, the anchor was up and the steam tug came alongside and was attached to the ship by two very thick ropes and at dusk we started fairly on our journey. A journey which some of us should never see the end perhaps --- we stayed up long that night watching the different lighthouses as we passed them. Watching the river as it grew wider every few minutes and although there was no wind, we could plainly see the spray as the water was dashed against the side of our noble ship.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">As I stood alone that night, I could not help reflecting that it was a cruel destiny which had thus compelled us to leave our native land, our friends and our homes. To face we knew not what in a foreign land, for if I could have obtained the commonest necessaries of life at home, I would never have emigrated. To have taken a wife and children away from home and kindred. If a man may be excused for being downhearted and sad at a time like this---- it was with a heavy heart that I went down to my bunk.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">March 5</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> 1863.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">It was scarce daylight when I went on deck this morning and the scene was grand in the extreme, the sea was beautifully calm. On our left no land could be seen, while on our right about three miles distance we could plainly see the coast of Kent. --- About eight o’clock, we passed Deal and in half an hour we entered the straits of Dover and we saw the beautiful white cliffs called Dover Cliffs. The day continued beautifully calm and we enjoyed ourselves extremely.--- About four o’clock this afternoon seven of eight porpoises was seen at the side of the ship and one of the sailors told me we should have some wind before long. –-- I could not help laughing at the sailors superstition but I found he was right afterwards. At night we had the usual amount of singing and dancing on deck. It being a beautiful moonlight night at this time, it was very pleasant , [the first issue of provisions was given out today].</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">March 6</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> 1863.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">At four o’clock this morning I found I had no cause to laugh at the sailor. --- I was suddenly awoke by nearly being thrown out of bed. I put on my clothes and hurried on deck when I found that a sudden wind had struck the ship throwing her almost on her side. – The sea was running very high. The steam tug, which was about fifty yards in front dragging us along by the two strong ropes each of them fourteen inches in circumference, was lifted up above our heads [as it seemed into the clouds] one moment and the next was dashed far below us into the trough of the sea. The wind increased and the sea boiled and foamed, the ship rolled and it became impossible to sit or stand on deck. I became very sick and went below where I found everything in the greatest uproar, everyone was fearfully sick and at every roll of the ship, children were screaming as loud as they could. --- Bottles, tins, biscuits, bread, meat, soap and in fact, everything we had which was not secured was rolling about the ship. – The fittings of the berths were creaking as if the whole ship was coming to pieces. – Benches were overturned and as if to increase the confusion, the doors of the berths had no fastenings and were banging backward and forward beautifully. Boxes were knocking about and everything else that was moveable. To sit or stand or lie down with anything like comfort was out of the question --- all this while we were all too sick to help one another, will give you but a faint idea of an emigrant ship in rough weather. About four o’clock, a great shake was felt in all parts of the ship – I scrambled on deck, to ascertain the cause and found that the steam tug was some distance from the ship having broken both her lines one of them having carried away a portion of the bow of our ship. After some delay, we got our head into the wind and we were again connected to the steam tug. We again proceeded but in a short time the lines were again broken and with the wind increasing, the captain decided to run for the nearest port. At the time of speaking, I was lying on my bed in my berth [if indeed it could be called lying] being rolled with the ship into many different positions. One moment I was standing on my feet as the foot of the bed went down, the next, I was standing on my head for the foot of the bed had gone up. The next moment I was thrown against the wall of the berth which formed the side of our berth and in the next instance, I would have to use all my strength to prevent being thrown out the of the other side. Everyone was in the same state and you will not wonder that we were all very sick. I might also mention that the doctor and several of the sailors who had been at sea many times, were also very sick. Matters remained in this state when I heard someone cry out that we were close to land – I went on deck and found that we were not far from Weymouth in Dorsetshire and were running into Portland Bay. In about an hour we were safe behind the breakwater, the steam tug was stopped and once more we had the pleasure of standing upright on our legs. There were none of us in the best of spirits but we had our tea as comfortable as we could under the conditions and we were pleased that the captain had run into this place for a little rest. We had no singing or dancing tonight; I went to bed very glad of the chance of a little quiet.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The wind blew fiercely all the two following days and we remained safe at anchor. At about four o’clock on this day, the sailors began singing as they took up the anchor and the steam tug was attached and we were dragged out to sea. The rest of the day passed beautifully fine and the scenery along the coast was delightful, toward evening we had a large amount of singing and dancing and other games.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">March 10</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> 1863.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Early this morning, the wind rose to a fearful pitch and we were all awoke by the vessel rolling heavily. I went on deck soon after daylight and I found the sea was fearfully rough – the waves were higher than I had ever seen them at present and as the ship rolled, they seemed to reach the very clouds and threatened to rush across the ship. The sailors were very busy in all parts of the ship and the voice of the first mate could be heard giving orders above the howl of the wind and the roar of the sea. I became very sick and went below where the scene of the sixth of March was repeated but to a greater extent. --- A little while before twelve o’clock a shock was felt all over the ship and it was the tow lines which had broken again. --- The captain considered that the tug was of little use in such weather and he determined to send it back to London accordingly the sails were set and the tug was dispatched on its homeward journey --- at this time, we were about six or seven miles off Lands End. The weather continued about the same all this and the two following days. The women and children were nearly all done over, for want of something to eat for it was impossible to eat the hard biscuit and the salt meat, which was served out to us. I am sorry to say that the cooks were very disobliging fellows. However, on the third day the weather became calm and we became a great deal better. At about 10 o’clock at night we came in sight of the lighthouse at the entrance of Queenstown Harbor not more than five miles distance and we all expected to be awoken in the morning to find ourselves safe at anchor. In the morning we were all disappointed to find ourselves far out to sea again, the wind had became contrary during the night and driven us out. – The wind continued contrary and the sea more or less rough until the morning of the nineteenth, when we again sighted land. The sea was smooth and with a light breeze. We were making the harbour when two steam tugs came alongside and wanted to make a bargain with the captain to take us in for twenty pounds. The captain offered twelve and after a great deal of bantering, they agreed to take us in for thirteen pounds.--- In two hours we were entering the harbour and soon after passing in front of the town, a more beautiful sight I do not recollect to have seen. The white houses were scattered in the green hills and as they passed before us like a panorama it was a splendid scene. In half an hours time we were anchored in front of the principal part of the town about one hundred yards from the shore. The emigration officer came on board and gave the doctor orders to allow none of us to go on shore. But we were not to be done in that way and a great many went on shore without leave. The doctor finding that it would not do, to be too hard, began to give out passes to a few. Before we left, there was not one who wished to go, who did not go and some went as much as six or eight times.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This morning as soon as I had finished breakfast I applied to the doctor for a pass, it was given to me and I went on shore immediately. I was very much surprised to find so much poverty for although the town looked beautiful from the vessel's deck, when I was on shore and could take a nearer view, they appeared very wretched dwellings. They were all whitewashed or painted and this was the cause of the fine effect from a distance. But there were really some handsome dwellings scattered about on the hill outside of the town. The city of Cork is about sixteen miles from Queenstown but the fare by the steamboat is very low and feeling very much inclined to see Cork, I took the boat and proceeded about ten miles up the river and passed some pretty villas along the banks, we then landed and were taken By rail the remainder of the journey. The railway station is about half a mile from the centre of town but poverty is everywhere apparent among its inhabitants and ignorance is very common even among its shopkeepers and at one instance it took the united efforts of the whole male assistants of a large chemist shop to ascertain how much six ounces at tuppence halfpenny[two and a half cents] per ounce amounted to and what change I required out of half a crown [twenty five cents] and I found the same ignorance prevail in all shops where I had an occasion to call—we passed the day very agreeably in wandering about the town which we could not help admiring --- about six o’clock I returned to the railway station and proceeded to the place where we had landed in the morning and we found the steamboat waiting. On passing by our ship in the steamboat, we noticed a great deal of confusion on deck --- about eight o’clock we went on board and soon found the cause of the confusion, about four hundred and fifty Irish emigrants had been put on board during our absence and when we got on board we could scarcely push our way down to our berths and the confusion we saw in London was exceeded if possible. Some were crying, some were drinking whisky and others were singing while others were talking in a gibberish that the devil himself could not understand and while some were on their knees where a space large enough could be found, others were cursing and swearing right heartily. This continued till ten o’clock when they were ordered to their beds and the lights were put out.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This morning we had an uproar such as is seldom seen, I have heard the devil admires confusion and if that is the truth, he would be highly delighted to be here. Women and children are lying about the deck in all directions, women bare legged and bare headed are lying about more like cattle than anything else---we have the dandy Irishmen from Dublin or Cork and we have the uncouth Irishman from the mountains but the most amusing part to see is the various kinds of vessels they have taken to receive their food in and while I am writing, I can see several who are getting their teas from their tin chamber pots and in front of me is a man hard at work eating from a frying pan while his wife is doing the same from a saucepan but it is impossible for a man of very ordinary abilities to write a hundredth part or to convey the faintest idea of what it is like.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This is Sunday and after prayers were read, the emigration commissioner came on board and we had to pass before them as we did at Gravesend and all those who had paid their whole passage were given their land orders but there was none of us Coventry people. A very strange thing happened and is the talk all over the ship, on Friday, a Lancashire man went on shore with some friends of his and in the course of the day, they all proceeded to Cork and when they returned he wished to stay till the last train. They left him but he never returned and last night about ten o’clock, an Irishman came on board stating that he had bought the mans contract ticket and his box for a few shillings, the box itself was valued at ten pounds and the captain, thinking all was not right, had him put under arrest. They searched his pockets and found the Lancashire mans pocket book and several of his private letters, which he had when he left the ship. Search has been made but no tiding of him can be found and we begin to fear he has met with foul play.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The sailors commenced raising the anchors this morning and we all knew that we were about to sail---two females who had gone ashore yesterday returned at an early hour this morning but the doctor refused to allow them to come on board because they were three parts drunk. Their boxes was put on shore, they applied to the police, the police came on board and the doctor was compelled to take them---about nine o’clock, two steam tugs came along side and we once more proceeded on our journey—the hills and the streets of the town were crowded with people, many of whom had come to see last of their friends and as soon as we began to move, a real Irish howl was sent forth from the ship and it was quickly answered from the shore and for half an hour the howling and yelling was continued---hats and handkerchiefs were waved on the shore while on the deck they yelled and capered about in a manner that would have done credit to a lot of savages---no sooner were we fairly started than it was discovered that three men were on shore they were three who had come round from London, they had gone ashore without leave and now every one of us who knew them was full of wonder to know how they would get on board---when we were rather more than a mile from the shore we perceived a boat put off from the shore, we could see six men in it, four of whom were rowing with all their might, for some time they gained on the vessel but after a bit they came in front of the wind and they lost ground considerably---the men offered the rowers more money and they continued to follow the ship and when we were some miles from where we started, the captain caused the steam tug to be stopped and soon they were alongside, when it was found that one man was missing---he had a wife and one child aboard who were compelled to make the voyage without him but when the pilot left us the captain sent him a new contract ticket that he might proceed in the next ship going to Queensland---the weather was beautiful and the ship was very steady but we had not gone many miles before a great deal of sickness began to show itself amongst the Irish, they were lying on the deck in grand style and we expected to see some fine sport when the weather became rough.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Nothing of any consequence has occurred since we left Ireland as this may be read by those who</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">are about to emigrate, it may be well to mention and I will here state the amount of provisions</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">which are received on this voyage but it must be borne in mind that that according to an act of</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">parliament, the same amount are not received on a shorter voyage, thus, in a voyage to America,</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">not near the same amount would be received, for if a voyage is supposed to extend more than 84</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">days, the same quantity are given out that we receive but not in a shorter voyage. Each man</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">receives;</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Biscuit; 3 ½ pound. Butter; 4 Ounces</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Meat; 3 ¼ pound Raisins; 8 Ounces</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Peas; 1 Pound</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This is one week’s rations, children under twelve months receive nothing but all children under twelve receive half the allowance for a man or woman but if they are over twelve, they receive the rations in full.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Since we left Queenstown, everything has gone on very smoothly with the exception of a few petty disturbances caused by the weak mindedness of the doctor and of the inability of the Purser, for a more weak minded fool than the doctor has seldom lived and the Purser is but a boy without anything like management about him. They have made themselves laughing stocks all over the ship but the doctor was frightened almost out of what little sense he possesses the other night, for a letter was thrown into his cabin threatening to shoot him. He was so frightened that he has had men guarding his cabin every night since and this morning he has called a meeting of the passengers on deck and declared his intention to hold the office of doctor no longer, a man may lie and die but he will not help him. If he keeps his word, some dreadful things will be seen for there are many on board that are dreadfully dirty—but the captain seems a sensible man and no doubt he will take things in hand. The weather has been beautiful and we enjoy ourselves extremely with all kinds of games and amusements, on the 28</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of March, one of the passengers laid a wager that he would go aloft to the top of the foremast, he reached the top alright, followed by two sailors but no sooner did he wish to return than they bound him fast in the rigging nor would they let him go until he promised to give them a portion of the wager, it is a custom among them it seems.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">On the 30</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of March, I was looking over the ship's side when I saw a large fish come to the top of the water. I did not know what it was but the first mate put about a pound of pork on a very strong hook and threw it out, in less than a minute, he had it safely on the hook, it was pulled on deck and it turned out to be a shark, it showed us some fine antics when he was on deck until he was secured, he was cut open and its insides taken out, when it was loosened it surprised us all by capering about in an incredible manner. It measured five feet seven and a half inches, many fish of different kinds have been seen but the largest fish I have ever seen in my life was seen on the 31</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>st</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of March, we did not see its whole length but its body was quite as large as the body of a horse.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The doctor has taken office again this morning but I do not know that we are better off, for he is not up to much either as a doctor or as a passenger.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This morning an Irishman who had been ill ever since he had been on board, died about half past nine. He had numerous family and the ship rang with their cries and lamentations. Soon after dinner, his body was sewn up in a piece of sail. Weights and his bed were all sewn together in his blankets and about four o’clock it was carried by six sailors from the hospital to the upper deck.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">It was a solemn and impressive sight, there stood the priest in his white gown, his white hair shining in the bright blazing sunshine, the family of the corpse at its head and who's cries resounded through the whole ship. The priest wished to commence the service but could not be heard for the cries of the bereaved family, at last, in a stern voice he told them that he would not pray for the body unless they were all silent---in an instant, all were still, not a sound was heard except the rattle of the water at the ships side for we were speeding through the water at a brisk rate, the service was in Latin and we could not understand it.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">In a few minutes, the priest voice ceased and the boards on which the body was lying were raised and the body slipped forward, a splash was heard, the vessel sped on her way and we had one passenger the less. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Loud and long were the screams of anguish that burst from the friends of the deceased and then all was over, every one of us was on deck and every elevated position in the ship was mounted, some on the cook house, some on the poop, while the rigging looked more like trees crowded with crows than anything else.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">We are near the line [equator] and we are infernally hot. Men and women are in all kinds of costume and some are almost without any costume at all. Some have made trousers out of their sheets and have nothing on but them and their shirts. Between decks the heat is almost unbearable and at night it is almost impossible to be in the berths and many of us have not been in bed for a week and we are not likely to be in them for a week to come for there is scarcely any wind and we are proceeding very slowly—early this morning a vessel hove in sight and the first mate told the passengers that if they wanted to send letters, now was the time for the captain was going on the vessel. When it was about three miles distance from our ship, the boat was lowered, no sooner had the mate told them than a very animated scene presented itself, everyone commenced to write letters, some were writing on their knees, others on their beds, some on the hatchway steps and all seemed anxious to let their friends know that they were alive. About dinner time, the vessel came alongside and we could plainly see the crew watching us from the deck of their own ship—something was the matter with them for our doctor was sent for and we lay near each other for more than three hours. We were all on deck and when she came near, three very hearty cheers were sent up by the English passengers and a real Irish yell by the Irish.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This morning a very gratifying discovery was made that a great many of the passengers had the itch, seventeen females were placed in the hospital and a general inspection has taken place, a number were found to be infected. The vessel proved to be the ‘City of Mobile’ from Brisbane bound to London.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This morning soon after eight o’clock, another vessel came in sight, a boat came alongside and the vessel proved to be the ‘Sir John Lawrence from Australia to London. All letters that could be written while the ship was alongside was sent at the rate of sixpence each and in all probability they will reach England before those which we sent yesterday for she was a much finer vessel.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The weather is dreadfully hot and it seems to have heated the blood of a great many passengers, particularly the Irish. They are beginning to be very quarrelsome, today at dinnertime, a dispute arose between an Irishman and an Englishman, a fight ensued in which the captain and first mate were struck, After some time, the Irishman was dragged to the captains cabin, the rest of the Irish gathered in groups all over the deck threatening the English most dreadfully. I heard some swearing and threatening to raise of a sudden and murder the whole of the English passengers but if they had, they would not have found us unprepared, for I believe every Englishman was ready and at night many of us lay outside our berths fully prepared for the encounter, however, the night passed away very quiet—I had forgot to state that a child had died yesterday, at an early hour in the morning I was standing on deck , at about half past seven I saw a man come up the hatchway steps carrying a bundle in his arms, he walked to the side of the vessel and I noticed that the doctor was behind him with an open book in his hand, they stood about two minutes and then the man threw the bundle overboard,. I was much surprised to see him throw the bundle away and I inquired what it was that he had thrown away, I asked several but no-one seemed to know, at last I was told it was a funeral, there were at least 100 people on deck and scarcely anyone knew that it was a funeral, this will give some idea of the manner in which protestants bury their children at sea.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">On the night of the 17</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">, we passed the line, sailors and several of the petty officers got a great deal of drink and in fact, the drinking has been continued among the petty officers ever since yesterday. It was carried to a fearful pitch, almost all the officers were drinking and at night they quarreled and very strange things occurred, the third mate and another officer and one sailor were put in irons, the captain and the doctor were walking the deck throughout the night armed with pistols, threatening to shoot the first man who attempted any disturbance,----on the night of the 20</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">, another child died at about eight o’clock at night and about five minutes past ten, I was lying on the between decks when I saw a man pass with a large bundle, in less than a minute, I followed but the nights at the time were very dark and I could not see anything of the funeral. There were a few people on deck but no-one knew that a child was about to be buried, I had not been on deck more than two minutes when I heard a dull splash in the water and I knew it was the body of the child but there was neither priest nor mourners to be seen</span></b><br />

<span style="color: #00000a;"><b>Since I last added anything to this brief account of our voyage, death has been very busy among us. On the morning of the 24</b></span><b><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">, a man who had been ill from his first being on board, died. His body was carried on deck and placed in the port galleyway, a sail was hung at the entrance so that no-one would see it and in fact, since the first body was thrown overboard, everything has been done to render the proceedings as quiet and as secret as possible, no-one was allowed on the other side of the sail except the sail maker to sew the body up in blankets and his relations [the relations of the deceased I mean] and the doctor to read prayers, five or six of the passengers ascended the rigging and they were the only persons who knew the exact moment when the body was thrown overboard and there were scores of people on the deck who did not know that anything of the kind was taking place. On the morning of the 28</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">, a child eleven days old died about an hour after. We were all sitting at breakfast when we saw the sail maker pass with a large bundle in his arms, it was taken on deck and thrown overboard without even the parents being acquainted with what they were about to do.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;"> A few minutes past 12 o’clock this morning, death again came amongst us, this time it was a married woman who had catched the measles which at this time are very common amongst the children, in less than an hour, the body was thrown overboard. None of the passengers knew until we were told by the men who are appointed to watch the doctors cabin. I mentioned on the 11</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of April that owing to a threatening letter being thrown into the doctors cabin, men had been appointed to watch for he was weak minded enough to be afraid for his life. Soon after daylight this morning, something like a small cloud appeared on the distant horizon and for more than two hours there were differences of opinion among the passengers as to whether it was a cloud or land, at length, its unchanging form convinced us that it was land. It proved to be the island of Trinadad*, it is a small island but bold and rocky and barren without inhabitants and many hundreds of miles from the main land. About two o’clock, we passed within six or seven miles of it , the first land we had seen since we left Queenstown, everyone was on deck to see it *[certainly not Trinidad –Tobago but probably one of the Fernando De Noronha Islands off Brazil.

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This was a very bad day, the wind rose very high-the sea ran in tremendous waves knocking our noble ship unmercifully, the thunder rolled and it lightninged heavily while the rain came down in perfect torrents, there are about seven hundred and twenty of us and when we are all crowded between decks, it is to be seen that it is anything but comfortable –about ten o’clock in the morning a shock was felt which caused some dismay amongst the passengers and scores rushed on deck to see what was the matter, it proved to be one of the jib ropes which had been broken by the violence of the tempest, one of the sails was thrown slack in the wind causing a noise like thunder--at night the scene was beautifully grand as the thunder had ceased but the wind rushed through the rigging with a noise equal to it and the lightning lit up the sky making it as blue and as clear as it is in summertime at midday and although between flashes it is so dark that we could not tell one from the other, when the flashes did occur, we could have seen a pin lying on the deck.</span></b><br />

We found there was no danger and very soon we were snug in our berths again.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">At an early hour this morning, the wind reached a fearful pitch and before the sails could be taken in, the main staysail was torn to ribbons with a noise like thunder. It is very cold and foggy snow has fallen and we can not see many yards from the ship's side. The ship is rolling very unpleasantly, causing us to run against each other in a laughable manner.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This morning a child died, it died of the measles which are very bad amongst the children and the doctor is of no more use than an old washerwoman, in fact the captain comes round every morning to see who is ill and he seems to know more than the doctor for he gives him directions and states to him what he is to administer in each case and the captain says he would have done much better for us if we had no doctor. In about an hour after the child died, I saw the sail maker go into the hospital where the child lay still wearing the clothes in which it had died. He spread an old biscuit bag on the floor and taking the child from the bed he rolled it up clothes and all with two pieces of coal to sink it, over this he rolled another piece of bagging and tied all tight with some old rope—as soon this was done, he picked up the bundle and went straight on deck. I followed and saw him proceed along the deck until he reached the poop no sooner did he reach the poop than he threw the body over the rail into the sea, the captain and one sailor were the only persons I could see on the poop at the time and there were neither prayers nor rights of any kind performed—so you see, it will not do to go to sea to have a fuss made with you.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The mariner who first discovered the Cape of Good Hope called it the Cape of Storms and well he might, for we have had nothing else since we have been near it, it has been thought among the passengers that when the wind changed, it would be warmer and calmer but it changed in the night and we are sorely mistaken for the wind is much stronger and colder, the air is clear but the sea is in the wildest commotion—about eight o’clock this morning another child died entirely through the neglect of the doctor. It being the second belonging to the same parents, it was rolled and sewn up on the floor between decks and thrown overboard within an hour of its death but this time, prayers were read by the doctor who is neither more or less than a respectable blackguard.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This morning the wind is not so strong and the sea is calmer—there is a clear frosty air and the sun is shining beautifully, death, the king of terrors paid us another visit this morning, this time taking two children, one belonging to my fellow berth mate and I could safely swear that it was entirely through the neglect of the doctor. He never has given it anything of any kind. The bodies were thrown over in about half an hour and no prayers were read, this time the doctor being too lazy to leave his cabin.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Yesterday, the weather was calm though it was very cold but this morning the storm king has come again and it is so rough that prayers cannot be read nor mass held on deck it being Sunday and I may here mention that it has never been neglected before.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This morning, we have the storm king around us arrayed in all its terrors, the sea is in the wildest commotion, every few minutes, the waves are dashing over the ship half drowning those who are unfortunate enough to be on deck at the time—we are all crowded below and are nearly starved to death for there is not enough room for exercise if the rolling would allow it but, it is impossible—tons of water were dashed down the hatchways by the violence of sea making the between decks as uncomfortable as the upper deck. We were all glad to go to our berths at an early hour but there was no sleep for we could barely keep ourselves from being thrown out of bed by the rolling of the ship—about twelve o’clock in the night, we were all alarmed by a heavy sea breaking over the vessel and my fellow berth mate and two of his children were half drowned in their beds through the ventilator which was just over their bed not being properly fastened—a pleasant thing to walk about between decks in cold weather with your clothes dripping wet.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The weather has been fearfully stormy till about two o’clock this morning when the wind dropped and although it is not smooth, it is a great deal better—two other children died this morning, they were thrown over in a short tome and no prayers were read this time for the doctor was not up. He first murders them through neglecting them and then refuses to read prayers because it is too much trouble.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This morning a petition was sent to the captain demanding the dismissal of the cook and the baker, the provisions have been cooked in a very bad manner and they have never failed to insult the passengers when they have had the chance—the captain would not discharge them as they promised to behave better in the future—another child died tonight and was thrown over in about twenty minutes, before the body was cold and no prayer this time.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This morning the wind is not strong but there is a very heavy swell on the sea which has caused a fatal accident to one of the passengers, the vessel was rolling heavily and it was almost impossible o stand on deck, one of the passengers was thrown by the heaving of the vessel across a rope which was slack at that time although it was attached to one of the sails, at the moment he fell, the wind suddenly filled the sail and the rope was jerked tight and he was thrown with great violence over the ships side into the foaming sea, a cry was raised on the instant but before the ship could be stopped and a lifeboat could be lowered, we had proceeded more than half a mile and a quarter of an hour had elapsed, this was caused by everything being found out of order. On the first outcry, one of the sailors ran to the lifebouys but they were fastened so tight that he could not get one off till it was too late and when the sailors attempted to lower the boat, it was found to be out of order too for it was lashed to a spar and the blocks had never been greased since we left London, so that by the time the boat touched the water, the man was not seen, eight brave fellows were in her and it was an exciting thing to see the beautiful manner in which that little boat rode the waves, one moment it was perched on the top of a mighty wave and the next, men and boat was lost to view as they sank over the wave into the valley of waters behind—every praise was due to the seamen who were in the boat but no trace of the drowning man could be found and they were compelled to return without him—he was a young man about 24 years of age—he had a brother and sister on board and he was very much respected—while crossing the line a boy was sun struck but he had lingered on in great misery until about eleven o’clock tonight when he died. The body was thrown over in about an hour.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;"> About eight o’clock this morning, two other children died making thirty two deaths in all and I am very sad to write that several others are not expected to reach land—about seven o’clock tonight as we were amusing ourselves as best we could, a cry was raised which caused every heart to leap, the cry of fire caused everyone to spring to their feet and we could plainly see the light streaming through the hatch from below—in an instant everything was in the wildest confusion, women and children were screaming in all directions while there was a general rush for all parts of the ship to the place where the fire existed, the whole of the crew were turned out and the fire engine was brought forward when it was found, like everything else on board, completely out of order. Thank god its services were not required for the fire was found to proceed from a very slight cause and it was very soon put out. In about an hour everything was over and we were as quiet as usual.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">At an early hour this morning, one of the lamps which burn in the hatchways caught fire, in a few minutes, the greatest uproar prevailed and another singular scene presented itself, scores rushed from their berths in a state of perfect nudity, others commenced to kick the fire in all directions while some were shouting and running about more like mad men than anything else. However, no damage was done. About one o’clock we sighted land, it proved to be Wide Bay and Sandy Island lying off the coast of Queensland. At dusk we could plainly see a cluster of islands called Sandy Cliffs. A little before dark, while lying about twenty miles from the land, a beautiful Australian butterfly was caught on deck.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Soon after daylight this morning, we again sighted the Queensland coast and we sailed along the shore about twenty-mile distance through the whole day.

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">About two o’clock this morning, another child died and was thrown over soon after. At four, the sailors began to get up the anchors and about six, we proceed again. We passed several rugged looking islands and about one o’clock the anchors were cast in Keppel Bay. We expect the government steamer to come down the river to take us to the depot, we are lying within half a mile of the land and it looks very fine but there is no life to be seen.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">We are all on deck at an early hour this morning. Several large sharks were seen in the bay but nothing alive could be seen on shore except some birds. We remained the whole day anxiously looking for the steamer but we received no tiding of it until about midnight when the commissioner and other officers came alongside and the whole ship was in an uproar, many sat up the whole night.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">June 27</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> 1863.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">About 7 o’clock this morning, the steamer came alongside and we all had to pass before the commissioner. By three o’clock in the afternoon everything was ready and after giving three very hearty cheers to our friends whom we left on the ship and who were going to Brisbane, the steamer started up the river Fitzroy on its way to Rockhampton. The scenery along the banks of the river was very fine, the trees were growing into the water on both sides up the hillsides and as far as the eye could reach, nothing but trees met the view—nothing with life could be seen, everything was still except the noise we made and which appeared to astonish some birds which flew very near the steamer. About six we came in sight of a steamer which was wrecked on some sand banks which we had to pass and the tide not being high enough, we had to wait until there was water enough for the steamer to pass with safety, by this time it had become quite dark, we had not been proceeding very long before we were all startled by two cannons being fired on deck and at the same instant, two rockets were sent into the air. We were told that this was a signal to let the people at Rockhampton know that the steamer was near. In a very short time, we were in front of the town, the town we had come so many thousands of miles to see.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">It would be impossible to describe it exactly as it appeared to us that night, we could see on the bank of the river, about a score of tents made of calico, the highest portion of which was not seven feet from the ground on the outside of each tent at some little distance was a wood fire by the light of which we could see the people passing from one tent to another, a little farther on we came in sight of some wooden huts. The moon shone out brightly about this time and we could plainly see three or four large wooden buildings which bore the appearance of public houses and one butcher shop. About four hundred of the inhabitants of the place assembled on the bank of the stream and gave us a noisy welcome, some were shouting to us to inquire if there were any men from such and such a country, others were inquiring if such and such a man was with us. At this time we were lying in the middle of the stream and we were very much surprised when the anchor was let go and we were told that we would not be allowed on shore that night and that we must pass the night on deck without beds or covering of any kind. This was very unpleasant considering that many of us could not get at our boxes to get our blankets. In about two hours we were served with plenty of fresh beef and bread and tea which was a great treat to us after being without so long, by this time, the people on shore had left us for the fog had become so thick that they could not even see the vessel. We passed that night very miserably, for it was very cold and the vessel was too crowded for us to walk about.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Everything must have an end and so the night had an end, daylight came at length, the sun shone out so brightly and in a very few minutes the fog was gone and soon we were as much too hot as we had been too cold. After we had partaken of a hearty breakfast, the commissioner came on board and we were allowed to go ashore and directed to go to the depot, which was about a mile from the place where we landed. We left our luggage behind which was sent up to the depot free of any expense, about two hundred of the men of the place [for I cannot bring myself to call it a town yet] came to see us land and no doubt they thought we were a poor looking lot, for some of us had been without sleep for four or five nights and we were all very dirty knocking about the steamer during the night.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">However, they did not seem to despise us for they were very friendly towards us and several carpenters amongst us had work offered to them before we had been on shore half an hour. We straggled on a few at a time in to what they called the town, we found that most of the dwellings were of calico about seven feet high along what they call the streets we found some more substantial buildings of wood covered with zinc, these were at intervals of sixty or eighty yards apart and there were a few brick buildings which were two stories high and which is a novelty here.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">We reached the depot at length, where we found everyone hustling about looking after his or her luggage which had begun to arrive. We found the depot to consist of two large wooden sheds, one of which was fitted up with berths to accommodate one hundred emigrants, the other was parted off into several large rooms, there was also a number of calico tents about seven feet square and not more than six feet high in the highest part.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">There were no beds of any kind in the depot and as the whole of us had thrown our beds overboard before we left the ship, we were without. But I heard no complaints, everyone seemed to be happy to be on shore even without a bed and as many of us had lain on the boards for the last two months before we left the ship, it was nothing new to be without a bed.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">We found our luggage alright and in about two hours we were served with plenty of good beef, potatoes and bread and tea and sugar. Frying pans were sent up to us and very soon we were enacting the first scene in the drama of bush life. It would have done you good to have seen us at that time with at least a hundred fires burning amongst the trees, on the top of each fire a frying pan fizzled away beautifully and the sides of the fire surrounded with kettles containing potatoes, tea and co. In the after part of the day, the depot was visited by all of the people of the place who were in want of servants and by the time it was dark, about fifty of the emigrants had been engaged. This was considered very good especially as it was Sunday.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">This morning I took a stroll into the town such as it is, I found there was but one street that could be considered as such, this I found to be properly macadamised [road graveled] and with some very tidy looking shops but the thing that surprised me most was that so much had been done in so short a time, five years ago, this place was scarcely known. I found there were four places of worship but I found there were more public houses than anything else and a fine business it is here, for drunkenness is very common, as I was walking along, a chance offered and I earned my first shilling in the colony.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">About one hundred emigrants were engaged yesterday and today, a great many more are engaging, as I was standing at one of the fires, a gentleman came to me and inquired if I was engaged, I replied that I was not but that I wished to be, he then made me an offer which I accepted, the station to which he belonged was four hundred miles from Rockhampton, two hundred of which we were to go by water, the other two hundred we were to walk with bullock drays for guides. The vessel which was to take us away was not yet arrived but was expected in within a week during which time he was to keep us at a boarding house for all parties are turned out of the depot as soon as they are engaged.</span></b><br />

We are very anxious to get away for it is very tiresome waiting here, there is no amusement here except going to see the native blacks, there is a tribe of about four hundred about half a mile out of town and to see them sitting and capering around their fires [all quite naked] with their ugly faces, wooly hair and grinning teeth is a very queer sight to say the least of it. The police of the town do not allow them to come into town unless they put some clothes on but it is not uncommon to see a grown woman with nothing on except a shirt scarcely large enough for a boy of eight.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Today, we are rolling about on the ocean again and what was very surprising, we were all very sick.

<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">About two o’clock today, the anchor was cast and we were told that we had about eight miles to go but there was not water enough for the vessel to go any farther and that we must go in the small boats. In about an hour, the small boats left the ship and the sailors rowed us across the bay and up the Pioneer River. A little before sunset, we came alongside a large wooden building and we were told that this was the place we were going to land. We had a letter from the agent in Rockhampton and we made an application and produced the letter and we were sent, for that night, to a public house not far from where we landed and were told that we must see the agent again in the morning</span></b><br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="color: #00000a;">*The vessel ‘Belfapore’ or ‘Belapore’ did not exist, historians still include either one of the above names as being fact but the truth is, the vessel on which Abijah and Emma Good arrived at Rockhampton Queensland, was the ‘Beejapore’, a vessel chartered by the Black Ball Line for emigrant to Queensland. Although this may seem a small area of concern, it can lead to a great deal of extra work trying to find vessels that don’t exist. Thankfully, we have libraries where passenger lists of the arriving vessels are stored for all time.</span></b></i><b><span style="color: #00000a;"> </span></b><br />
<i><b><span style="color: #00000a;">I have unearthed a few amusing items in my research of this particular diary but none more than the Depot manager’s list of passengers who arrived on this vessel. Abijah Good was given the name Abigail by someone who could not read his handwriting when copying the shipping lists.

<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: black;">On the 14<sup>th</sup> of February, 1895, in latitude 46* 15 S; Longitude 68* 16 E, the New Zealand Company’s mail steamer ‘Ruapehu’ was running her easting down in strong winds [force 7 on the Beaufort scale] when it was noticed by the watch, at 9am, that a sailing ship was coming up astern of the steamer. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">The captain ordered the engineer to drive the ship and also to set the topgallant sails in an effort to out run the sailing ship. The steamer was running at 14 knots at this time and was, like her adversary, ploughing through the roughening seas. At noon, the sailing ship, which turned out to be the New Zealand Company’s ‘Turakina’ came up alongside of the ‘Ruapehu’ and was close enough for those aboard the steamer, to see the faces of the officers and men of the 27 year old ‘Turakina’ ex ‘City of Perth’. The sailors aboard were working feverishly as the excitement caused by passing a steamship had everyone aboard working as one.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">The‘Turakina’ forged ahead in a flurry of foam and was heeled over with the force of the wind, she crossed the bows of the steamer after hauling her wind. She then shortened sail enough to satisfy the wind but yet stay ahead of the battling steamship. They stayed like that until midnight when the wind changed and the next morning the wonderful little sailing ship had disappeared. This tale of a race between sail and steam meant the world to all those who sailed before the mast, even though the life was rough, the men who sailed before the mast would not have had it any other way. </span><br />

<span style="color: black;">Only the want for faster service and the lure of wealth could end their era as the forerunners in transportation, an era gone but never forgotten.</span></div>

<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: black;">Over the centuries, the number and shape of sails used on shipping changed dramatically from the original single sail of the Mediterranean and Scandinavian shipping, to the great cloud like sails of the full rigged windjammer. Sails of the 16<sup>th</sup> through to the early 20<sup>th</sup> century were varied, dependent on the size of the vessel, on a typical three mast ship of this period, ships sailed with a lower course of mainsails on each mast followed by topgallant sails and royal sails. In some of the more adventurous vessels, more sails were placed above the royals, these were: skysails, cloudscrapers, moonrakers and the uppermost sail, the stargazer, which was not much bigger than a ladies scarf.. The ship ‘Essex’ loaded a total of 63 sails onto her masts giving that ship the fame of having carried the most ever sails. [A list of those sails can also be seen under ‘Essex’ in the ‘Notable Passenger Ships register in this work] American sea captains had a tendency to lay on more sail than was needed at most times, the desire for greater speed especially during the gold rush years caused a great many ships to come to grief because of this habit. Ships of three or more masts were square rigged on all masts with a spanker sail set on the aft side of the aftermost mast. The barque rig came into fashion around the first decade of the 19<sup>th</sup> century and this rig was to compete favourably with the fully square-rigged ship for the last of the days of the great tall ships.</span></div>

Three mast ship or barque; Foremast, Mainmast and Mizzenmast. When a fourth mast was added, it was named Bonaventure or Jigger.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #00000a;">When the fifth mast was added, it became the Spanker The sixth mast became the Driver, the seventh and eighth masts were usually open to naming by the captain, some used numbers while others used names like; After mast or After jigger etc. There have never been qualified names for the different masts over and above the normal three or four, perhaps due to the fact that three and four masts were the main in the English fleets and only the Germans and Americans seemed interested in having more than the regular number of mast.</span><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The Americans were extremely constructive in their business dealings once the American civil war had ended. Soon they were trading all over the world with the much sought after softwoods of that country. The ‘round the Horn’ trade, was perhaps the most hazardous of all sailing ship voyages. It caused many ships to disappear without trace and Captains were forced to shanghai sailors or even landsmen during the goldrush days. Many a drunken free spirit awoke from his inn-ebriated slumber, to find himself on the high seas, headed for the dreaded Cape. It is said that even a vicar was once belted over the head with a belaying pin while headed home one night. He too, spent the next few months up in the rigging. Shipwrecks were a common item around Cape Horn. Staten Island and Tierra del Fuego bore silent witness to many vessels that were lost on their cold and lonely shores.</span></b><br />

<span style="color: #00000a;"> <span style="font-size: large;">[The ‘Queensland Recruiting Trade’]</span><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">During the early 1860’s, the entrepreneur and ship owner, Robert Towns purchased land on the Logan River about 75 Kilometres south of Brisbane. It was here that he started his cotton plantation, which was modeled after the American plantations in the south of that country.</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">His farm had its beginnings at a time that proved ideal, the American civil war had broken out and cotton supplies were hard to find. Robert Towns named his plantation ‘Townsvale’ and he began his enterprise with German labour which soon proved expensive, when he found that feeding these families had eaten into his own profits, he set about ridding them from his plantation. Towns was a vigorous businessman and he owned a fleet of vessels which ranged in size from schooner to ship. His vessels came to Australia as emigrant and cargo vessels.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Soon Towns was looking for another source of labour. When local natives proved useless, he decided to send one of his many vessels to induce natives from the islands to the north and northeast of Australia. These he hoped would come to Queensland to ‘weed and pick cotton for 10 shillings a month over and above rations’.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The captain of the ‘Don Juan’ was given orders to offer the natives [up to 100 of them] two new suits of clothes. To make the whole episode seem well over and above board, he also wrote letters to missionaries who were giving religion to the natives of the South Pacific. To them he stated his need for laborers in Queensland. And so began the recruiting trade which proved to be a shameful part of Queensland’s history.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Though not nearly as bad as the African slave trade to America. The Kanaka or Blackbirder trade to Queensland and Fiji, were a continuation for the slavers, that had lost business in the America’s after the civil war.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">This type of person, who seem to enjoy the pain and suffering of their fellowman, were able to show just how vicious they could be. But the shoe was not always on one foot in the Kanaka trade, many whites were killed and many vessels burned or looted, by the powerful tribes of the South Pacific islands</span><span style="font-size: 180%;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 180%;"> MAIN REGISTER OF</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 180%;"> RECRUITING TRADE VESSELS</span><span style="color: #00000a;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘AGNES DONALD’ Wood brig that was owned by Fijian interests. She transported recruits for both the Queensland and Fijian trades.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘ALFRED VITTERY’ Built 1860. Wood schooner of 122 Tons. Length; 92 ft. Breadth; 20.7 ft. Depth; 11 ft. She had the misfortune to run into a calm off New Ireland and ran ashore becoming a total wreck while recruiting at Kaan Island. The recruiter ‘Lochiel’ rescued her crew.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘ARCHIMEDES’ Wood schooner that came into the trade in 1885.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘ARIEL’ Wood schooner that operated from Bundaberg, Queensland. Master; Captain James Howie. She was involved in the rescue of the schooner ‘Frederika’ crew after that vessel was wrecked.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘BLACK DOG’ Wood Sandalwood trader that belonged to Robert Towns and was used in the recruiting trade in 1865.She had also been an Opium runner in earlier times and was an old schooner when she came under the command of Captain Henry Ross Lewin. He proved to be a thorn in the side of both missionaries and authorities. Especially for stepping over the mark and using questionable tactics while recruiting.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘BOBTAIL NAG’ Wood recruiter that rescued the castaway whaling-seaman John Renton, who was saved by natives from a small island off Malaita. He lived among this people for many years until Captain Murray of the ‘Bobtail Nag’ found him in 1875. Renton was surprised to find that some seven years had gone by since his ship had been wrecked.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘BOREALIS’ Wood brigantine that was attacked in 1880 while still a new vessel. Her crew was divided when the attack came and all that were aboard were murdered at Kwai islet near Malaita. The cook survived by hiding during the attack and the rest of the crew who were away at the time, returned to see the attack as it was ending. They quickly rowed away to where other recruiters were operating and returned in time to save the brig. She was taken back to Fiji and then on to New Zealand where indignation was rife and calls for action were many.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘BOROUGH BELLE’ Wood schooner that was recruiting at Ambrym island when her master, Captain Belbin was shot to death by natives. The Navy was quick to avenge the killing and recruiting stopped at that island. The ‘Borough Belle’ was brought back to Mackay by Captain Adrian of the ‘Jabberwock’ which had been nearby and able to assist. Captain Belbins wife had accompanied him on this voyage so it would have been a rather sad trip homeward for the vessel.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘BROTHERS’ Wood clipper of 355 Tons. Though not a recruiter, she did belong to Robert Towns who commanded her at the age of 26 and who was very happy to make the vessel work hard for his fortune.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘CARL’ Wood brig that was bought and sailed by Dr James Patrick Murray who left in June 1871, looking for an adventurous time. He with eleven of his friends and the crew of the ‘Carl’ arrived at Fiji where the good doctor tried to convince the captain that they should take up Blackbirding. This was argued against and the doctor sacked all except the mate who he promoted to captain and he then hired a new crew at Levuka.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">After roping a cannon over the yardarm so that it could be dropped into the native canoes that came to trade with the vessel at any island she visited. Soon, the brig had over 140 natives locked up in the holds. This did not go down well with the islanders for they resented being kidnapped and were soon making efforts to escape.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">A fight broke out and the captain, crew and the doctor spent the whole night firing down into the holds until the natives became quiet. Afternoon came and the wounded and dying natives were brought on deck where the doctor ordered them thrown overboard. Over seventy natives were drowned. The doctor is said to have been singing ‘Marching through Georgia’ while shooting the natives.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">A footnote to this story was that Doctor Murray confessed his involvement in the affair to the authorities and some 18 months after it happened, he struck a deal to turn Queens evidence and blamed everyone else for the crimes he had instigated.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘CEARA’ Wood schooner that was owned by the Burns Philp Company in the early 1880’s. Master; Captain Carl Santini then Captain William Inman. She almost had an uprising by Kanakas, who were being returned to their islands after they had completed their term of service. The natives had worked hard for three years to save enough money to buy firearms only to find at the end of their time, that the much-prized weapons were banned. This caused a disturbance that looked nasty for a while until the HMS ‘Miranda’ fell in with ‘Ceara’ and escorted her to her destination.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘CHALLENGE’ Wood schooner that was active in the recruiting trade. For illegally taking recruits, this vessel was arrested by the British ship HMS’ Basilisk.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘CHANCE’ Wood schooner that was active during the 1870’s and was under the command of Captain Carl Satini who was a rugged Swede that did nothing by halves. The vessel operated out of Maryborough, Queensland and did nothing to enhance that towns reputation.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘CITY OF MELBOURNE’ Steamship that rescued the disabled recruiter ‘Elibank Castle’ off Double Point near Port Douglas, Nth Queensland. [See ‘Elibank Castle]</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"> ‘CONSTANTINE’ Wood cutter that was involved in the recruiting trade. Master: Captain James Martin.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘DANCING WAVE’ Wood schooner that was based in Sydney and that entered the recruiting trade during the 1870’s. Natives at Ngela, in the Florida group of islands slaughtered her crew in 1876. This was caused by returned recruits who had not been paid for their work in Queensland due to their employer going bankrupt. The natives who were in his employ had been returned to their island and the resulting anger were taken out on the crew.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘DANIEL WATSON’ Wood schooner that was based in Sydney and did her recruiting in the 1860’s. Her captain discovered that other recruiters had got to several islands before him and he decided to make it harder for them to recruit the next time by firing on every village that he passed on his way along the coast.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘DAPHNE’ Wood schooner of 56 Tons. H Ross Lewin and Thomas Pritchard bought her as an old vessel from the South Australian government. She entered the recruiting trade as the first licenses vessel ever in that trade. She was licensed to carry 58 recruits. She brought her first recruits to Queensland on the 15</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of November 1868. Pritchard was arrested in Fiji by the HMS ‘Rosario’ which had as its Master, Captain George Palmer who had been a British naval commander in West Africa and who saw the Queensland recruiting trade as nothing more than a barely covered slave trade. Captain John Daggett of the ‘Daphne’ was also arrested and tried in the Sydney Water Police Courts. The charges were dismissed and costs were awarded against Captain Palmer. Even though the ‘Daphne’ had arrived in Fiji with 108 instead of 58 recruits who had been locked below decks and who, for all appearances were the epitome of would be slaves. This though was brought down by barristers acting for the ‘Daphne’ who showed the good Captain Palmer had been impetuous and had not understood the difference between the Queensland trade and they way the American slave trade operated.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘DAUPHIN’ Wood schooner commanded by the French Captain Demoselle. She also was involved in the recruiting trade during the 1880’s.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘DAYSPRING’ Wood missionary 120-Ton brigantine that serviced the Solomon Islands and also others in the region. She was one of at two vessels of this name. She was considered the first of the two vessels. She was wrecked on a reef at Aneityum Island on The 6th of January 1873. The wreck was sold to the French who repaired her and were going to put her into the recruiting trade as ‘Dayspring II’ but another storm arrived and again drove her back onto the reef where she became a total wreck.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘DAYSPRING II’ [see ‘Dayspring’I]</span><br />
<br />
<br />

She is probably the same schooner that foundered during a gale off the NSW coast on the 9</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of May 1869 with the loss of 9 lives.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘ELIBANK CASTLE’ Wood schooner of 100 Tons. Captain Augustus Routch, who put Captain James Howie in command of her and entered the vessel into the recruiting trade, owned her as a Copra trader. She sailed from Cooktown, Queensland on the 6</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of November 1884 on her first voyage in that trade. With the trade now paying 25 pound per head for recruits, it was seen more as a voyage of kidnapping than of recruiting. During this period, the press from all sides was attacking the trade. The vessel arrived at Rendova Island on the 12</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of January 1885 and there attempted, by trickery, to recruit the local natives. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Chief Poogey was already aware of the plan as many others had tried the same type of ploy. Instead, Captain Howie and two of his crew were accompanied onto the island by some of the chief’s men and were killed. There were only three white crew and three Kanakas left aboard and after some harrowing moments, they managed to up sail and away. Three weeks later the steamer ‘City of Melbourne’ found the vessel in a disabled condition near Double Point, Port Douglas, Queensland and rescued the men aboard. The ‘Elibank Castle’ was repaired and back at work within seven weeks and command was taken over by Captain Routch himself and he took the vessel to the Solomon’s group where he invited the locals on board to trade. The natives suddenly went crazy and attacked the crew with ferocity. The bosun, David Brown had been coming up the companionway when a native swung a tomahawk and hit him a glancing blow to the head. Having avoided being killed, he stumbled down into the hold and managed to hide himself until joined by seaman Hugh Gildie who had also been wounded in the fighting. The two men waited until nightfall and made their way on deck, only to find two natives still aboard whom they managed to kill. The two wounded seamen found that all others had been killed it was decided to try to sail in the general direction of New Guinea as neither man could navigate. The ‘Elibank Castle’ was run onto a reef off northern New Guinea and while trying to get ashore, Hugh Gildie was drowned. New Guinea natives saved David Brown and handed him over to a Dutch Brig, which took him to Queensland.</span><br />

The local natives realised that the time was right for a strike at the vessel. They did not realise that the whites had been attacked at other times and that they were a little more prepared, When the fight began, the mate and one of the seamen [Crittenden] fought like wild men. The Government Agent was hacked to death with the rest of the crew except for Crittenden and Marr who had armed themselves and began shooting the natives one after the other. The fighting went on for some time and was still going when the boats re-appeared. This battle was for the most part, heroic but even heroes can be unlucky. ‘Young Dick’ was anchored in the Herbert River, North Queensland in July 1886 when she was warned by the local pilot not to sail, as there was bad weather coming. Captain Rogers chose to disregard the advice and she sailed away and went missing perhaps somewhere on the Great Barrier Reef.

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">It should be understood that many shipwrecks may be missing from this Register due to the large number of ships that have been discovered, undiscovered and unaccounted for before and since this register was created. It is also difficult to get some information but technology has progressed and many shipwrecks are now recorded online.

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘AMERICA’ Wood cutter that was wrecked on Horn island near Prince of Wales Island in the Torres Strait. Captained by William Thompson, a seaman who bought the ten ton cutter in Brisbane, she was looking for the wreck of a whaler, which had gone aground on Chesterfield Reef. The wreck had much of its cargo of whale oil intact and William Thompson enlisted the help of three crewmen and a partner to salvage the oil. The ‘America’ was herself wrecked and only one person survived, that was a young white girl who had left Sydney with William Thompson as his defacto wife in the middle months of 1844. The young lady’s name was Barbara Crawford Thompson, who was born Barbara Crawford in Aberdeen, Scotland in the early months of 1831. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The natives of Murralahg Island [Prince of Wales Island] saved her. Chief Peaqui, of Murralahg, recognised her as his ‘daughter’ who had returned in the form of a ghost. Barbara was still very young and she quickly learned the language and the ways of the tribe.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">It was common for natives at that time to believe that white people were the ghosts of dead tribe members who were returning to be with their family. This belief seems to have been widespread among the aborigines of Australia and the Torres Straits. When a white did arrive among natives and if he or she made no accidental infringements on tribal taboos, then it was likely that they would be taken into the tribe if someone ‘recognised’ them. The British naval ship HMS ‘Rattlesnake’ rescued Barbara Thompson on October 16</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> 1849, almost five years after the wreck of the ‘America’. [See Castaways section this publication]</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘AMITY’ A wood Brig that is thought to have gone down in a gale in March 1870 losing her five crew. She disappeared near the Manning River in New South Wales.</span><span style="color: #00000a;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">‘AMPHITRITE’ Wood ship that was lost while bringing female convicts to Australia. She was caught in heavy seas off the French coast on the 39</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of August 1833. Of the 136 persons aboard, only three seamen were saved. The rest were drowned and that included all 106 female convicts and 12 of their children along with the master, the mates and Surgeon-Superintendent James Forrester and his wife [her first trip, his third] and the crew which numbered 16 men. Master: Captain John Hunter. Heavy seas drove the ‘Amphitrite’, into Boulogne Harbour where she grounded in a position from, which, at low tide, did not seem too precarious to her captain. He disregarded French offers of help from the harbour master and it is stated that had he accepted the offers for help no lives would have been lost. The ship grounded at low tide and was in no real danger until the tide turned and brought the big seas with it. A French seaman, Pierre Henin swam the half mile out to the grounded vessel and called for a line so that they could begin bringing those aboard to shore. Again the offer was rejected; it is believed that the captain thought that the females would try to escape once they had been taken ashore.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">When the tide returned, the seas quickly tore the ship in half and the people ashore could do nothing except listen to the screams of the women and children as they were tossed in the boiling sea. The loss of this vessel stood squarely with the master and his officers. The aid offered by the French was entirely enough even though they could have offered a pilot boat well before she struck. It was not an obligation for them to do so due to the heavy sea running at the time but the pilot, Francis Henret, did take his boat out to the ship soon after she struck and all could have been saved had they accepted his offer of help. [Convict ship]</span><br />

<span style="color: #00000a;">The ‘Centurion’ was under tow by the tugboat ‘Phoebe’ and had been cleared to sail for Honolulu. The captain of the ‘Phoebe’ stated that while towing the ship out, he found the seas coming into Sydney Harbour were rough. The ship ‘Manhegan’ was anchored almost directly between the heads and the seas caused the tug to alter course to pass under the stern of the anchored ship. This caused the towline to slacken and drop down into the propellers of the ‘Phoebe’, parting the line. The rest is history, the ‘Centurion’ had no power of her own and she was quickly washed onto rocks at Quarantine Head and after bumping heavily on them, went over on her beam ends and drifted a short distance to nearby Cannae Point where she sank. All the crew were saved and the ship rested quietly on the bottom of Sydney Harbour for 98 years before being ‘discovered’ by divers in May 1885. Anyone interested in the old Tall Ships would have been able to tell those interested in diving old wrecks, that the story of the ‘Centurion’ and where she went down has been published in many of the more well known seafaring books.

The passengers panicked and the boats were got over the side with people choking, coughing and battling to gain a place in one of the boats. The sails soon caught fire and of the 474, only 81 were able to get away in the boats. They had to sit and watch as their fellow passenger were forced to jump into the ocean or burn. Captain Elmslie had his young wife with him and he threw her over the side and then jumped in after her, he was the last to leave the fiercely burning ship. The two boats that were got away had no food or water and only one had any form of propulsion, one solitary oar. For the next nine days there came a tale of horror as one by one the passengers began to die. Finally, rescue came, only three of the 81 were still alive and they were in very poor condition.The ship, ‘British Sceptre’ found them and transported them to safety.

Of her 27 passengers and crew who survived the wreck, none were to see their loved ones again. The local aboriginal tribes set them upon. The ‘Milmendjuri’ and ‘Tanganekald’ quickly dispatched the adults and then clubbed to death the six children some of whom were infants. A detachment of police and volunteers were sent to arrest the instigators of the massacre and the two tribes were rounded up near Lake Albert in South Australia. The natives handed over two of their number who was the supposed killers for punishment which, the aborigines would have seen as an unusual event in the way it was carried out. The two natives were sentenced on the spot to hang and as a warning, the rest of the natives were made to watch the hangings. A scaffold was erected to the height that was usual for the British type and the two natives were made to stand on boxes with ropes round them. They were strung up by the neck and when the boxes were kicked out from under them, the natives stood on tiptoe. They were stretched but still alive but not kicking. This proved to be unpleasant for the police detachment and some ropes were secured to the arms of the two natives and they were hoisted up a few feet more above the ground and were allowed to drop suddenly which broke their necks, killing them instantly. Whether it did serve to act as a strong warning to the local tribes is not recorded but it probably told the native groups that whites were no different and that they too, took revenge when and wherever needed.</span><br />

<span style="color: #00000a;">‘MARIA’ Wood brig of 167 Tons that was bound from Sydney to the Fly River, New Guinea when she was wrecked on Bramble reef near Cardwell, North Queensland in February 1872. Built in the USA, she was a wood Brig of 167 Tons. Length. approx. 90 ft. Breadth. approx 18 ft. Depth. approx. 12 ft. Master: Captain Thomas Stratman. Mate: Charles Sonnichsen. Surgeon: Thomas Tate. None of the above crew had ever held that post before, the ship was so rotten that the owners had to hire men from lesser posts. The “Maria’ had been hulked in Sydney Harbour but was bought for $600.00 by a group of gold seekers who wanted to sail to Papua New Guinea in 1872. Of those on board, only four were experienced seamen, the rest of the crew were made up of men seeking adventure and gold. The voyage was doomed from the start, the brig had rotten masts and timbers but she eventually struck a reef off the North Queensland coast in February of 1872. Of the 76 gold seekers, only 36 lived to tell the tale. Twelve men were drowned on the wreck, twenty-four were drowned on rafts or killed by blacks. Captain Stratman had taken six crewmen with him in the Captains Gig and had landed at Gladys Inlet north of Cardwell, natives attacked the group and the captain and two others were killed and eaten.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The ‘Charles Eaton’ was a wood barque of 313 Tons that in August 1834, ran aground on the Great Barrier Reef in far northern Australian waters. Most of the passengers and crew were got safely away on two rafts, which later became separated. Both rafts made it to islands in the area but except for five of the crew, who escaped in the only surviving boat sailed off to Batavia, natives killed all the adults including the mother of two very young boys, George and William D’Oyley.</span></b><span style="color: #00000a;"> </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Only two cabin boys and the two very young D'Oyley children, belonging to a passenger [Captain D’Oyley of the Bengal Artillery and his wife] were kept alive. The cabin boys were John Ireland and a boy named John Sexton, the two children were George D’Oyley [7 years old] and his baby brother 2-year-old William. Both boys witnessed the clubbing and beheading of their mother and father by the headhunters. George D’Oyley and William Sexton were separated from the other boys and taken to Darnley Island [Erub] where it is believed that they also, were later killed. A few years later, a large tortoise shell mask was found on Aureed Island decorated with forty-five human skulls. The skulls of white people made up seventeen of the dead and one was identified as that of Mrs. D’Oyley by a length of hair that had been driven into her skull by the force of a club blow. Almost all the skulls had suffered breakage caused by clubs, of the seventeen identified as not being native, only George D'Oyley's remains were undiscovered. There were two women, Mrs D'Oyley and her Indian children's nurse, both were killed along with all the adult males.</span></b><span style="color: #00000a;"> </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">John Ireland and the young William D’Oyley were taken to Boydang Island where their captors fell in with natives from Murray Island. A couple from that place, [Mer] adopted John Ireland and William D’Oyley and they lived there for almost two years before being rescued by HM Schooner ‘Isabella’. Captain Charles M. Lewis commanded this vessel while searching for survivors from the ‘Charles Eaton’. After being told of surviving white children being seen by the crew of the convict ship ‘Mangles’ while that vessel was trading for Tortoise shell, the ‘Isabella’ proceeded out to try and rescue the boys. Captain Carr of the ‘Mangles’ had reported the sighting to officials when he arrived at Kupang, Timor. Although the boys were in good health, the crew of the ‘Isabella’ were all saddened at the thought of what the boys had seen and experienced in their almost two years among headhunters. Young William D’Oyley [now aged four] did not want to leave the arms of his adoptive mother and could only speak the native dialect. It took John Ireland a few days before he could answer questions without dropping the odd native word in where he had forgotten the English equivalent. Eventually both boys were returned to relatives in England.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;"> </span></b><span style="font-size: 180%;"> <span style="color: black;"> THE RESCUE OF TIMOR JOE.</span></span><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The schooner ‘Isabella’ [from above] was eventually sold to a private concern and was later involved in the rescue of ‘Timor Joe’ who was castaway on Timor Laut when only 15 years old. This boy was rescued when Captain Thomas Watson of the ‘Isabella’, which at the time of this rescue was known as ‘Essington’, devised a plan to get the boy away from the natives who were known to be hiding him every time a vessel stopped at Timor Laut</span></b><span style="color: #00000a;"> </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Captain Watson laid out all the gifts on a blanket and placed a mat on the hatch cover near a heavy iron latch, he invited one of the main chiefs to come aboard and see the gifts that he had laid out. The chief was impressed and Captain Watson brought a few more items out until finally, he asked for a pair of manacles to be handed to him. Watson then placed one of the manacle ends on his own leg and explained to the chieftain, that it was a leg band that would enhance the chiefs personal beauty.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">The chief agreed and Watson placed one end on the chief’s leg and the other he attached to the iron latch and so captured the headman. This done, Watson ordered the chief to have the white boy brought aboard or he would hang him. The chief tried to delay proceedings by telling Captain Watson that the boy was inland and it would take several hours to find him. Watson told him to have the boy brought to the schooner in the morning and the little vessel lay out to sea for the night.</span></b><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> The schooner returned in the morning and although the natives wanted to f</span></span><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">ight, the boy was brought and the exchange was made. <b>Watson honored his agreement with the natives a</b></span><b>nd gave </b></span><b><span style="color: #00000a;">them the gifts he had promised.</span></b><span style="color: #00000a;"> </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Timor Joe was captured by natives in 1824 when it is believed he was accidentally left behind by his ship, he was rescued in March 1839; he went on to live at Williamstown in Victoria until he passed away in 1877. He had originally been a member of the ship ‘Stedcombe’ before becoming a prisoner of the natives, Master of the "Stedcombe": Captain Barnes, Masters mate Bastell. </span></b> </div>

<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: large;"> THE MARY WATSON STORY</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">copyright R.J.Warren 2011-2012</span></span></b><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">‘Mary Watson’ was a young Cornish woman gripped by a young mothers fear and desire to protect her baby when unknown aborigines came ashore near her home on Lizard Island, Queensland on the 27</span></span><span style="color: #00000a; font-weight: bold;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a; font-weight: bold;"> of September 1881.</span><span style="color: #00000a;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mary was born Mary Beatrice Phillips in Truro, Cornwall on the 17</span></span><span style="color: #00000a; font-weight: bold;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a; font-weight: bold;"> of January 1860. She was well educated and migrated with her family to Queensland in 1877. She became a private tutor first in Maryborough and then Cooktown where she met her future husband, Captain Robert Watson who was a Beche De Mer fisherman. They were married on the 30</span><span style="color: #00000a; font-weight: bold;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a; font-weight: bold;"> of May 1880 and set up house at Captain Watson’s hut on Lizard Island off the North Queensland coast.</span><span style="color: #00000a;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The couple lived happily for the first year and on the 3</span></span><span style="color: #00000a; font-weight: bold;"><sup>rd</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a; font-weight: bold;"> of June 1881, their son, Ferrier was born at Cooktown. Three months later, when back at Lizard Island, Captain Watson and his partner, P.C. Fuller [Phillips had been erroneously written here, it was Mary's maiden name inserted by mistake. Apologies] began making arrangements for a new fishing base at Knight Island which is about 330 Kilometers from Lizard Island or a few days travel by fishing boat.</span><span style="color: #00000a;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">They left Mrs. Watson in the care of two Chinese servants employed by Captain Watson and departed for Knight Island. The two Chinese servants were Ah Sam, who helped with the housework and Ah Leong, who was the gardener.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">On the 27</span></span><span style="color: #00000a; font-weight: bold;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a; font-weight: bold;"> of September 1881, a group of aborigines arrived at Lizard Island and during the next two days tension ran high for Mary Watson, especially so, when on the 29</span><span style="color: #00000a; font-weight: bold;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a; font-weight: bold;"> of September, Ah Leong went missing.</span><span style="color: #00000a;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Mrs. Watson suspected that the natives had killed the gardener and on the 30</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of September when a few natives approached the hut, she fired at them with two guns left by her husband. On the 1</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>st</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of October, the remaining Chinese servant, Ah Sam was speared and suffered four wounds to his side and three to his shoulder and arm. It was this incident that convinced Mrs. Watson to try to make an escape from the island. So, with her servant and child, .she collected food, water, an umbrella, a pillow and some account books, her diary, a revolver and ammunition and after placing the lot in an old Beche de Mer boiler tank, they pushed off to sea. The voyage made by the old tank was nothing short of miraculous to say the least for they were without sails or engine in a square iron tank, with little comfort from the searing tropical heat. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">he little group and their unwieldy tank traversed 40 miles of sea, before landing on Number 5 Island of the Howick group. They had already landed on Number One Island but had to cast off again having found no water on that islet. They tried to hail a passing steamer while between the two islands but they received no reply. Finally, they reached number 5 island where the Chinese servant crawled away and lay under a tree to die. Mary Watson remained with her baby inside the tank where she must have sweltered. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">They had arrived at number 5 island on the 8</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of October. Her last entry in her diary was on the 11</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of October 1881. This stated that she was very weak from thirst that she could see dark clouds on the horizon and that her child seemed much better than he had been. Shipping records show that no rain clouds or rain were in the area at that time so it seems that Mrs. Watson may have become slightly delirious at the time she wrote her last entry. When questioned regarding the occurrences around Lizard Island at the time Mrs. Watson and her group were missing. Captain Frier who was passing the island observed that he saw several brush fires on the island and that the door to the Watson's hut was ajar. Two aborigines were seen nearby and on October the 20</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;">, the crew of the ship Neptune reported that about 40 aborigines were seen on the island. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">The British warship HMS ‘Conflict’ took five police to the island on the 21</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>st</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of October and found part of Mary Watson's diary describing the early events leading up to her leaving the island. This finding prompted a search of the area that was unsuccessful. This was until an aboriginal crewman from the Beche de Mer schooner ‘Kate Kearney’, discovered the body of Ah Sam under a tree on the 22</span><span style="color: #00000a;"><sup>nd</sup></span><span style="color: #00000a;"> of January 1882. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">That got the search underway again, resulting in the discovery of the bodies of both mother and child. Mrs. Watson was found in the small tank lying on her back with the baby resting its head on her arm. The tank was partially filled with rainwater, which had fallen in recent days, and although there was enough food in the tank, it was lack of water that killed the three people. An interesting side note to the story was captured in sketches made of the hut and its out buildings. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">These had been daubed with aboriginal motifs that showed Stingrays and other fish and what appeared to be a woman with arms and legs akimbo as if running away. Could this have been a message that the natives had only come to fish? If so, what happened to Ah Leong, did he perhaps take a canoe or boat and run away or was he killed and eaten as so many Chinese were by North Queensland and Torres Strait natives. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;">Why did the aborigines not follow them in their canoes? They would have known that the woman and wounded Chinese could not have gone very far. The fact that the aborigines were not showing too much interest in them after they set off in the old tank shows that perhaps the young woman would have survived if she had not left the island. Only those who were there know what really happened but history records a young mother striving to protect her child from the dangers of an early colonial Australia. The tank in which she floated for over forty miles is, I believe, in the Queensland Museum, Brisbane.</span><span style="color: #330033; font-weight: bold;"> </span><br />

<span style="color: #00000a;">As the film industry in America rose to greater and greater heights, the need for more epic films like Moby Dick and Mutiny on the Bounty were called for by a public crying out for romantic adventure movies. Soon sea tales were the in thing as stars like Gregory Peck cashed in on the salty stories of the seven seas. Captain Hornblower and Moby Dick are two of his better films. Pirate movies and their swashbuckling heroes played by actors like Douglas Fairbanks, Tyrone Power and Errol Flynn, came into their own. Crimson haired heroines like Maureen O’Hara were the romantic rage of the middle twentieth century. At least four very good ships were bought for the Los Angeles Movie Fleet. They are listed in our little movie fleet register below. It should be realised that when ships were required to look older for a particular movie i.e.; Captain Hornblower, then the building of a high stern or aft castle was just a small inconvenience for the movie set builders.</span><br />

<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Photographs have been provided by the family who also provided me with the below material, As soon as is possible I will scan them and place them within the below tale.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Author, Warren Register A</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> true story written by Captain T. S. Anderson who began his sailing career as an apprentice of 17 years aboard the ship ‘David Law’. He worked his way up to become master of the tugboat ‘Coringa’ of Brisbane, Queensland.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The tugboat ‘Coringa’ had been the workplace of Captain Anderson for some time when one morning in March 1929, he received a telephone call from his company’s chief officer.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">‘I was at home enjoying the daily newspaper when the phone rang and I was informed that the passenger liner ‘Arafura’ was in need of a tow as she had fractured the stern tube in cyclonic weather off the North Queensland coast’.‘I took a look at the Brisbane sky and there was a steady southeast wind blowing that seemed to give a warning that things might become as little rough’.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">We packed a few necessary items and headed off to the ‘Coringa’ where the crew of 21 men was getting things ready. On some occasions we were given a wireless operator but none were forthcoming for this voyage.We headed off down river and once we had cleared into open seas, we were bouncing up and driving into heavy seas.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The voyage up the coast was managed without too much difficulty and as we were running with the weather, we made good time. The following day we found the ‘Arafura’ about 75 miles Northeast of Lady Elliott Island.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The ‘Arafura’ was taking a terrific buffeting at the hands of the elements and the weather was getting worse. We managed to get the big ship in tow and were now ourselves, being pounded by ever worsening seas.Time after time our little fighting tug was driven into the seas, she was almost being swallowed by the mountains of blue. The wind tore the tops off the waves and turned the spray into little bullets that spattered against the bridge windows as if trying to shoot holes through them.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Hours went by with the same thing occurring over and over until finally we ran into a sea that even ‘Coringa’ could not break through.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">So powerful was the wave when it hit us, that the saloon lower bridge was smashed along with the bulwarks.She slowly recovered from that battering and struggled onward. The night was upon us and it seemed never ending, seas crashing and thumping against the hull with all those on deck continually wet by the driving spray.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">When would the weather slacken off just a little, when would we get a little respite? The sea did not relent and seemed like an angry bull that just had to get us off her back. Such a wonderful little tugboat was ‘Coringa’. How hard she battled the waves with a heavy disabled ship in tow and still be able to keep all aboard her safe. Dawn slowly came and went with the wind screaming her torrents of abuse and the seas lashed at us first one side then the other. Poor ‘Coringa’ could not sway her quarters for the heavy load kept her down and she could only plow onward through the heavy seas. Great green and white waves towered over us and then crashed against our superstructure and across our decks with still no respite. We had not been informed that another tugboat [the ‘Forceful of Brisbane] had been given orders to assist us with the tow and it was indeed a comforting sight when she hove into view.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The mental strain that one suffers as one waits for a drama such as this to end, can make even the strongest of mind, happy to see an end on the horizon.But the sea can be a cruel mistress and as evening turned into night, the seas seemed to regain strength and finally, our steering gear carried away.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Now we were in as much, if not more, trouble than the ‘Arafura’. We were forced to drop our towline and desperately we set to work in an effort to gain even partial steering. This was accomplished with great difficulty in the big seas and it was at this point that I was washed overboard by one sea and given the chance to get back on board by another.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">We were able to follow along behind the ‘Arafura’ which vessel was adrift because ‘Forceful’ did not have a line heavy enough to use and we had her spare below decks in our hold. Perhaps she would be able to get hold of the line we had discarded when our steering broke.We had very little rest ever since leaving Brisbane and at 11pm, I left the bridge after giving orders that we should keep the ‘Arafura’ in sight during the night. At 3am, a voice woke me from a sleep that seemed to have not even begun, it was one of the deckhands and he assisted me on with my oilskins and I resumed the bridge.The Mate was on watch and he peered ahead into the blackness. We had lost the big ship and now that the tension was somewhat slackened; everyone began to show how absolutely worn out and in some cases, seasick they were.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">It was all we could do now, to try and keep the sea from taking us in our semi-crippled condition. When I saw a particularly big sea coming, I ordered full steam ahead to soften the impact of the following sea.When dawns first light came, we searched anxiously for our companion tug and the ‘Arafura’ but they well out of our sight. Our little tug had by this time developed a list to port of several degrees and she was very sluggish in her steering and I found that She could not be got around to face the seas and was therefore forced to run before them.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">As the morning advanced, it seemed that the sea wanted another crack at us and a huge roller smashed over our stern and carried the port lifeboat out of its davits and over the side. We could only watch and it was tumbled about in the maelstrom around us. Had a man gone over board he would not survive in those seas.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Four days had now gone by since we had set out and try as we may, we could not get her head to the seas and we just had to take the tremendous buffeting that we were handed.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">On many occasions, the crew and I thought that we were finished but the gallant little boat kept going.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sometime after midnight, the winds began to moderate and although the seas were still smashing at us, we could sense that relief was at hand. I felt that the worst had come and gone and that if only the seas would moderate a little, we could get her round and the rest would be easy.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The morning of the fifth day came and we managed to take a sight and found that we were about 120 miles east of Sandy Cape. It was a little after this that we were seen by the ship ‘Miruda’ which vessel radioed Brisbane to let them know our position and condition.The list we had developed had been because the forward hatch was full to running over and the pumps had only just managed to keep her going. Finally we reached the shelter of the Brisbane River and we were met by our company superintendent near the Pile Lighthouse and after inspection of the damage, we proceeded up river to arrange repairs and to get some well-earned rest for self and crew.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">One week later after repairs had been made, we again went to sea with the ‘Forceful’ and the ‘Arafura’ [still in tow] and we took the passenger liner on to Sydney for her turn at being repaired.</span></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Dear Capt,</span></b><span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #00000a;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> I was a passenger in the ‘Arafura’ during the cyclone and I feel I can never properly express my gratitude and appreciation to you and your crew for the perfectly wonderful way you stuck by the ‘Arafura’ in those mountainous seas. This until your steering broke and you were compelled to slip the towline. No one except those on board the tug can have any conception of what you must have gone through. I only wish I could have had the opportunity of thanking you and each one of your crew personally. But as that was impossible, I felt that I must write. You certainly earned the greatest admiration from all those aboard the ‘Arafura’ for the splendid way you stuck to your job in the face of such perilous danger. We were all so relieved when we heard that the ‘Coringa’ was safe. This is my first visit to Australia but my experience in the cyclone has left me with an admiration for the grit and bravery, of the Australian, which I will never forget.</span> </span><br />
<b><span style="color: #00000a;">Please convey my greatest thanks to all the crew. </span></b><br />

The cyclone was then</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc32"> forming, and the elements were ex</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc33">tremely bad.

<span class="displayFix" id="lc44"> By this time the cyclone had develop-</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc45"> ed, and the two vessels drifted apart in</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc46"> wild weather.

An-</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc49"> other Brisbane tug, the Forceful, had</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc50"> meanwhile been sent to assist the Cor</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc51">inga with her tow, but she and the</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc52"> Peshavvur could not reach the crippled</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc53"> Arafura till 4 o'clock on Friday morn</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc54">ing, having to light their way through</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc55"> the cyclone. The Arafura had to fight</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc56"> her own way right in the heart of the</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc57"> cyclone, and drifted out to sea. It was</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc58"> as much as her commander could do to</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc59"> keep her head to the wind. At one</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc60"> period during the height of the storm</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc61"> her engines actually failed, and the</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc62"> worst seemed Imminent, but her engin</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc63">eers, toiling heroically in the bowels of</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc64"> the ship, succeeded in saving the situa</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc65">tion.</span>
</div>
<div class="S8">
<span class="displayFix" id="lc66"> When the Forceful and the Peshavvur</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc67"> reached the Arafura on Friday morn</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc68">ing the weather was still extremely bad,</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc69"> but the Forceful succeeded in taking</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc70"> her in tow, with the Peshawur acting as</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc71"> escort. The Arafura's engineers suc</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc72">ceeded in keeping her engines working,</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc73"> but on Saturday night, after the severe</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc74"> straining they had experienced, they</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc75"> broke down completely. The weather,</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc76"> however, was then considerably improv</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc77">ed, and this morning delightful condi</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc78">tions prevailed. The tug Coringa limp</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc79">ed into Brisbane River late yesterday</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc80"> afternoon, after nothing had been heard</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc81"> of her since casting off from the Ara</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc82">fura on Tuesday night, and since when</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc83"> she had experienced a most gruelling</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc84"> time. The tug Forceful also had a</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc85"> most unenviable experience when going</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc86"> to the Arafura's assistance.</span></div>
<div class="S8">
<span class="displayFix" id="lc87"> ENGINEERS' FINE WORK.</span></div>
<div class="S8">
<span class="displayFix" id="lc88"> A visit to the engine-room and shaft</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc89"> house of the Arafura as she lay in port</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc90"> to-day showed vividly the task with</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc91"> which the engineers were faced. The</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc92"> casings of the shaft were badly worn,</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc93"> the water pouring into the shaft open</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc94">ing. Substantial repairs had been car</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc95">ried out, but even when the vessel was</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc96"> lying at the wharf the water was flood</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc97">ing in, and the work in the stoke hold</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc98"> was carried through in frightful diffi</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc99">culties. It appears a marvel that the</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc100"> stokers ever came out alive.</span></div>
<div class="S8">
<span class="displayFix" id="lc101"> The engineers worked on their backs</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc102"> under the shaft of the tunnel while</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc103"> carrying out difficult and dangerous</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc104"> work. The chief engineer stood by for</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc105"> 23 hours, but when questioned regard</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc106">ing his experiences he proved very</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc107"> modest, passing the matter off as if such</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc108"> occurrences were quite ordinary mat</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc109">ters.- It took an hour to persuade him</span><span class="displayFix" id="lc110"> to stand with the other officers for their</span></div>
