Many Welsh convicts transported to Australia in the 19th century could only speak Welsh and had difficulty communicating with other English-speaking convicts. By 1871, almost 7,000 Welsh-born settlers lived in Victoria, Australia. The first Welsh immigrant to North America was Howel Powell, and Elihu Yale, the son of Welsh parents who settled in Boston, went on to found one of the largest universities in America. In the late 19th century, the first group of over 100 Welsh settlers gathered from across Wales to travel on the ship Mimosa to establish a colony in Patagonia, South America.
