• 8 females.
• Births:
• During the entire
Voyage there was 22
births in total.
• 13 males
• 9 females
• On the six ships that were carrying convicts, the total amount of
convicts was approximately 775.
• Some convicts died on the way to Australia.
• There was also convicts kids on board these boats.
• Convicts were housed below decks on the prison deck and often
further confined behind bars.
• In many cases the convicts were restrained in chains and were only
allowed on deck for fresh air and exercise.
• Conditions were cramped and they slept in hammocks.
• The Convicts were made to work hard doing labor everyday, when
they got to Australia.
• If they weren't doing what they were meant to be doing, the convicts
would get lashes across there backs. Even up to 100 at one time.
• Mary Bryant is a very famous convict (you may have seen the short
TV series).
• She was born Mary Broad in Cornwell, England.
• Quite a few years later Mary was convicted for petty thievery and
was sentenced to 7 years transportation to Australia.
• Mary Broad was in the ship Charlotte, which is where she had her
first child, daughter named Charlotte (after the ship). This was
also the place she met her husband to be (William Bryant).
• When Mary got to Australia she married William Bryant (Feb 10
1788). A bit later on there life together, they had a son called
Emanuel.
• After a few years on Australia, William made a plan to escape from
the island. He managed to get his hands on a boat, then on a night
that he knew all the boats that could case them would be gone they
escaped.
• They sailed out during the night with 8 crew members to help the Bryant
family.
• They managed to get to a place called Kupang in Timor. They claimed to be
ship wreck sailors. This story held out for a while.
• But they were later found to be British convicts. They were found because
William became drunk and blabbed.
• The family and crew members were sent back to Britain so it didn’t become
international incident.
• On the way back to Britain for there Trial, Mary’s Husband and first born
child perished because of Fever, and later the older child died as well.
• So Mary and the Crewmembers were only left to stand trial.
• Mary Bryant had to do an additional year in prison but was then Pardoned in
May 1793.
• That is the amazing true story of Mary Bryant.
• When the first fleet first arrived at Botany Bay they deemed it
unsuitable for settlement.
• So they moved and settled at Port Jackson.
• Most of the convicts didn’t know how to farm.
• In the beginning everyone had to be on rationed food including
Captain Phillip.
• They had very little building material, so shelter was a problem. The
tools the government had given them, were really weak and got
broken very easily.
• Once they started to get crops growing, buildings made, and villages
formed they moved and settled in other places.
• When the First Fleet got to Australia they
went to Botany Bay, but soon realised the
fresh water supply and soil was not good
enough to start a new colony.
• So they went a little north and landed in
Port Jackson, where Captain Arthur Phillip
planted the Union Jack and the marines
fired a volley of shots into the air. They
then had a toast to celebrate the new
colony.
