I did read about one man who was sentenced to be transported to Australia and managed to jump overboard and successfully swam to shore making his escape. The ship was moored in the
Thames and would be there sometime waiting to get enough prisoners before it sailed. The man was on deck one day and before anyone could stop him he jumped in the Thames where he managed to avoid the boats in the river whose job it was to catch him and return him to the ship. Once ashore he made good his escape.
Now at this point you would think he would lay low for awhile until it was safe. But this he did not do. So a week after making his escape he was walking down the street and walked right into the judge who had sentenced him. He was immediately caught and sent beck to the ship which was still in the Thames. And extra precautions were taken to make sure he did not escape again. You have a feeling that his return to the ship was not a friendly one after making fools of the the crew. I do wonder if he lived long enough to get to Australia.

Got to SUCK it up and do what you got to do or die. Whatever it takes to survive and move forward. That's what's wrong with snowflakes today. They can't decide who or what they are and what safe space to hide in, Can't wipe their ass without a phone or drag queen telling them what to do. Amazing how WIMPY people have become as they get their feelings hurt at the slightest FART.

Hes 100% wrong this wasnt the first ship sent over! Maybe the first ship with only women prisoners but the first few ships were actually mostly guards and workers like black smiths and their families because they need a functioning community to make trade and watch over the convicts which there was very few prisoners on the first few ships!

It would be so fascinating to have a more in-depth story of some of the women who were on the Lady Juliana. Most stories of the earlier success stories of settlers is always about the men, but I'm sure there must be success tales about some of the women, also. In many cases, I'm sure the wife was as much a part of the success as her husband.

I've been to a colonial prison in Freemantle Perth. They are Draconian in every sense of the word. They were designed to intimidate, impose, harass, and inspired fear, they did all that and more. For the prisoners they fostered a hatred for all things government. Remember it was only starting out on statehood.

Fun fact, towards the end of the 'transportation era' the deterrent of transportation obviously wasn't working. Example being when 4 Irish lasses protested to a judge when they were sentenced for 4 years in England rather than being transported to Australia.

Have a guess at what the first female official job/occupation etched in stone or clay written in human history is/was. They did what they had to do to survive, I understand. Use what weapons you have even yourself.

Im Australian and my family have been here since the first fleet. Bloody proud to be from a pure bloodline of criminals sent to essentially die on an island and instead made it their home.

So how did a country full of ex-convicts become one of the most successful in the world? Yet we have other countries full of resources, yet they are dirt poor? Explanations please.

When you think of it, being sent to Australia was a blessing for these criminals. At least one had a chance of a new life, when the other alternative in Blighty was execution

In those days, you could be sentenced to Transportation, for picking up Apples on the floor of an Orchard, if you climbed over a wall to get to them. How crazy is that?

While y'all are laughing and thinking this is cute, they no doubt brought a lot of brutality and disease to the Aboriginal people who already inhabited Australia.
