The First Fleet was fully commissioned by the British Government. The ships were sourced, purchased, fitted out and supplied by the government. Captain Arthur Phillip was chosen to command the First Fleet, and his first concern was always the health of the convicts, as he knew they would be crucial to the establishment and success of the new colony. The Second Fleet was contracted out to non-government shipowners. This meant that those in command had no vested interest in ensuring the convicts arrived in good health. Arthur Phillip was appalled at the state of the Second Fleet convicts when they arrived. Far higher numbers of convicts died during the voyage of the Second Fleet than during the First Fleet.
