There were beds for anyone so people slept where there was space. Slaves and convicts were put in the hold, chained together, and left there.
8 months.
If there were any chimney sweeps among the convicts of the First Fleet, the length of their sentence was determined by their crimes and the whim of the magistrates who convicted them, not by their job.
Long dress, sandals and broad brim hat.
The first British settlement was founded with the arrival of the First Fleet in Port Jackson on 26 January 1788.
The last survived from 1788 until 1856 Elizabeth Thackery 89 years.
Permanent non-indigenous settlement of Australia only occurred with the arrival of the First Fleet of convicts on 26 January 1788.
The First Fleet had to wait until the arrival of the second Fleet for new supplies. This was just over 2 years and 4 months. The second fleet arrived in early June 1790 with new settlers, and fresh supplies. The problem was, it also arrived with more convicts than the supplies catered for, and starvation in the colony remained a very real problem until the arrival of the Third Fleet in 1791.
The women convicts on the First Fleet wore only what they werer convicted of their crimes in. Once their sentence was passed down, they were not permitted to go home or pack extra clothing. They boarded the ships in whatever they were wearing at the time. The wives of the officers wore the standard long sleeved dresses with long skirts that were customary at the time.
Around the time of the first fleet, 1788, sentences for convicts were usually for 7 or 14 years. Severe cases were transported to Australia "for the term of their natural life" . However, many convicts stayed in Australia life as they built entirely new lives in Australia. Opportunities for pardoned convicts were very good, and many went on to become leaders in the new, young colony.
14-18 hours a day was the usual amount the convicts had to work a day The above is an exaggeration. Convicts did not have to work such long hours except in harsher colonies such as Port Arthur, Tasmania. The average would have been between ten and twelve hours a day. It also would have depended on whether the convict was assigned to a free settler, or whether he worked on the road gangs or other tasks.
No Ned was born in 1855 a long time after the First Fleet.
Captain Arthur Phillip was aboard the First Fleet for the entire time that it sailed. The question may mean how long did Phillip remain with the group of convicts that came to be known as the First Fleet of convicts. In this case, Phillip was appointed as Governor-designate of the proposed British penal colony of New South Wales in October 1786, and he remained in New South Wales until poor health forced him to returnto England in December 1792.
