In January 1788, the First Fleet arrived at Botany Bay, bringing approximately 736 convicts and around 200 freemen, including sailors and marines. The fleet consisted of 11 ships, which transported these individuals from England to establish the first European colony in Australia. The convicts were primarily sentenced for various crimes, while the freemen included those responsible for the administration and support of the new settlement.
None. The convicts did not settle at Botany Bay, but at Port Jackson.
About 732 convicts are catholic.
None. Captain Cook did not carry convicts. His was a mission of exploration and discovery. Cook was not part of the First Fleet of convicts to Australia. Cook's only part in the passage of convicts was to recommend Botany Bay as a suitable site for a penal colony, but he died nine years before the First Fleet arrived.
The convicts knew nothing about Australia before their arrival. They had no concept of the climate, the fauna or the flora. Even the officials had no idea, sending inadequate tools and supplies with th convicts. As far as the convicts knew, they were going to a place called "Botany Bay" which was on the other side of the world. A great many of them thought that they would be near China, and once they arrived, many escape attempts were based on the assumption that China lay on the other side of the mountains.
yes it was as he had many jobs to arrive in other countries
From the day the First Fleet departed Portsmouth in England on 13 May 1787 until it arrived at Botany Bay on 18 January 1788 (but where they did not disembark as originally planned), it took a total of 250 days. If one counts the extra eight days to Port Jackson, where the convicts actually left the ships, it was 258 days.
The transportation of convicts to Austalia continued for many decades. The First Fleet of convicts to Australia departed England in May 1787, and arrived in New South Wales in January 1788. Transportation of convicts to Australia ended when the last convict ship left Britain in 1867 and arrived in Australia on 10 January 1868. This ship, the "Hougoumont", brought its final cargo of 269 convicts to Western Australia, as New South Wales had abolished transportation of convicts in 1840.
There are many types of convicts but the main ones are government service convicts, assigned convicts, expirees, emancipists and ticket of leave convicts.
