The Fleet which arrived in Australia on what is now celebrated as Australia Day was called the First Fleet.
According to Project Gutenberg Australia, from the First Fleet between 1373 and 1483 people disembarked at Port Jackson. The figures are not exact because no complete crew musters have survived for the six transports and three storeships: thus, there may have been as many as 110 more seamen who have not been identified.
