Asia has nothing to do with the First Fleet. The First Fleet refers to the group of eleven ships that left Portsmouth, England in 1787, bound for New South Wales with over 700 convicts on board. Together with the officers and marines that guarded them, these made up the very first known European settlers in Australia.
