People on the First Fleet came from all walks of life. Most of them were convicts, made up of thieves, pick-pockets, forgers, petty criminals and ordinary people just struggling to survive and driven to steal food.

The remainder of people were ships' crewmen; officers (including Governor Phillip) and marines, some of whom had wives and children; there was also one minister.
