The first fleet convicts, transported from Britain to Australia in 1788, engaged in various activities on board the ships. They were involved in daily routines such as cooking, cleaning, and maintaining the vessel. Some convicts also participated in sewing and mending clothes, while others worked on deck under the supervision of the crew. The journey lasted several months, during which they faced harsh conditions and limited provisions.
